Re: Sharp Axes

The comments he made in the video about being the fittest and strongest team we’ve put out since 2014 pricked my ears up.

I am hopeful but ultimately, Bevo has spent any goodwill I have. Talk is cheap. I’ll know it when I see it. My expectations are still sky high and if we don’t get close, he has to go.

As much as Bevo has done for the club if he fails this year in getting to the 8 at the least he would be gone , this list can’t be wasted another year .
He needs to bring a new atmosphere to the playing group and think the club has done all that around him so let’s see how he changes himself up.
In saying that I think we will be fine.

Happy for Bevo to concede we were not fit enough but this should have been taken care of last year. I am happy with the changes the club has made and hopefully Egan and Lade are shouldering the load and having major impact. Tactically I do not have much confidence in Bevo but he is a great player manager. I think we can finish top 4 and a prelim is essential for Bevo to retain his job for my liking. The Bont is a 1 in a generation player and honestly he probably Has only a few years left at the top of his game.

Re: Sharp Axes

Giving this a bump because looking at current game style have a feeling this thread will be used a ton this year.

I'd still give it til week 2-3 before making any actual judgements.

Seen enough to know nothing has changed with our game style. Super disappointing to see the same ?handball back under pressure to a chip kick forward? bullshit we?ve done since 2022.

You pick a side for speed and we literally had no run and carry, no running in waves, just chip mark until turn over then we get scored against. Pathetic

The problem is hujsh our game plan has not changed one iota. Tactically what has changed?

Re: Sharp Axes

How this one is on the coach is beyond me.

Our midfielders got shat on by Melbourne's. The rest of the team didn't take the game on and fluffed their lines when opportunities were presented.

Giving it until round four. If nothing changes then he's in trouble.

As for selection. Both McNeil and Khamis had to play after their late preseason form. It doesn't mean they should play next week. Others like Naughton and Lobb need to be on notice. Harmes can have another week, but can't put in two games like that in a row.

I agree, but the intangible "are they playing for the coach" question has to be raised.

There was a distinct lack of intensity across the board except for maybe a handful.

We can't sack 20 players.

How anyone can not question him at this point is bewildering to me. Thi is a man spruiking how prepared we are, the same man who plays McNeil and VDM while starting Daniel as sub.

Yes our players are not good enough but he's had this list for years at his disposal. This is his result and he needs to own it.

The more pertinent question should be are they playing for each other?

Seeing the likes of Naughton spoil Lobb with a last gasp effort to be relevant as his mind saw it made me want to vomit. Not tapping it inboard in the last, and taking it close to the boundary made me want to go for round two over the trough. He is supposed to be a leader, he needs to cut out the bullshit.

But we CAN ask them to be accountable for how they apply themselves.

Our midfield was pathetic versus theirs. It wasn't Bevo who missed easy chances or fumbled easy football.

As I said, give it to round four (which means I AM questioning him), but also give the players a chance to atone for what was a sub par effort.

Yep fair call. Naughts was shit house.

Both can be true.
