Contrary to what I’ve said earlier about him…. The one defence (pardon the upcoming pun) I will put of Bevo with his list over the years, is he never had a strong defensive back 6 to work with.

I think the only defenders (albeit, attacking type defenders) to get All Australians whilst under Bevo, are Macrae, Bailey Dale and Caleb Daniel. Matthew Boyd was the only defender in their 2016 premiership year to get one and he was on the interchange. Easton Wood won a spot in 2015, Bob Murphy also 2015.

Easton Wood played a few years really well as a full back type player, but put him in Tigers/Geelong/US/Brisbane/Pies team and he is a 2nd maybe 3rd string defender.

Never had a Rance, Grimes, McGovern, Stewart, (Blicsavs even!), May, Harris Andrews, Sam Taylor to work with. (Couple of pies defenders I won’t name because gross).

So now I’m convincing myself that he’s gone alright, haha

I alternately think that he doesn't rate defending. If the Bulldog defenders had been tighter on Fritsch and others, they would have another premiership. Then, next year, he was moaning about the close attention that his forwards were receiving; ironic due to my point above.

2021 - 2023 when MFC defended them out of the corridor. He had no answer.

Bevo having a reasonable year, currently on the way to massive upset win over the Giants. Would love to see them hold on.

Yeah, doubt Beveridge is going anywhere. He has them playing some great football atm.
