      I do know we are active in the assistant coaching space and have approached more than three people (heard about those two named as well).

              Re: Sharp Axes

              That BF thread boils down to -

              1) Bevo gone
              2) board spill
              3) new assistants

              Most likely seems #3 given Smith is out, and rumours about Lade (which seem to be just rumours). Is that about the size of it?

                Yeah, lots of window dressing but that’s the gist. Smoke and fire and all that, but it does read as scuttlebutt only IMO.

                  The Bont aspect, I wish we weren?t putting him in that scenario if true. That?s Grant and Bains failing.
                  If Bont walks in and says Bevo has to go Bevo is gone.
                  But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                    The way this team has played shows there might be a bit going on off field and it wouldn't surprise me if there is a bit of a rift between player and coach or coach and coaches. Of course that is speculation on my behalf. I'm not going to cover my eyes and ears and pretend nothing is going on, something does seem to stink within this team and while most of that post might be exaggerated nonsense I think there might be a bit of substance to it to start a fire like that.

                      Yeah that poster has really just accumulated all the leaks into one, and added some arguable BS. There is a user in the Bulldogs Discord (which is a group chat made for users of the Bulldogs Reddit if anyone knows what I?m talking about) that has been solid with leaks. So there?s 3 posters across BigFooty and other forums that I trust. Only thing I know for 100% fact is that they are looking for stronger assistants to aid Beveridge. The rest is all 50/50 and doomposting speculation. It?s the easiest thing to say that people at the club aren?t happy when the team is losing.

                        I’ve tried joining that discord before but all links I could find are expired. Is it closed off or open to anyone?

                              Geez everyone is laughing at us at the moment.

                              Memes, useless stats and a media throng stating they just cant work us out.

                              When the laughs die down irrelevance is neigh.

                              Great.

                                While it might make for an interesting read given some of our on-field challenges, the post copied over from BF is not accurate and makes many incorrect claims. How so many bullet points are assembled and then considered as in anyway realistic is beyond me.
                                In my opinion you should basically ignore it.

                                There has been some good discussions in this thread and they're most welcomed to be continued but lets put that BF speculation to bed from here as it adds nothing to the discussion.
