          Do you think they’re not trying to find him a spot? He has played across all lines this year and whilst he’s performed well at times, there is a lack of consistency in his performance which has been detrimental to our performance.

          He’s just a bit part player, with no defined role who somehow is at the start of a 5 year contract and a member of our leadership group.

            That was a bit of a tongue in cheek thing Mantis.

            I am concerned about his form, he's really dropped off.

                Why do so many players drop off I wonder after signing 5 year deals.

                  We normally also see a better performance for players coming out of contract.
                  For a lot of people incentive is a powerful motivator and linked with performance.

                    I think you have to be elite to do 5 year deals. Too much can go wrong.

                      4. Get them to play with some aggression
                      Here?s an idea, if we get a head coach who doesn?t make as many shit coaching decisions, we won?t need an assistant who calls them out 😂 that should be the goal.

                      I keep seeing this sentiment - oh we need assistants that will make up for Bevos weaknesses, no lol we need a coach who doesn?t have Bevos weaknesses

                        He’d be top 5 in our BNF this year, has had a fantastic year up until two weeks ago

                          Daniel isn't elite?

                              An unlikely outcome, but Buckley seems to have the colder streak about him. It’d be a huge swing from Bevo’s method in terms of relationships.

                                No idea, that’ll be decided by a selection panel of experienced people who a) know the landscape and who has had what roles at other successful clubs and b) will be privy to an application/presentation from said person as to their vision for the club.

                                Your standard punter, ie me & presumably everyone else here - will never know but that doesn’t mean there’s not a number options there. Did you know anything about Bev or say Mccrae before they were appointed? I sure didn’t.

                                There’s a number of guys who, from the outside, have had key roles at successful clubs ie Carr, Chaplin, Yze, etc who could all be options
