Absolute soulless performance. Plain to see he’s lost the playing group and if he loves the club like he says he would step down.

 

[Doggy Dan]

Aren’t scarves made of wool or polyester? Must have been horrific.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

How do you lose a must win percentage booster at home against a poor team, that probably didnt want to win in all honesty

The players always want to win. And the fans.

 

[Dogsman16]

30 seconds of that presser is all I could deal with.

 

[Unorth]

I’m not reading too much into individual performances when its clear the players have been set up to fail since the start of 2022.

There are vfl type pets that need to go but it’s apparent that was a protest loss. If we want to win next week only a post coach sacking dead cat bounce can get it.

Not a great sign when his first comment is about being wounded from last week

McLean gets 29, 12 clearances and 2 goals Saturday in a BOG performance, but stubborn Bevo sticks with his favourites as usual and gives McNeil a run ahead of him even with Libba out - Bevvo is a stubborn prick

if I was McLean I'd walk out the door..

exactly mate you hit the nail on the head... Cleary gets one game all year, Baku gets a couple, thats it!! The likes of smith get a free run at it every week, it shits me. Try Cleary on a wing, let the kid run nd enjoy his footy.... Baker has no upside, he's like hannan, a good game now and then, but he always gets the nod before anyone else.

McRae, if he isn't going to play in the midfield then trade him. Why would you pay someone big bucks to play out of position. We have wrecked him.... not every bloody player needs to be a utility and play multiple positions.

West needs opportunity inside, Jamara next year needs to be the main forward, Darcy the apprentice and then good old inconsistent Rory who we are stuck with. Naughton needs to go back and rejuvente the backline and get back to his chaotic pressure.

Bailey Smith - you might end up being good, but your year has been disappointing. Cut your bloody hair and get back to finding the hardball. I would not be paying overs for the kid based on his output this year. He isn't even tagged and he struggles at times.

Yep. Absolute bunch of crap considering we were playing a Fitzroy dark days level side who have barely won an office raffle in 3 years.

He basically just said the outside perception that we have a finals list is incorrect. Basically said is that being judged on past performances of players, or a focus on half a dozen players and that you have to field a team to 22-23 players.

So now the list is the excuse. He had a hand in building the list

 

[wian]

Throwing a scarf forcefully down in front of them (or on top, I couldn't see) is not on.

It was very scary. Then it was fan on fan. I feel sorry for the kids around.

Fair enough

But they deserved a verbal spray. I'd be fuming if I was there losing to the bottom team with a finals spot on the line

He is to blame. He need to show some respect to the fans No more excuses. We have had enough

 

[Doggies_13]

Brought up he was criticised for playing JOD too early, no you were criticised for playing him as a forward early when his entire vfl form was as a back and since being in that position he has performed

 

[_Mike_]

The first 4 minutes was enough for me to read between the lines of:

• Bevo has lost the majority of the playing group
• He can no longer motivate the team to play to a structure
• he’s struggling and has no strategy

I think this was inevitable but the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the President and CEO for making such a bold statement with a contract extension when the writing was on the wall

List didn’t seem to be a problem when we had a developing number one pick, and access to pick 2 straight after a grand final.

Sick of the excuses.

 

[Doggies_13]

Absolutely believes he’s the right man to coach the football club and comfortable with his tenure at the club.

AFL media are piss weak, no why did you not attempt to shut down kelly? No questions about what you attempted to change to halt momentum early

Turned it off a couple of minutes in when he’d taken about a minute to give a 20-second response. Sucked it up and watch it all, but none of that gave me as a supporter any belief whatsoever.

That last answer as well, oh my god. That’s a sack me because I’m not walking response if I’ve ever heard one.

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

If the list is no good, why are we drafting 25-28 yo duds.

Surely we should be getting young players like Hawks.

 

[Dogs 13]

I have never been more ashamed of this club in all my 50+ years of supporting and being a member.
There’s something rotten at Whitten Oval.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I did not want Jones at the start of the year but he has been fantastic and if we didn't have him we would have finished bottom four or six.

Kingy read out some rather damning stats on Jones in one-on-one contests, but said he was much more valuable as an interceptor.

 

[Dogsman16]

I’ve never heard a commentator so openly saying that a coach should be sacked during a game like I heard David king refer to Beveridge today.

was right about the whole situation, no wonder he packed his bags and he must be thanking himself

 

[Bulldog Banana]

Just numb, didn't even care about the result. I just want some fresh ideas & some tactical nouse.

The was the biggest load of drivel i’ve heard in a press conference. Things he let slip
Says the team didn’t have the energy or enthusiasm. Thinks the list is no good. Would never bag his players but said they all lost their positions. Somehow managed to throw in a 3 minute piece on what a job he’s done with O’Donnell which has nothing to do with the question. Is fully saitisfied with the leadership and coaching at the club.

Dear lord.

 

[Dog 36]

Players protested today they want Bev gone, Bev knows this but won’t walk, the board and Grant “ diid someone say KFC”
