Perfect.

Said he was top of my wish list in the coaching replacement thread a week or so ago.

Bevo needs a new start - he would be 100% perfect for us

    Don’t mind it. Very different coaching style; has a hard edge about him and can back foot the media if they come at us. Feel like when one of our players gets poked in the eye from a fend off which isn’t called high, bevo would work it into the press conference post match.

    At least Bevo is not a robot, that’s a good start.

    I did wonder how long it'd be before Luke's name was proffered.

    I have a feeling Caro is just joining dots here, rather than leading with any real insight.

    I wouldn't be against Luke taking the role, although as @BDA says, I'd be wary given Luke has never made the top 4. He's made two GFs though, which makes him probably the greatest Bulldogs coach ever.

    Yeah he's definitely not a robot and always fine his press conference fascinating at times.

    I also like that he's set a pretty hard stance on JUH behaviour unlike Goody who turned a blind eye to Oliver.

    JUH was a free hit for the Bulldogs though, got a number one pick for a bag of crisps, and Lachie Hunter anyone...

    Some might find this weird but much like my comment about how tragedy always finds Melbourne because it doesn't have a home, the Bulldogs have that underdog "woe is me" mentally drilled into the walls at Whitten Oval. They just aren't meant to be perennial contenders. I'm probably too idealistic but I genuinely think it plays a role. He got them to two Grand Finals, AND a flag from 7th against a very good Sydney team. He also got close to a second flag from outside the top 4 (close as in, made it to within a quarter and a half...).

    I want a coach absolutely brutal on culture and standards (but allows minor slip ups as we’re all human - I’m taking systemic and systematic bs)

    @Superunknown Like how JUH isn’t playing and Hunter was banished prior to coming to us?

    Or McRae being stuck in the twos despite being on massive coin?

    It’s an interesting situation. I like Bevo, he is one of Northey’s Boys. So i am sure he would like to come home.

    Is he tough enough, we need a Coach who demands and gives out Respect

    This Club cannot have another Coach who is everyone’s mate…

    The Football Club must be an elite Workplace, that doesn’t mean you cannot have Fun, and i have no Problem if the new Coach “loves” his boys, but there must be a divide

    “You are hear to work”….

    Stripped him off the vice captain and traded him out.

    On JUH, the pull would have been there to play him. On talent alone he's right up there if not better then Sam Darcy, but he's held his nerve and held a strong stance.

    Unlike Goody, he willing to pull punches regardless of who it is.

    This whole debate about Goodwin being a soft coach and us needing someone tougher on players, is Deja vu from the Dean Bailey/Mark Neeld fiasco. Look how that turned out.

    At least Bevo has a proven track record though.

    Not sold on Bevo.

    Haven’t watched that show in years or anything 7 related and boy was it a shock to see that Hutchy has become a whole lotta man.

    And I still can’t stand Caro…

    What a horrible line up that show looks like, 3 of the most repugnant afl people on the one panel.

    Great summary SW.

    You won't meet a better people manager and a great bloke to boot.

    He'll chat with any supporter / member anytime anywhere and treat them like they're as important as any other person in the club.

    Very humble guy but always looking for the edge over oppo and lookimg to get the best and expecting it from every player on the list.

    And there's no way he'd be allowing the forward crud we've seen in the last 2.5 seasons to continue on unsolved imv and just keep crashing & bashing on in hope.

    Big yes from me.

    29th July, 2013, Peter Jackson appeared on "On the Couch".

    Interview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu0NIDU-aC0

    Jackson was one of, if not the best appointment the club has had this century.

    He stated on the program, that at times "the club's gone back to too many people who have got red and blue...I think sometimes we don't have a propensity in this club to bring in the best from outside".

    He then spruiked the culture and winning environments at clubs like Sydney and Geelong.

    After that interview he went on to appoint a number of people within the football department from those cultures. Paul Roos, George Stone, Ben Mathews, Brett Allison, Brendan McCartney, Matthew Egan and Shannon Byrnes. Industry best appointments.

    My worry is that we are now moving away from appointing the best, and reverting to this propensity of former MFC people.

    Brad Green - President

    Nathan Jones - Midfield coach

    Mark Jamar - Ruck coach

    Alastair Nicholson - rumoured as next CEO

    Steven Smith - rumoured as next President

    Luke Beveridge - rumoured as possible next coach

    These people may very well be the best options, and that it's just a coincidence that they have had a MFC involvement before,I don't know from afar. But I just hope we are not reverting back to what we were before Jackson. To be a high quality and successful club, you need the best people in the industry, and I hope we are going after them regardless of whether they have red and blue in them or not.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
