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!

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
