Too close to Bevo. Last thing Bevo or any coach needs in the coaching panel is yes men or people that were part of his squad/playing group. He needs people to challenge him and with different ideas from outside our footy club.

I’m not sure Bevo wants to be challenged, as such. That’s why he chooses co-coaches who are on the same page with his vision. If a person has new or different ideas they would reveal them at interview and he’d decide if this person will add anything to his overall plan.
Where does the concept come from that Bevo is an autocrat surrounded by yes-men? There’s no reason to think that there wouldn’t be robust discussions when solving problems or reworking strategies. But ultimately the buck stops with him.

Murphy just got a gig doing ABC radio in the mornings, so as mentioned before any role he would have with the dogs would be part time.
I don't believe Bevo is surrounded by yes men at all or wants to be surrounded by them. It seems like 1 of those things that has no merit or proof. He joined a club where Hansen, Gia, King, Rohan & Maddocks etc... were already part of the club. The last of them left this year with Maddocks. He has only just got his own coaching group at the end of 2023. The change in 2024 has shown a group that bring his message across is likely a good thing.
Bob Murphy is not a yes man.

Team selection. Our last game, a big final against Hawthorn and he doesn’t play Rylee West and Riley Garcia, two lads built for finals, we were embarrassed in front of the football world.
West was coming off an injury wasn't he and Garcia hadn't been able to lock down a spot all year... yes, we were embarrassed but that was because every single player had a bad day and Hawthorn played out of their skin
West had a broken Jaw from memory
Westy played in the two's the week before. His jaw was broken but had recovered.
After a solid year Westy was stiff to miss the final. I would have played him. Not that it would have made a difference though.
