We absolutely did. And you know it

No you didn't. Go look at the club below you for a start.

No you didn't. Go look at the club below you for a start.

Which club? There's 16 clubs below them now.

What a marvellous appointment

A great blend of discipline and the ability to communicate with youth

There definitely wasn't enough bravery for North anyway. Wilted when the pressure was on

 

[DarwinRoo]

You would be able to recognise that since you've seen it so many times.

I haven't seen Libba Snr celebrate a point like that since the 1997 Prelim Final.

That's so last millenium.

Ripper bloke, flog of a person

Still sour he correctly called your club out for being whingers?

Who here remembers this?

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

We should wait until he is in second year but so far all the signs are good.

Ok, what do we do now?

 

[Superstar swan]

Amazing job..he looks like a bloke who really cares for his players and club..you can tell that every player on the list has the upmost respect for him.

Coach of the year

Sure. It's a still from the TISM video for Greg the stop sign, but I'm pretty sure that ain't Bevo.

I wonder if Brendan McCartney will get any credit for the dogs success? #notroll

Someone else posted something similar on another thread. He does deserve some credit, he did set some building blocks in place and recruited well (with help) and instilled a desire for the contested side of the game which is still evident today. We wouldn't have our manic pressure, tackling and contested ball focus without him (well, perhaps we would have, but might have taken a while longer to get where we are).

But it's clear he wasn't the best tactician or communicator - and so all the good work was at risk of coming undone towards the end. I wasn't happy at the time of his departure, but the club has made the correct calls since then and we are benefitting from that. If he had stayed, the very list that we have now may not have still been intact.

It would be nice for him to get some form of acknowledgement from the club for his contribution if we are successful IMO.

Why did you guys only use 34 players if your injury crisis was so bad?

 

[Dazb86]

We absolutely did. And you know it

They had 14 players miss one game or less for the year and we had 5.

He should, he recruited a lot of the players, and perhaps his internal squabble with the those few players was necessary.

10 years on.

The 10th anniversary of St. Bedes Mentone's VAFA C Grade Premiership win over AJAX at Trevor Barker Oval. Playing Coach that day was Luke Beveridge. The genesis of AFL premiership coaching success?

Another product of the hawks Coaching Factory.

He started his coaching career as St. Bedes in the Ammos, and was player development manager at Collingwood in 2009 and 2010, before he arrived as Hawthorn.

It might be a good model though for clubs, such as Brisbane, looking for a new coach - someone with a low profile who has coached at a lower grade and filled a number of roles at different clubs.

Bev and Simpson made GF in their second season. Says a lot about Clarko and the coaching culture at Hawthorn.
