    If I was the club, I’d look at rebuilding with a new coach with Smith & English going to help bring in some talent.

    At years end. We need to back Bevo in long term or get a new voice, new ideas for the rebuild/refresh. There’s just no consistency in this group to think the ship will right itself.

    How?s this playing out? Coach under pressure for another week. Excuses given. Players back up the coach. Probably beat Carlton next week. All is forgiven.

    He’s not going.

    Will see out the contract no matter how many years are wasted.

    But you're kinda blaming the players so same thing.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Really? All of it? The whole shit show? I think if we are considering who to blame we need to consider the season as a whole. Another year at 10-12 ok for you?
