Re: Sharp Axes

Only Spangher ? That’s a fair meltdown from one assistant coach . Let’s be honest the problems were arising before he came .

Re: Sharp Axes

Since the AFL made all the cuts to the footy department since Covid and a lot of staff had to be let go could the stress of having to cover so many other duties have taken its toll.
Shouldn't the head coach just worry about coaching but it sounds from the outside looking in that Bevo has been covering multiple roles and this could be having an effect on his match day coaching.
I hope if this is the case we can get that support and let the coach, coach.

Sorry this doesn't wash much any more. Every club has had to evolve and deal with the cuts. We do too. Did we make the wrong cuts? if so address that, but stop using it as an excuse.

I remember the same being said about previous coaches with us. Seems to be a pattern going back further than Bevo .

Re: Sharp Axes

I can’t link it. But the club says it will do an internal review re the season. Robbo has an article tonight about why it needs to be external and include Chris Grant in it. It makes perfect sense for a change for him. Shame we aren’t looking to do something like Robbi says to find any weakness and strengthen it using some outside eyes. It’s a missed opportunity for ourselves to look at ourselves and not have an external review. But the club will look at whether the club was right to extend Bevo’s contract. I wonder what the club will find?

If everything is about getting better, to achieve better results I’m not sure why we’d not want an external review.

"There is huge frustration with Bailey Smith, he is on a huge amount of money, he is clearly a very high maintenace player, several clubs looking at him pies, hawks and cats."

Kornes head is too big for his body... it's odd

Overtalking and correcting Kane.

"They don't have their head in the sand (Grant, Darcy and Ameet), they have a coach who can be unpredicatable, who has been backed into a corner, who has lost one of his best mates in Smith who up until now has ruled the roost and they have decided to back him so they are all in on backing him for now"

Re: Sharp Axes

Caro actually balanced and making some sense in that commentary. Sounded like she had an inside word too. She has a contact I feel.

That can happen when you run close to 200km per week. Very little body.

Re: Sharp Axes

From what we are hearing.

Bevo is 100% backed into to coach next year, but they are going to use this period to get some leverage to wrestle back some control and put in some senior support for him.

Re: Sharp Axes

What was the reference she made about Stuart Dew?

She said "the club is looking at a long list of senior assitant coach candiates that they are going to bring into bolster Bevo and Dew is one of those names so there is going to be some big changes to the football department, more than what we have already seen"

Makes a mockery out of the fake, pathetic review from last year. How can they (football admin) keep their jobs?

By promising to review themselves again.
