"Beveridge retains significant support from the board, especially from football director and former star and media commentator Luke Darcy, who was on the panel that recommended Beveridge as senior coach."

It does sounds like most of the narrative from the media is that he will be retained.

I really don’t think there will be clarity on any off field changes one way or another until our season is done.

Re: Sharp Axes

How did woofers see Bevo's presser today? He just looks flat as, I wonder if he realises that he is speaking to the fans in that moment. I'd recommend he watch a few Big Ange's pressers and the way he connects with fans its just chalk and cheese atm.

The view from some is he is unwell, with a cold or something.

Bevo has the full backing of the board and will 100% be our coach next season?
Pretty sure that means ''his fired'' in modern football speak

So Monday at the latest.

Or do we wait until Footscray are also finished for the year?

Re: Sharp Axes

Thinking about our situation all week without the emotion I'm not sure Beveridge and Grant can survive this year.

Beveridge has gone into self preservation mode - and I don't blame him for that- it is only natural.

Beveridge's language about the playing group publicly has shifted dramatically over the past week or two. Prior to this he was very diplomatic in pointing out the teams flaws, now he is flat out saying they are not good enough or consistent enough.

By all accounts he was quite despondent in the pre game interview last week against West Coast - I have only read the quotes as I was at the game but Beveridge used the word trepidation. If he and the players couldn't get up for this game it is extremely concerning.

They will wait until after the review.

The source and the content both make me sick.

Can’t get any more outside than Liam Henry who we are linked with.

His game will balance out once we ruck him a few games.

I worry that his position next year might end up being "outside" the senior side.

...and the cost (picks and cap) for a guy who was behind Arty Jones at the same age.

I hope this trade never happens.
