      He'll fall on his own sword but he'll be pushed, told that he either leaves now and saves some face or he leaves at the end of the season with a team that he has clearly lost.

        If it doesn't happen now, how bad does it have to get for the club or bevo to finally end the bevo era?

          I don't think his coaching is without some blind spots that need addressing. But this group of players continually fluff their lines when they need to execute the basics to keep us in games or get us ahead in them.

          Whether it's butchering a kick or handball, being selfish, or simply not putting the effort in, this group of players lapse all the time.

            If they let this season wither and die on the vine I fear our stagnant membership will go badly backwards next year. There’s no ideal time, but there’s the right time and it’s right now. That’s leaving aside players getting so more disillusioned there’s an exodus too. We just have to accept the mistake of not doing it last year and do it now.

              We are certainly at risk of killing another coaches career until we can get a group of players that give a shit.

                  From what ITK posters have said, the benchmark for Beveridge going on next year is a prelim. That's obviously never going to happen so why persist? Keeping him around for the rest of the year with these performances will only hurt membership and will have other teams swooping on the carcass.

                      Re: Sharp Axes

                      Half the list need to be turned over.
                      VDM crucial moment where ball is forward , in contest with Impey and the too high and past him , he gives up ! Impey misses the mark and crumbs it on the bounce VDM is livid with himself. I know he tries , but it is an example of him not wanting it enough. His not alonw. We have these almost footballers. Harmes and Baker are another examples. BAKER , comes on as sub and has a shot 40 m on an angle and misses everything !

                      We have too many of these players who cant getit back , miss tackles poor kicks etc...

                      We have 2 young key backs in JOD and Buku. They are getting exposed 1-1 . Waste of a year playing Buku fwd last year. Not sure if we wear the risk of playing them or let them development more in the vfl.

                      Our small fwd do not convert enough goals and they are no where in sight when ball bits the deck.

                      Honestly i was at the game today and i reckon its time to turn over the list. The hawks just ran harder , were first to the ball and kept their feet.

                      MEEK could not get a game for dockers and he beat english for 3/4 of the game

                        I have defended Bevo. I have supported him.

                        I have zero supportive arguments left. Another dark day for our proud football club. This team we lost to today have only beaten North. Yet we made them look like a top four team.

                        Something is wrong. Very wrong.

                          Sorry, what's Bevos game plan.

                          I watched Freo live today. So clear what they are doing.
                          Ryan sits a kick behind,player up to stoppage defend like your life depends on it.

                          I don't know what our plan / brand is anymore.

                          Harmes on the wing??

                            Problem is we have signed players with currency and have a contract in front of English.

                              Re: Sharp Axes

                              Has a team ever shown their coach the door - and by extension concede the season - as early as round 8?

                              It might be the only hesitation from the higher ups at this point.

                              Well, that and looking like indecisive fools for not confronting this more bravely during the off-season rather than putting the coach on double secret probation.

                                I knew what it was before this year, but that wasn't working because of how the game changed. Players were doing then what they're doing now.

                                Not sure what it is this year, I feel it's still in development like we've been saying all year.
