i know we use Lade as our ruck coach but Greg Stafford just finished up at Dees
He would be a great addition to our ruck/Forward coaching staff
He was one of the driving forces that help improved Melbourne so quickly once they got the talent in

I’m not sure how much he was responsible for as their forward coach but his association with that chunder painting the Dees call a forward line is concerning.
Beveridge becomes longest-serving coach in Club history
The milestone will be celebrated this weekend against the GWS Giants.
Luke Beveridge will become the longest-serving coach in Club history when he coaches his 229th game this weekend.
Eclipsing the previous milestone held by Ted Whitten Snr (228 games between 1957 – 1971), Beveridge’s coaching record is not to be dismissed.
Since taking over the helm in 2014, Beveridge has won one premiership, taken his side to two Grand Finals and 12 finals (both Club records), and holds the highest winning percentage (56.58%) among anyone who has coached 100 or more games in the red, white and blue.
He also claimed back-to-back AFL Coaches’ Association Coach of the Year awards in his first two seasons.
“Dad used to always say ‘records are meant to be broken’,” Ted Whitten Jr told the Herald Sun this week.
“I’m pretty sure Dad and Charlie would be rapt with what Bevo has done with the club, like all the supporters are.
“He has done a great job, the fact that he brought a premiership to the club (in 2016) was just unbelievable. He has had his detractors but he has proven them all wrong.
“He is hanging in there and the side is playing as well as it has for some time.”
A win over GWS this Sunday will lock up the Dogs’ spot in the 2024 finals series.

How does the 56.58% compare against other contemporary premiership coaches e.g. Hardwick, Clarko, Horse, Scott etc.? Oliver G

Quite complicated to analyse, I mean 18 teams now in Bevo’s tenure, fixture favouring bigger clubs etc.
Luke is ahead of Hardwick and Clarkson, but behind Longmire and Scott.
Check out the link:
Win today and make finals otherwise move on.
Kind of amusing that the two with the lesser percentage won more flags.

Great to get sixth, think thats closer to where we deserve to be.
Its a shame it took so long to get our season going. 11-4 with a 133% after round 8. Definitely top 4 quality after that start but super disappointing to be 3-5 with a pretty soft early draw. Maybe we needed the kick up the arse to kick us into gear. Seemed to up our level as our fixture got tougher.
Sixth might not be the worst spot to be. Don't think we should be scared of any of the teams in the finals, no one is a standout this season. 8th would have had three interstate finals to make the GF, there is a chance a run from 6th might be MCG, MCG, Sydney, MCG. Could definitely open up for us if we are good enough.

Totally deserved. Very happy for him that he’s turned what looked like a rapid plunge into another strong season.Beveridge becomes longest-serving coach in Club history

Really hope we find our way to another finals run.
Incredible effort to turn it around. We were dead and buried after rounds 13 with the draw ahead of us. Credit where it's due.

I think we probably have the scariest opponent possible in Hawthorn. Brisbane are dangerous but primarily just at home so I wouldn't be shocked if they go out in the semi finals. Port are good but we played like absolute dogshit against them when we played them.
Geelong away from Geelong is also not exactly the scariest of propositions.
Remember this after our round 1 loss?
I think Bevo and the club will get a pretty darn good sleep in their "Bed's" they will lie in tonight Kane.

Safe. Should and will go down as a bulldog great.
Draper is an absolute moron and once again will have to catch the finals on Kayo from Bali if the wifi is good enough.
Smith will walk and one or Daniel or Macrae might evaluate their options if they want guaranteed game time but he’s got the team flying without any of them being a critical cog.
For anyone who hasn't seen, this is a really great video that goes into depth on Kane Cornes's bias when talking about Bevo compared to Hinkley.
It's a long watch at 1 hour but he really goes into depth with clips from years ago that show just how obsessive Kane is with his anti-Bevo agenda.
It's a good time to watch it as we head into finals on a 6-1 run being the most inform team in the comp.
Draper might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was hung out to dry by the media over this.
He was asked to impersonate AFL media and talk about the Dogs. And he did it really well
