The Bevolution. Are you yes or no?

[The Doctor]

Here we are 10 rounds in and we are 5 wins and 5 losses. So much conjecture has happened about Luke Beveridge this year.

The talk has been about 'evolution' this year. Bevo has alluded to it when under pressure from the media for poor results. Our President has as well.

We have seen inexperienced players such as; Sanders, Gallagher, Darcy, Freijah, Garcia, Cleary, Khamis, O'Donnell get games ahead of Macrae, Daniel, Keath, Gardner, Dale and Lobb.

We have seen moves such as Richards to the midfield when most of us would have preferred him at half back. Then we have seen Bevo stuck with Vanders, West and recently Garcia as small forwards despite the obvious fact they are not natural small forwards. It is not Bevo's fault we haven't recruited small/medium forwards. Or is it?

Given our results of 22/23 what were we to do? Do we continue playing our regulars who failed to get us to finals or find new players and make a change?

So, how do you sit? Are you pro the Bevolution or anti the Bevolution?

Re: The Bevolution. Are you yes or no?

Sanders, Gallagher, Darcy, Freijah, Garcia, Cleary, Khamis, O'Donnell

I like to get more games into Cleary, Busslinger, Arty, Clarke and Poulter

I am not convinced Khamis is going to be a good 1-1 defender. McNeil can't kick straight. Not sure what to do with Scott other than depth. Either we play him more and on the wing, but there are a few players ahead of him.


We need to start playing some of these kids to see where they are or move them on.

Almost halfway through the season, with 14 games left. We need to win at least 12 games in total to stay in the 8. So that is 7/14 , but realistic, would need at least 15 wins to be top 4 chance.

Keep it going. Starting with Buss this week. And Sanders back ASAP.

12 games won't make finals.

13 to make finals which requires 8 from 13 or 15 for any chance of top 4 needs 10 of 13.

We just need to build momentum, but giving games to the younger brigade really makes it hard to make finals.

Re: The Bevolution. Are you yes or no?

Time for change.

Gia or Hansen at the top of my list.

He's had a good run Bevo.

However I'd wait till the end of the year. This year is a 10-14 year.

And i reserve the right to change my mind as I'm laid up with covid.

Edit: To answer the OP properly i'll all for playing the kids and tanking this season for the next coach to come in with a high draft pick. Wait. Oh, yeah for Baz.

Time for change. Let him see the year and let’s hope he goes easily (which he probably won’t)
The players need to be rejuvenated by a game plan that has more than plan A.
I like Hansen and think he could be the guy.

The post is about changing up our players not a coaching change.

Hope it's not too serious a case, and you get well soon.

Lots of it going around right now. I was staggered to be only one of three people wearing a mask on MEL-SYD-MEL flights last week. Everyone I know who has travelled the past month or two has either gotten a rotten virus or COVID as a result of flying, and given I had been ill a few times these past months I figured I wouldn't risk it.

Anyway, to the topic at hand. He's earned the right to try and turn it around if the club has agreed we need to reset prior to going again, which I think it has.

Whether that's right, I don't know, but if we are going to back him we have to do it wholeheartedly. I guess we also need to be working on a contingency if things don't look like improving as the season progresses.

But part of the deal is we have to keep introducing players and getting experience into those we think might be ready to develop their craft at the senior level. We need to figure out if Bedendo can play, and Busslinger needs blooding. It won't be a good look if we leave Sanders in the twos for much longer. There needs to be change and if that's not at the coaching level then it has to be in the playing group.
