Coach Luke Beveridge & the Dogs - is his time up? Where are they at?

[Taper]

I'm in two minds about it. I feel like we've underachieved again but we are playing better now than we have for a little while. He's adjusted the game style to more suit modern footy and probably had a few things wrong early in the year regarding selection.

I think he's too experimental to see stable results across a season but his unpredictability and ability to fire the team up can work during the finals.

He's the anti Ken Hinkley in a lot of ways.

Bulldogs are still an enigmatic team, and easily the hardest team to tip on a week to week basis.
Port are the opposite, they would probably be the easiest team to tip.

I know the majority of Port supporters would happily replace Hinkley with Beveridge if given the chance.
Would you or any Bulldogs supporters replace Beveridge with Hinkley if given the chance?

I would. I'd like some stable structure and selection.

Am convinced that SuperCoach/Fantasy stats make people overrate their list.

Ew.

Kiss the ring ….. beveridge is a great coach

Would love to see how many coaches could keep Carlton to 86 points with our backline. Their lowest score in two months and we did it with Lobb, Khamis, Coffield, Duryea, Bramble, Freijah and Dale.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Everyone and their dog knows we can play good footy. God only knows why we cannot play with that intensity more often.

 

[revo333]

It would be a disaster if we snuck into the 8 and he keeps he is still coaching the team in 2025.

 

[lizard man]

Bow down to bevo …. He’s a great coach

With all the bullshit stupid moves Bevo has tried - it’s hilarious that Rory Lobb

Ed Richards to midfield has been revelation

 

[adogsfan5]

I guess this is why so many dogs fans were annoyed early on.

In saying that, looks like he just needed some time with a new look side and coaching staff.

Might be worth considering for your mob.

 

[hoss]

Doggies look like the best team in the comp at the moment.

Was only around 7 dogs from 2021 GF side in the current side off the top. 2022-2024 could be a 2018-20 period of refreshment that sees us a another chance at it.

But lets see how it plays out….

Credit to Bevo and his assistants.

Got the Dogs humming at the right time of the year.

He gets a lot of criticism for trying guys in different positions, but not many talk about the changes that went really well.

Matty Boyd to the backline - made the all Australian team
Caleb Daniel to the backline - made the all Australian team
Naughton to the forward line
Bailey Dale to the back line - made the all Australian team
Richards to the midfield

To a lesser extent West to the forward line has been good, as was Wallis previously. Cordy did a job there in the 2016 finals series.

Bramble has been a master stroke recruitment

Sam Draper is Nostradamus. Exodus coming to Footscray this year.

Oh dear. Did he also foresee Essington dropping from top 4 to 10th lol.

I think he meant to say Nostradumbass

Nice of Draper to be cheering on the Dogs from his TV screen during finals because his team misses out again
