Handing Bevo a one year extension after another dud season would probably mean as long as he continues to just miss the 8 or get eliminated in the first week of finals, he will continue to get extensions. 100 years of Bevo.
If we don't have the guts to make the call now, just put the ball in his court and say he's coaching out the last year of his deal and anything more is dependent on the results of 2025. I know this isn't often done.
If he wants security, fine. He can then look elsewhere.
The goalposts will continue to shift whenever we have a bad start to the season. "Fittest strongest side" became "evolution" in record time this season.
But to be fair, the side had to evolve and it has to evolve further again. We just got well beaten in an elimination final and 2 of our favourite sons in Bont and Libba were well beaten. Plus Richards, Treloar and English. No winners.Handing Bevo a one year extension after another dud season would probably mean as long as he continues to just miss the 8 or get eliminated in the first week of finals, he will continue to get extensions. 100 years of Bevo.

Reality is we will need to make a decision by the mid season bye next season.The problem that might arise if Bevo goes at the end of the 2025 season is that the below clubs could be looking for a new coach, which limits our opportunities to find a new good coach:
- Adelaide
- Carlton
- Brisbane
- Fremantle
- Saints
- Bombers
Who do we move to mix it up?But to be fair, the side had to evolve and it has to evolve further again. We just got well beaten in an elimination final and 2 of our favourite sons in Bont and Libba were well beaten. Plus Richards, Treloar and English. No winners.
That's our engine room. The engine needs reconditioning.....it needs new parts. This off season is massive for us. If we can't change that mix for the better, we won't go a whole lot different next year. We should get a more consistent start to the home and away season with Richards and Sanders having had this year to develop but finals are just as likely to end the same way if the midfield mix remains unchanged and new blood is not infused.
As the list stands at the moment, there are very few options. Perhaps Freijah might be considered because he has it.Who do we move to mix it up?
I could see Bont moving forward more, playing a quasi-KPF role or I could see Treloar moving to the HFF role or a wing. But they are our best mids so moving them out may be fraught.
Looks like Serong is the most likely to be gettable of the Hawks defence. (Not including DGB)Bevo has always maintained he will never coach at another club.
If anything we need to continue strengthening our coaching group.
Agree this is an important draft for us, two highly rated midfielders, maybe OāDriscoll along with Sanders will freshen up the team.
Is there any pickings to be had at Hawthorn, due to two incoming players some noses will be out of joint.
I can see a future with Freijah taking more centre bounces as Bont transitions more forward?As the list stands at the moment, there are very few options. Perhaps Freijah might be considered because he has it.
To improve to the degree that we need to however, we need an infusion from outside. Draft or trade. This is Sammy Power's most important year so far in my view. We'll be standing still or surging ahead by the end of this trade/draft period. It will have far more influence than coaching in my view.
I understand that we got to the finals this year which was something we didn't do last year but we have lost yet again in another elimination final so at this moment in time he is contracted to the end of 2025 and I wouldn't be extend that either.I will ****ing fume if we re-sign him during summer. It would be a repeat of what we did last time and look how that turned out... I don't have a lot of confidence that the club has the balls to go into a senior coach contract year and deal with the associated media around that.
I know this isn't how this works, but if our opponents had kicked at a league average clip in all of their games, we would have won two more games and not lost any games.Funny ole world. A single (!) extra win this season and we are top 4 and still it, and noone would question Bevo or the club.

Iām sorry but this is complete bullshit. This attitude clubs have when they want to stay in purgatory.Funny ole world. A single (!) extra win this season and we are top 4 and still it, and noone would question Bevo or the club.
Wonder if Bevo ends up at one of these teams??The problem that might arise if Bevo goes at the end of the 2025 season is that the below clubs could be looking for a new coach, which limits our opportunities to find a new good coach:
- Adelaide
- Carlton
- Brisbane
- Fremantle
- Saints
- Bombers
I have always thought Bevo would suit a side like the Brisbane bears to coachWonder if Bevo ends up at one of these teams??
Oh the old extra win the Bulldogs need to make the top 4. We can only wish after failing year after year not to get that extra winFunny ole world. A single (!) extra win this season and we are top 4 and still it, and noone would question Bevo or the club.
