For the Egan role not coaching
He’s a strategic mastermind, one of the main reasons Pies went from 17th to a premiership.
We need strategy in our team.
If true. I'm liking the guy even more now.

Not sure you like how that looks tbh. Players are already potentially wanting to leave because they feel they're being hard done by. I'm all for a more assertive coach but going from one extreme to the other will have some teething problems imo.
I remember the days of David Parkin handing the tactical responsibilities to Wayne Brittain whilst he managed the player relationships at Carlton.
Surely it'd be easier to find a soft cuddly assistant who focuses on relationships than it is to find one who is a great strategic mind.

It's cute that you think our club has the ability to find assistants in areas of need.
First club to retreat to a one coach structure and give full control to Spangher?
Leppitsch was an abject failure as Brisbane coach. There is nothing to suggest he would be good with us. Yes, he apparently grabbed a player around the neck and slammed him into the wall and was apparently despised by people at the club.
Brisbane rushed him into the role though much like they did with Voss. Leppitsch has a much more impressive resume now.

I knew we'd likely scrape the bottom of the barrel at some stage if/when we are looking for our next coach.
I didn't realise that we'd start there...

Choking players isn't a good thing. That's a weak man unable to control his aggression.
Want a real hard nut? We need another Eade. Good tactician and one who was not afraid to give his players a mouthing.

If true this example of aggression is an automatic fail.

In his short time in the media you could tell he was way too switched on to be working for them
His breakdowns of what was happening and why were always excellent
Getting him into the club in any role would be a massive win

Say what you want about Bevo the coach, and I’ve had my say, but far out he’s an impressive man. The way he’s handling the heat this week is admirable. Reminds me how lucky we’ve been to have such a great figurehead for so long. I really hope he fights through it and proves me and many others wrong, even if I have my doubts.

There is absolutely nothing about a 3-5 record (and a percentage of well above 100%) that suggests board clean-out.
It's been disappointing (obviously so far) but we are at least no worse and if anything playing slightly better on field than what we were at the end of last year, or after R1 this year
If we were hammered by 10 goals by Hawthorn, people may have a point. We weren't.

It’s not about 3 -5 record it’s based on much more like giving a coach an extension which even surprised him.
Doing a review with a feather duster etc etc

Th current brouhaha around Beveridges tenure feels very much like the one that we saw at the end of last season. One driven by the fervent hopes and dreams of hot beds of club support like this place. And a media pack that has a need to generate talking points. Especially ones that prop up their faulty thinking that we are a top 4 side.
With the board rock solid behind him and a couple of influential players coming out in support of Beveridge over the past couple of days. Unless he walks, I just don't see a scenario where the club tips him out before the end of the season. Indeed I wouldn't be surprised if they back him through the remainder of his contract. Come what may.
Strap in boys and girls. It's going to be a bumpy ride.
