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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
