I don't know how anyone can judge a coach who has the players we have available.

Stop making sense, gets in the way of a good troll thread.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

If ever there was a way to tell the world you're a clueless nuf nuf, its to post like Adz.

He has a special bone(r) when it comes to the dogs.

Stop traffic, Bevo is coming through.. trial at the junction is getting a bit HAIRY.. so don't make him grumpy...

Alan Joyce was sacked in 1993 2 years after a flag at Hawthorn. Different era but there is precedence

Sure but I am not sure if it happening once in history is a good example to use.

What is it with the obsession with coaches being sacked? What purpose would be achieved by doing so? Literally the only way he is being sacked is if Clarkson has secretly told bulldogs he is coaching them next year.

 

[adammania9]

One good year from the Pies under Buckley and he’s all of a sudden Norm ******* Smith.

Almost relevant

 

[hoianbulldog]

Nothing Bevridge has done suggests he will make it as a coach.

He already has made it.

 

[hoianbulldog]

You’ve sacked every coach you’ve ever had. This won’t be different.

Terry Wallace says hi.

 

[Adz]

Terry Wallace says hi.

He walked before he was pushed.

This is why the main board stinks.

There is a legitimate conversation to be had about Bevo and the coaching changes, match committee and game day issues that have been prevalent since the flag. These are discussed in several threads on the dogs board, with many different opinions across the fan base.

But on here there’s an idiotic post (or multiple) about how he’s a shitty coach, less than two years after getting one of the least experienced lists (with arguably minimal star power) in recent history to a flag. This in turn causes dogs posters to call this out, and a shitfight ensues.

If anyone wants to engage in a discussion on his coaching without the hyperbole I’m all for that.

Are the rumours of friction amongst playing group accurate?

 

[hoianbulldog]

That is nonsense. It simply isnt true.

Not many coaches retire or leave

Agreed. These s**t fights are too much.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

ILY BF. Never change.

No idea, I don’t have any contacts within the club. I would imagine the odd player isn’t happy with team performance, being dropped, trade rumours or whatever - particularly around some club fabric players like Dahlhaus and Wallis. If I was them I’d be unhappy with their own performances instead as outside of our draftees and maybe a couple of others like Macrae and Williams almost every senior player has regressed.

My personal opinion is that the coaching mix isn’t right, we’ve had a significant injury list and haven’t replaced leadership with our retirees. But that’s conjecture, there absolutely could be other things at play.

Quality thread..Maybe not.

This is a piss take or are you just a simpleton?

Yeah winning a flag from 7th and missing finals the next year happens all the time. You make a good point.

He led us to finals the season before we won the flag.

Losing 1 final is not exactly a textbook pedigree.

 

[chef]

Not sure I'd call beating a red hot Eagles in Perth, 3 peating Hawks at the G, the AFLs Frankenstein's monster at Spotless and the top team in the Grand final in consecutive weeks a fluke. Weird.

We were the best team at the right time, not the best team all year.

 

[Cadillac]

Losing 1 final is not exactly a textbook pedigree.

I never said it was a textbook pedigree. But our team has been ravaged by injury the last 2 years and both our teams are positioned right next to each other on the ladder. What’s Freo’s excuse for their shocking season?

At least we’ve managed to get a premiership out of our coach. What’s yours done for you lately? Besides a couple of off field scandals and being forced to rebuild the team from scratch after 7 years of underachieving?

No, but that was my point. The Dogs are pretty unique, you can't compare them to other premiership teams.

Gee, you'd think our coach's position isn't currently being questioned.

If only we'd been gifted a home grand final we'd probably have a flag by now.

Here is another good point
Ross Lyon 56% win ratio. 0 flags
Bev 56% win ratio. 1 flag.

MCG was a neutral venue to Dogs and Swans.
We also won in Perth and Sydney to get there. Hardly a fluke.

No need to defend it .. jealousy is a curse
