Said it before, he’d be my pick. He looks to be pretty entrenched at the dogs at this time.What price for Bevo?

I wouldn’t mind Bevo either but he just does not seem to be like the coach the Eagles like to employ.
Yes, we prefer coaches who can make top 4.I wouldn’t mind Bevo either but he just does not seem to be like the coach the Eagles like to employ.
should've used a scraping the barrel gifBevo and Ken, huh?

We are a long way from looking at the top four so we don’t need to worry about that.Bevo has never made the top 4. Ever.
Fluked his way into two GF with very favourable umpiring. There is no way he would get that here and our travel schedule makes it pretty much impossible to make a GF from outside top 4.
Get what you're saying CK.Perhaps, we can reintroduce the head of strategy and innovation role that was previously held by Phil Walsh and then Pyke where the person is responsible for all the game plan tactics/strategies & overall playing style which essentially allows the head coach to solely focus on coaching and developing the squad.
Might be something we end up doing again if we hire a highly rated assistant coach to be our new coach and perhaps, we could bring on someone like Mark Stone for that head of strategy and innovation role.
Hypothetically, what do you enjoy or laugh more at.
Taking bucks or ken, they get the list sorterd out in 3-4 years, stay on and make a surprise granny.
Ken beating the power,
Or bucks beating the pies?
Get what you're saying CK.
But it's the Head Coach role to determine best game plan/playing style after considering input from support coaches?
Every decision is on coach, live and die by the sword.
I can't remember where the Sumich radio segment is on here, posted by goroyals. Suma, rightfully not always admired for his commentary, does make a great point about the Head Coach responsibility.
How do you get that 100% effort ? you can see the players for some reason come out and just go half arsed, that has to be motivational. Its probably time to put the entire list on performance based wages somehow, pay the minimum possible and boost their pay packet with wins/effort. I bet if they stop getting paid this effort problem would disappear.I don't think we should be looking for super duper sexy game plans to make a difference at this point in time. We don't have the quality of personel to play like Collingwood, Brisbane or Sydney and won't have that personel for some time.
Nor do we have the basic building blocks of 100% effort, two way running and adherence to team rules that have to be in place for any game plane to work to any degree. I think that this is where the new coach needs to start.
And as for the game plan, as much as supporters won't like it and i will get shouted down for saying it, maybe we should do what other sides who don't have a whole lot of talent on their list but are getting the absolute most out of their lists like St Kilda and Hawthorn do, and have a game plan based around team defence. Defence is more about effort, organisation and discipline than it is talent. So if you don't have many all stars on your list it is a more logical place to start than having an offence oriented game plan that requires individual skills and talents that you just don't have available.

I’m 52 and I don’t have the same energy or enthusiasm for work, I still do it, but not to the same level as I previously have, retirement thoughts creep more and more into the thinking.
