Autopsy The Good (lol!) The Bad and the Beveridge.

But that’s the point, he isn’t good at player development. Is Weightman reaching his potential? Naughton? Jamarra? Smith? Busslinger? Richards? West? Darcy? Do you honestly think that Bevo will help Saunders and Croft reach their potential? The only player that looks like he reached his potential was English and even he looks like he has gone backwards this season.

One game in haha

Relax

He was "handed" three top 10 draft picks: Bont, Macrae, Stringer. But what's not to say that he didn't make them into superstars? Bont, for instance, immediately became an excellent player from his very first games under Bevo - six brownlow votes in his first two games in his second season.

Thinking that ... player development ... doesn't exist ... or that the coach has no role in player development ... is kind of ridiculous.

Bevo had Simon Dalrymple plucking good players late in the draft and rookie draft.
Time will tell but it looks like Dalrymple has worked his magic at Sydney as well.
I think without Dalrymple we would still be waiting for our second flag.

 

[BIG_BONTS]

Wish we had Dalrymple to work some rookie magic while we got Marra and Darcy

I've been told by the contact who gave me the Bramble info that Ratten will be coaching the club by round 4 (in a caretaker capacity only) if we don't see huge improvement

What do the hawks think about that?

He has an exit clause in his contract for senior coaching opportunities, regardless of length

What’s huge improvement?

Beating GC and WC and losing to Cats so we are 2 2

Losses are easier to make a decision on.

I think this weeks game will speak volumes will be interesting to see the sides willingness to work hard and intensity

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Maybe we can get Peter Rohde back for caretaker assistant.

Exciting times ahead.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

As solid as Scragey Boys ITK info is, I just can’t see Ratten leaving a steady assistant role for the uncertainty of a caretaker coach role.

I can see us pulling the pin in that time frame though if things continue the way they are.

 

[doggies ftw]

I’d put good money on Lade being HC next year, not that I want him to just on the fact he will almost certainly coach this year out and probably get the team going to the standard they should be at, which in comparison to old mate he will look like an absolute genius and gods gift to coaching.

Too late - Bevo played there!
(And was about to start in a coaching management role there when we appointed him)

I don’t want to sound like I’m questioning you or the integrity of your contacts Scrag, because your Bramble mail changed my life for the better, but if we are going to be faced with paying out Bevo, wouldn’t it be more realistic to pay Lade as caretaker?

I like Ratten so I'd be good with this

Dunno if Scrags serious or taking the piss, but that would be the first time a caretaker coach has come from outside the team wouldn’t it? In saying that it could be an unprecedented early sacking, so situation may be different than normal where you’re just trying the get through the year we genuinely might still be competing

But it would be a hell of a **** you to our other coaching staff and a massive indictment on the management of the club to say hey we don’t have a single coach here we think is competent enough to even manage the rest of this season not that I’d disagree but surely that would have to spell the end of Grant & Co.

And surely Hawks aren’t letting a high ranking staff member leave to another club mid season with all that IP, and why would Ratten even want to do that, what’s in it for him?

Doesn’t really add up, Im almost certain it’ll be Lade but who knows? Fun rumour

 

[Anja_Nees]

I understand their soft cap issues but it blows my mind Simpson is still chugging along under the radar. He’s achieved no more than Bevo at his best but has turned them into the 2011 Suns and everyone just seems to have moved on.

This might be very well true, as I have no 'mail' to the contrary, but it would surprise me only due to my belief (which could be untrue) that Ratten and Bevo are friends.

 

[Bulldog Banana]

When he says at a press conference that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over & expecting a different result, then continues to have VDM in the team IS the definition of insanity that he's describing.

It does seem very unlikely. One possibility is that going through the review the club made an assessment on our assistants - none are capable of stepping up. Still wanted to have a Plan B in place if shit does hit the fan so may have worded Ratten up to this possibility.

99% Scrag's just taking the piss though.

We'll still be trying to salvage something from the season, which is why an early standing down of Bevo and why we want someone with head coach experience to step straight in. We believe Ratten would serve us better in a finals campaign if we got that far. Regarding Ratten's motivation, he would be backing himself in to win the head coaching gig permanently after the season concludes. If his results were decent for the remainder of the season then he certainly goes into the running. Lade will almost certainly apply for the role too and would be considered.
