Welcome aboard Luke, lead us unto the promised land.
Fingers crossed he doesn't get shafted like the last bloke.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Best of luck in the senior coaching game Luke - looking forward to going the journey with you. (Impressive presser.....).
Anyone can support a team that is winning, it takes no courage. But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you, that takes a lot of courage, so lets always be behind our boys and girls in red, white and blue.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Congrats Luke on your appointment. Looking forward to the journey and the success your tenure will bring to our beloved Bulldogs (no pressure).

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I was pretty underwhelmed when I heard Luke was the front runner for the job, but now he has the job he has my unconditional support. God luck Luke.
On a side note, a former player I know that played on him a few times said pound for pound he's the strongest player he ever played on. That can't be a bad thing.

He looks like a tough bastard.
From his presser, I like the cut of his jib.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Looks fit enough to still be playing!

I was kind of "meh" about him at first, until I read up on his achievements over the years. Very glad he was chosen.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
Good luck Luke.
I think some underrate his pedigree as a senior coach before coming into the AFL assistant coaching ranks. His C grade flag in the ammo's was about par with what B-Mac achieved as a senior coach, while his B grade flag put him a bit in front of it. Securing an A Grade flag on top of those two consecutively puts him miles ahead. It's one of if not the best competitions in the state aside from VFL, and he nailed it year on year.
Most of the favoured assistant coaches (when coaching jobs come up for grabs - Leon Cameron is a good example) don't have that sort of experience behind them.
I'm still in wait and see mode. So, I suppose I'll just wait and see how he goes.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I agree, one thing I can't understand is the actual level of VAFA they won at? When I played it was in divisions not grades, does the A grade title he speaks of equate to the Premiers division?
Good luck Luke, if anything it seems we've got ourselves a genuine bloke.

Yep, he needs a strong number 2 and a director of coaching or he'll struggle like the last bloke.
The curse is dead.

He looks like a legit 'ard bastard. I like it.
I hope he does well. I'm not concerned about him being untried at the top level. Diamonds have to come from the rough, maybe we'll be lucky enough to have the next Clarkson success story?
Anyway, I'm glad it's done and our club can focus on being a club again.

Re: Welcome to the Kennel, Mr Beveridge
I actually like the fact that he played for us for 3 seasons in the mid 90's.

Premier A
Premier B
Premier C
D1
D2
D3
D4
I should leave it alone but you're not right

He also made the Greek AFL Team of the Century. Maternal Grandfather is the connection.
