    I understand your point however there was some weird coaching stuff for me.

    The Darcy thing at the first bounce just really bizarre.

    Freijah as sub, so just Bramble for half back run as Duryea is more lock down. Dale I forgot was out there tbh. He's not had a damaging season.

    Libba starting on a wing.

    No lockdown on Rozee who almost broke the world record for disposals in the first quarter.

    Not evening the numbers when the +1 in the midfield was a disaster. Port kept 6 defenders.

    Doing nothing to combat the short uncontested game they were playing.

    Not having Richards off half back when we had 0 run.

    It wasn't just these things, or just the players it was a complete all round shit show in the first quarter imo. especially.

    It does seem like another one will happen. I imagine most if not all clubs reviews their season but this one might need to be a more detailed than most.

    WCE have swung their axe.

    Are we into the time period where clubs feel that action isn?t rushed and irrational?

    Well WCE are already shopping and will have a time advantage on getting the best coach out there. If we thought we needed a new coach for the refresh/rebuild then we don’t want to wait too long.

    The club will be thinking we will be playing finals so we won’t be doing anything.

    We will finish 10th.

    I can’t imagine the club, outside Bevo and the players are looking at the run home and thinking we make it.

    Re: Sharp Axes

    Bevo is safe for next year I'd say at this point. We are there abouts.

    It's all dependant on the run home. If we fail miserably then that may change.

    I just wonder if West Coast will put the feelers out to see if he wants to have a chat?

    ...

    .

    Maybe it was a chance to test Darcy against Sweet a known quantity? Sweet is a physical ruckman with limited mobility. I still think we should have kept him.

    What gets me, is Tim's lack of aggression to assert his physical presence. If he could do that he would be the complete ruckman, like a Dean Cox type.

    I don't get it why we don't tag players like Rozee or Butters. They completely ripped us up in the first quarter.

    Actually it's the perfect time to him to leverage into a new role.
    Be an exciting opportunity for him.
    Youre probably right. I think he's pretty well respected in the footy community.

    I doubt the club wanted to get rid of him. Port clearly had more to offer him (potential opportunity, being back home, maybe a bit more money?)

    So you are saying Bevo gets another contract extension?
    More of an In Bruges guy?
