    No way with years to run the club does anything soon. I guess the question is how much shit everyone needs to eat before it becomes a serious question.

    Hard to attract gun players and gun free agents with heaps of picks and cash with a start to a year like this…

        Re: Sharp Axes

        So tired of Bevo we were treading water for a long time but the capitulation against Freo, Melbourne and the Saints has been shocking even by our standard. It feels like we are in the worse spot we've ever been under Bevo when we should be maturing as a group and he should be at the top of his game.

        Nothing could be further than the truth. 5-0 start coming up. No chance Bevo gets tapped on the shoulder we'll devolve to basket case first and unfortunately have to stay there for a while.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Unless there's a sharp turnaround over the next two weeks I feel his time is up.

          The players aren't working hard enough and they're not responding to whatever it is he is telling them. Someone new coming in and spearing them with some home truths might be all that can turn them around as players or the majority of them will fade away.

            Bevo has three years salary promised to him right?

                Yep. Signed too early. So just have to make it work somehow. We made our bed.

                  I'd be surprised if there wasn't a termination clause in there that offset some of the damage.

                        We legit do not even have a solid caretaker coach to hold the reins even if we wanted to go rogue.

                            Depends on a few things. Coaching contracts aren't secure depending on the funding you receive from the AFL

                              Lade would be a more than adequate caretaker, if it came to that.

                              Those are two of the poorest back to back performances I can remember in the Bevo era. It is amazing how he can tap in to emotion at times - and at other times it feels like there is no connection between coach and players at all.
