Coach of the Year
Fantastic effort by Beverage, win lose or draw next week.
Team just keeps taking the game on.
Surely Footscray's success playing attractive football will sound the final death knell for Ross Lyon inspired game-plan.

Re: Coach of the Year
L. Beveridge, back to back.
Only a great coach could do what has been achieved by the Bullies this year. Wasn't that long ago many on this forum were deriding the Bulldogs as a basket case when Griffen waled out and they sacked their coach.
Then, along came Cool Hand Luke.

Fantastic effort by Beveridge. Without him they wouldn't have got there. I hope they steam roll the Swans.

Re: Coach of the Year
Bevo has done a great job...as has their recruiting guy who now has many years of making mainly very good calls and particularly with late picks and rookie picks which tend to be the picks that can elevate you into a good to great team. (ie You should get the first pick mainly right, but it is easy to miss badly on later picks).magnifisaint wrote:Fantastic effort by Beveridge. Without him they wouldn't have got there.

However Bevo has also gotten old players like Picken playing their best ever football., showing that even some older players can be improved.
Belief is a powerful beast.

Re: Coach of the Year
So Picken has only played well this year? Interesting observation??
He has certainly improved as a player, I think every player improves with experience every year until about 28-30yo
Physical capacity and reflexes start to diminish (on most) after that... And there is a gradual decline of they fall off the cliff.
You know your stuff SR, or at least you think you do.
Perhaps name the skill Picken has improved this year?

Re: Coach of the Year
Happy with Bevo.
BUT
Alistair Clarkson has won 4 flags and won coach of the year ZERO times.
So the award is C R A P.

Re: Coach of the Year
He used to have a punch on in most games, generally just to puff out his chest. Was the strongest player over the ball I've ever played against (intra) and it followed him.
I went to take a hanger on him from a kick in in 98ish, had the perfect sit, he pushed back so hard under the flight of the footy that he impeded my jump, and I kneed him in the lower back - at full revs, earlier than I wanted... and he didn't flinch, marked the footy from front position, played on and handballed 20 to someone on the fly!
Not sure he even noticed, I thought I'd broke my leg or did my knee!!!
He could play, no doubt! But as a coach, a bit of an A-hole. Had a bloke called Andrew Tarpey coach as coach after that, he was a nutcase. A fun three years!!

Re: Coach of the Year
Yeah he's come out of the Clarkson academy with a great understanding of zones and how to bring high velocity oppo teams to a grinding halt. Against us I noticed they always had numbers back on the halfback line which was so hard to get through and then ran it forward almost in a line rugby style. But it meant they lacked a forward focus and weren't scoring a lot. But with Boyd and Roughhead coming on they seem to have a good forward focal point now. But I still worry about their ability to score.chook23 wrote:actually he coaches alot like Lyon did during our 2009-10 periodwhiskers3614 wrote:Fantastic effort by Beverage, win lose or draw next week.

Did we interview Beveridge after we sacked Watters? If not, why not? Bevo described the prelim game as "like a game of chess". Thats the tactical/strategic level you need a coach to be able to operate at - and able to do it on the fly in game. I'm hopirng Richo has that tactical level of smarts and isn't another GT - a great developer of young talent and getting them to believe in themselves and bond closely - but lacking the tactical smarts and getting out-maneuvered on the field.
How you could let Swans run over us like that in the prelim and just kick goal after goal when we had a strong lead still beggers belief. Lyon was shocked when he was told by players that we had no real defensive system to speak of.
Re: Coach of the Year
Bevo great coach
AR also a great coach
Very different in the way they build rapport
Bevo builds close bonds gets close to the players - they love him
AR is very fatherley - they respect him

Clearly it cannot be I, as I never wrote any such thing. Or are you just rolling out the BigMart 101 again of misdirection and imagined arguments?

Bevo has made most of his players better players. Stringer was the odd man out for awhile and I suspect in part as he was probably too much into individual rather than team play. And being "better" is many things, but a key part is doing all the team things better..
In the dying moments of the Cats v Hawks game Motlop almost lost the game for the Cats twice as he went for the freakish individual goals rather than the team thing of just icing the ball to keep the Hawks from getting control of the ball in the dying moments. It was pure luck that he did not lose the game for the Cats as Smith missed what for him would normally have been an easy shot.
