Rumour Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

Burn down Arden Street.

And the other $999k worth ????

Keep burning it down?

Then there's that place with spongey floors in Tullamarine...

Pratt seems solid. Not sure about Egan’s role and whether that will move the needle for our on field performance but he’s well regarded and good as a backup after missing out on our main target. Geary and Johnson are first-timers but Geary particularly should be good immediately in a development role. One less line coach than last year, particularly for stoppages/midfield, is sub-optimal. No ex-senior-coach assistant and/or no experienced forwards coach is disappointing. Goal kicking coach could be the money move though.

May be the change itself is all we needed.

Windy Hill.

Either everyone hates Essendon or I have just found your alt account !!

 

[Dogs 13]

Pratt
Egan
Geary
Johnson
Dixon

Just having this many new voices around the group, many with decent recent coaching and playing experience, will do wonders for the team.

I reckon we could be a bit of a Smokey next season. Mids stilll capable, fwd line will only get better (I’m anticipating a massive upswing), defensively hopefully we see improvement with a regular KPP set up and development from JOD. Probably written off by most of the comp after this seasons performance. Ripe for the picking by Bevo’s emotional brilliance.

Could this off season be this decades post 2014. Here’s hoping.

Up the Scray!!

Who’s Dixon ?
Edit: ah Ben Dixon, I remember now. Sorry

Ok that’s spooky.

I think a lot of people would just be happy to see Windy Hill get burned to the ground.

Majak Daw infamously banged Pratt’s ex-girlfriend and they had a proper blue about it. If Daw was still in circulation we’d be in a unique position to prevent Daw from winning the Majak Daw Medal from a tactical perspective.

Daniel should have paid more attention to her and less to the chickens.

I think she bet large on Majak after his six-goal haul against us.

A bit like going all in on Lehman Brothers early 2008.

I remember that game more clearly than some of our finals wins. Truly scarring.

Being fair, his form line at the time was undeniable

Very happy with what the club has done. No excuses from here.

Well Windy Hill and Tullamarine are 2 different things. Burn them both!

As for Anja_Nees and I....

 

[Maverick Dog]

As long as Bevo is on the boundary and out of the box I am fine with this. I would expect Egan and Lade in the box with the cheerleaders on the boundary motivating the players.

Hopefully Bevo stops whinging that he has to cut oranges for the boys at half time now.

 

[Golden_6]

Probably for Gold Coast and North.

That’s literally the only reason for this. Makes a mockery of the ‘soft cap’.

Exactly. Rather then adding ability to pay salaries outside of the soft cap they should've just increased the soft cap.

 

[Planet Dogs]

According to BF Bevo is the third most hated AFL coach, narrowly behind Goodwin and CS: Which current coach do you dislike the most?

Hopefully that means we can free up some more cash to bring in another assistant coach.

Yes please, a recently retired footballer for line coach for forwards or additional coach for midfield
