Whenever I think of Bevo I think of the different halftime instructions Goodwin and Bevo gave to their players.
Goodwins message was clear and concise whereas Beveridge was a disjointed old school babble.

    "He's fine. For some reason, he lost his footing and stumbled, but he's fine. He's been looked after and there's no concussion or anything like that," Beveridge said of Liberatore.

    Thanks so much for posting that Fork. 

    Takes one's mind away from Thursday night and shows what we are capable of.

    PS Bevo totally uninspiring. Does he have some goat photos?

    How anyone can get stuck into Bevo as a coach is beyond me. Even a shallow dive into the stats say he's been a supurb coach. A deep drive into the stats says he's one of the best.

    If there was a ‘tweaked ankle’ that caused it, usually you grab at the injury site straight away after falling. And he also doesn’t try to take weight off either ankle before he falls. 
     

    But then again, he also stops his fall with his hands, which shows he’s not so out of it he can’t protect himself.

    Despite my comment about his GF address being disjointed babble I do think this is fair.
    He might be eccentric but he can't be a mug.
    His results are far better than that.

    Its starting to get some attention now, but their list outside of their top half dozen or so is only average.

    With all due respect to these players, it's no wonder they're not a certified top 8 team when you have Williams, Baker, Khamis, O'Donnell, Vandermeer, Johannisan, Duryea playing regularly with a young Sanders and Gallagher.

    Macrae is out of form and probably past his best and Daniels not preferred in the side and has significant limitations, his skills by foot have deserted him over recent years and are inconsistent at best. Smith obviously out injured doesn't help their shallow midfield beyond their core 3.

    Bevos been there a while now and done quite well with the list he has in my opinion. It will be interesting to see if the heat ramps up on him though. They're trapped in that mid-tier level currently.

    Anyone know anything about that type of tackle from Stringer? Is it dangerous and does it cause damage to lungs or rib cage?

    Watched it again after posting it.
    Dunno what it is, no matter how may times I see it, right toward the end of the 3rd Qtr my eyes start watering.
    Strange phenomenon I thought might go away but seems to be lingering.
    Also makes me feel happy and warm so that's a plus.

    Harmes' pass to Fritter to turn the tide gave me goose bumps. Always does.

    watched the whole thing again, i needed that!

    Goodwin is an excellent communicator. Clear, smart and has an obvious emotional bond with the group

    There will be a mass exodus from the Dogs if they keep losing this year. 
    This is a Club who lost a home game to Meth Coke last year  

    I understand this, but no team would end up with both ‘Marra and Bont, least of all us.

    he’s been there so long and they still have a terrible defence. He is good on game day but lacks other aspects of being an overall good coach.

    I didn’t say we would get both, but we should chase them hard. 
    The Dogs are finished

    Carlton’s luck continues.

    Sam Taylor looks badly concussed (hopefully he’ll be ok)

    Guess who Carlton are playing next week?

    Agree. Beveridge is full of BS.

    Libba doesn’t stumble or lose his footing.  He simply loses his senses and falls. Have to applaud Parish for checking in him and raising his hand.  There is the game and there is humanity.  Parish 👏👏👏 Bevo 🥔 🥔🥔

    Thanks Dr. Nick!

    GWS are good to watch but gees why players cannot kick a drop set shots instead of snapping within the 45 degree arc does my head in.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
