It’s being made clearer and clearer that Bev is not much chop as a coach without smarter footy minds alongside him. Now that our department sucks he’s being shown up as out of his depth big time.Good point.
In the 2016 GF, Libba went to JJKennedy after half time. IIRC, it was a suggestion from 'a member of the coaching panel'.
Worked beautifully.
I wonder if that was Kingy?
Strongly doubt it was Bevo's idea.
Given that such a move helped get us a flag, I would've thought Bevo would see the value in it.
Apparently not.
At some point he being has to bear some of the responsibility for presiding over losing the same way time and time again. Need to recognise a trend and figure out something to combat it, not just let it roll along35, was 52-17 about a third of the way through the third quarter.
Let’s all let that sink in. We had three times the amount of points the opposition had partway through the third quarter, and lost.
Unfortunately it won’t be a coach killer though. Something something injuries, something something process this, something something need to take our chances.
Here's a snapshot of those who spent time forward. Ranked according to pressure acts from the least number of pressure acts to the most.

3, possibly 4 players from this group are going to get their arses handed to them on Monday. Can you guess which ones?
Bedford sliced us repeatedly with dash out of D50 and we could get anywhere near him. Was an opening link in a number of chainsCaleb was exposed for leg speed a bit today imho.
English battled it hard today but still needed a chop out. It makes not moving Naughts back even harder to fathomThought English was very good today. Very good.
Thought Dale was pretty stiff there Grub was pushing him from behind. Was just trying to stabilise himself didn't impede the Grub at all should have been play onI maintain that Bailey Dale got Greene into the game with the holding free which resulted in a goal.
Don’t worry there’s pressure coming on Bevo but I don’t think we’ve got the balls to make any drastic moves
Not sure who you’re talking about when you say President as I’m yet to see or hear from any president for the last 2 years
Absolutely headless after today should not have lost that

At least Naughts has at least been an actual defender. It wasn't the time to experiment with Lobb as FBAt the time I could see why he’d make that choice but in the clear light of day we probably just needed to take 10 mins off the clock. Undoubtedly Naughton back v Lobb would have helped us achieve that.
This is not the worst idea tbh. Couldn’t hurt and he has been doing coaching work with the AFLW teamIf Bruce retires then the club should hire him as our new forwards coach
I have been praising JUH as a special player in the future the way he has developed but I was extremely disappointed with a lot of his lack of effort yesterday when the ball hit the ground.
Need to find out if some of these draftees are going to take us forward or if we need to look elsewhere for our improvementLosing from that position with a last quarter kicking with a strong wind is pretty poor. Needed to park the bus in the third and absorb their run and didn’t. Lobb to full back probably straight into Bev’s top 10 too smart by half moves, sadly.
Time to bite the bullet and play A. Jones, Garcia and O’Donnell and give Clarke and Busslinger their turns over the last few weeks. We’re not beating any serious football sides this year playing some unmotivated and dour football, a debut or two could be a good spark.

Not a fan of Clickbait Cornes, but he nails it. A huge waste. But, the club is too gutless to change.
Always the gentleman OG. Embarrassing is but one of the several words (many of them colourful adjectives) that I would use to describe that.Here is the full rundown of pressure inside 50 and frankly it's embarrassing...

I'm certainly with you on your last point, C1.I haven't felt so down a day after a game in a while. There was just something about the way that we lost that doesn't sit right. I now dread Friday's game against Richmond.
A friend offered to drive out here to Melton from Kensington, pick me up and accompany me to a game since I will need help, then drive me back home after the match. I had planned on our afternoon match against West Coast next month. It's been five years since I've seen us play, longer than any time that I lived in the states. I just don't know if it will be worth the physical effort if we play like we did yesterday. Never thought I'd feel like that.

It will beveryextremely interesting to know what the problem with Daniel and Smith was in last quarter. Absolutely no mention was made of either in the presser and the question wasn't asked.
This is speculation of course, but if one or both of them turned out to be unwell, part of Bevo's "processing" might be processing how they got onto the park in the first place and then were unable to see the game out in a situation where all hands were required on deck. In the absence of any factual information (which of course we're not really interested in) there's a hint of groundhog day about it.
West has to play as a mid or not at all he is too slow to make it as a HF. Playing as a mid minimises the down side of that lack of speed . We do need to find some midfield speed though to be able to take the game onYesterday was such a nice day. Thought Cleary was impressive. And I’m in love with West’s hardness. I think West has a future
