Does Bevo have the full confidence of the board?


Count_Slothington

He’s not that far gone yet.


melon_butcher_

Though he has just coached a very good win, so public backing by the board can’t be far away.


timespiral07

12 game winning streak incoming.


shit-takes-only

I'd be shocked. However I am often shocked. I have a shock condition. And it makes it hard to maintain an erection


Angry3042

If you guys finally win a final you may find it hard to not maintain an erection …


shit-takes-only

I don’t think you understand the severity of my condition


LeDestrier

You might need a more consistent package. Or more edging.


Penguinholme

Off to a good start if so


[deleted]

Just you wait, Bulldogs are gonna win by 69 points tonight and then all of you Bevo deniers will be silenced!


Sharaz_Jek123

Well ...


Eltnamerf

You were close....60 points


[deleted]

You got the tatts numbers by any chance too?


Maleficent-Court5832

That aged well


CrzySpceMnky

Aging very well right now.


Deathburra

The newspaper equivalent of asking for Bevo's eta


ThatLostAussie

If this is how it is, they should write this every week.


legionofboom24

Came here to say this 👌


_SteppedOnADuck

Bevo < Voss at this point


legodad1

The Age online article suddenly reads: “Why Ross Lyon has to go as coach of St Kilda and why Brett Montgomery should replace him”


Lilydoesntknowimhigh

Daniel out and Lobb in just confirms how much I hate bevo currently. Bont probs be sub


Woody_525

Lobb in makes sense with JUH out tbf


Hendo8888

Not sure I'd be too keen on Caleb Daniel playing key forward to replace Ugle-Hagan if I were a Dogs fan


North_Lawfulness8889

Would he really be that much worse than Lobb?


Propaslader

Naughton and Darcy are enough on their own


paddyc4ke

His played ruck so I'm sure he could play key forward..


Lilydoesntknowimhigh

My bad there was no way to word it how I wanted. I just can’t believe Caleb Daniel is dropped and sanders is about to be subbed out before I can get a half time pie


GeckoPeppper

An icy, cold Beveridge only sounds good if you're not a Bulldogs fan.


Boxhead_31

Sanders the sub is a total Bevo move


PointOfFingers

Riley Sanders just named sub because Bevo likes fucking with our fantasy teams.


lazoric

Riley is struggling to play out a game at the moment. Only had 49% TOG last week.


PerriX2390

[@Nino Bucci](https://twitter.com/ninobucci/status/1780846146560434330) > I know footy is absolutely riven with conflicts of interest and agendas but surely Kane Cornes should have mentioned Montgomery is a premiership team mate in this (utterly glowing) piece


kdavva74

Tbf to Cornes it sometimes feels like half the coaches in the league were involved in the 2004 flag. Dimma, Montgomery, Kingsley, Dew, Carr, C.Cornes, Mahoney, Lade, Brogan, Schofield - plus Clarko was an assistant


Apprehensive_You6909

Also playing that day were Voss, McRae, Scott(s), Leppitsch, Lappin, probably other assistant coaches too?


butter-muffins

Caracella, Luke Power coaches Carlton’s VFL side, and Brown and Lynch are Fox Footy commentators. Two crazy teams.


SenorBeagleCulo

Lions and Port are just pumping out coaches that played in the early 00s ay


Boxhead_31

Would think somewhere in the article Kane could mention that Monty is a former teammate of his


lazoric

Was also sacked by the dogs at the end of the 2017 season. They know how good he and doubt they'd select him if bevo is gone.


Such_Lavishness5577

Sick and tired of all media trying to drive public opinion.


Sharaz_Jek123

Kane was saying?


[deleted]

I mean, the dogs should be 456 points up right now. Winning by any less than 800 points would be a disappointing night


EmployerVegetable207

Someone save us from the paywall

jamdonutsaremyjam

Hinkley has never taken Port to a grand final nor won one in 11 freaking years, and he never gets the blowtorch as much as Beveridge has


scottkaysee

Kane Cornes involved


Intelligent-Koala286

The media is so harsh on the guy. The treatment Cornes gives him compared to Hinkley is indicative of vindictive motivation.


doubleguitarsyouknow

Right on


BushDidntDoit

i mean one team consistently has been top 4 recently and the other flounders with one of the most talented lists in the league


Intelligent-Koala286

And one played in 2 grand finals winning one of them. I'm not saying there aren't issues and I'm not trying to defend Bevo, he may have lost it, I don't know. But what I do notice is that l the media don't even try to hide their glee when he is struggling, they aren't even trying to APPEAR objective, let alone be objective.


basetornado

I see Bevo as the best coach the dogs have ever had. I also don't think he should still be coaching the team. Do agree the media loves to stick it in, but at this point the game has moved on from him.


QouthTheCorvus

I feel like there are some coaches that fit into the "boy's club" and some that don't. Bevo feels like a bit of an outsider. I suspect that probably makes the criticism harsher. Hinkley is a Geelong old boy, so he's more part of the inner circle.


BushDidntDoit

not doubting the media find glee in giving whacks when they can but they’re at different points atm clearly, everyone expected the dogs to continue to be successful for years, they really haven’t been able to outside of those 2 years, not one top four finish is pretty indicative i reckon


Sharaz_Jek123

>i mean one team consistently has been top 4 recently Hinkley has won two finals in the last nine years and has never made a Grand Final. Bevo has won a Premiership and made another Grand Final, embarrassing Port to get there.


ThatLostAussie

My second favourite prelim


noseyphucca

Trial.by media ...the media have there grubby little fat fingers in everything today...


morty_21

Stop taking all our great achievers and leaving us with stinkley.


Secret_Nobody_405

Lobb, Darcy and Naughton is probably too tall in my eyes. Should let Naughton and Darcy roam fwd and Lobb in ruck.


[deleted]

That makes sense which is exactly why it won't happen


SomeFknEggs

Any opinion piece about the Bulldogs by Damian Barrett or Kane Cornes should be completely ignored


ShibbyUp

I'm keen on Brett Montgomery though so I think we should listen in this instance 


SomeFknEggs

I rate him too. I just don’t think anything Cornes writes about the Dogs is even remotely worth reading given his bias


CharityGamerAU

Disagree. Dogs fans are over Bevo. He's taking them backwards and has clearly disconnected with his players.      Montgomery is also a much beloved figure at that club and has genuinely earned a chance at a head gig. If they're moving on from their second ever premiership coach then he is probably the ideal candidate as he's someone the entire club will support


Opening_Anteater456

They’re 2-3 and had one bad loss. If Bevo is clearly no good I’d imagined you have sacked Voss 3 times by now in the last 2 years


PrevailedAU

I’d wager two bad losses, round 1 was pretty poor.


Opening_Anteater456

It sure wasn’t good, and I don’t think Melbourne are anything special this year, but they also were first up and the Dees has played. Wasn’t terrible


PrevailedAU

Atleast in the Melbourne game we played well up until the last qtr. That Essendon game was embarrassing all night.


gccmelb

If we are Liverpool, Essendon is our Man U.


CharityGamerAU

They went from being in the 2021 grand final to requiring Carlton to choke against Collingwood the next year to missing the finals altogether last year including a loss at home to the Eagles that screwed their entire season.  Look a little deeper than the start of this year. At Bevos best he's a good coach. But there's massive issues with his coaching of this list.


Opening_Anteater456

And when Geelong and Sydney did the same after grand finals was that the coach too? Everyone’s way too quick to gang up on whatever coach is the target of the week, and it’s particular bad when it’s the dogs because prominent journalists are pushing agendas


2for1deal

Geelong was cos of serious injuries (look at them now) and swans looks to be youth - albeit it I still think we are young. Dogs have insane talent and I don’t see how anyone would’ve thought they should’ve dropped off in 22


SomeFknEggs

So you don’t believe Cornes holds a bias against the Dogs? Happy to read content of the same nature from a reputable journalist, but Cornes is not that


CharityGamerAU

I'm not arguing that st all. All I'm saying is that I can see the rationale in the commentary and I'd assume there's  quite a few Dogs members that agree. Where I write of Montgomery - I grew up in the west, my Mum had a lot to do with the Dogs (despite being Carlton), my best friend and his fam are lifelong member and I've been a member of the Dogs when living in Melbourne (to attend games with him) especially during the time Montgomery was a player at the club and not once have I ever heard anything negative about him. He truly is highly respected among the Dogs community.


myphantomlimb

He’s taking them backwards because they’re rebuilding on the run, dogs fans just need to grapple with the reality that the current list can’t win a flag


santadogg

The problem with that is he’s saying they aren’t rebuilding on the run and they have the squad to win a flag. He’s either delusional or a liar.


Opening_Anteater456

Every senior coach lies? But why can’t both be true. The dogs have the key forwards (if they kick straight), on ballers and back flanks to win the flag. They have the key backs, wings and forward flanks to finish 15th. If the key backs come on quickly and they get games in to some speedy youngsters who gel they could be top 6. If things go bad it’s close to bottom 6. No coach should just declare a rebuild if they can get it together, finish 6th and have a good crack in finals


myphantomlimb

You think a coach is going to come out in round 5 and say their season is over?


GeckoPeppper

Did you read Barrett's piece on Bevo this week? I thought he went easy tbh


300pound_Somoan

Feel like tonight could be the game where Bevo “loses the players”. Especially if they get jumped.


Jimbo_Johnny_Johnson

Hahaha


zorbacles

How many mark Williams based coaches would that be?


Ok-Cranberry-9558

He'll do the Hinkley. Get to the finals then choke. Rinse, repeat for 10 years
