Looking at the Bulldogs team that beat Sydney on the weekend and virtually every player was either recruited while McCartney was coach or developed massively during his time at the club. The team was also conspicuously absent of guys like Minson, Griffen, Cooney, Jones, Tutt and Higgins who were the most obvious leaders of the revolt against McCartney last year. Not to play down what Beveridge has been able to achieve but he's been handed one of the best, most committed young groups of players you'll ever find.
Given he was a key man in developing Geelong's great era and the Bulldogs look like they could be anything, surely he gets another crack at a senior coaching gig. Could Carlton do any better for their rebuild than a guy who has twice done it unbelievably well? What about a team like Richmond if they bite the bullet on Hardwick? The way I see it there's no other assistant coach out there with anything like the history of success and for a team looking to rebuild he'd be a no-brainer choice. Thoughts?
