Coach Future of the club (Bevo, board, assistant coaches, football department)

[BulldogMuscle]

I’m am avid fan of Bevo, but if it is true (a big if) bont has lost faith it’s over. All speculation of course as he seems to be coaching well this year with injuries, but in Bont we trust. And if he thinks we need a change, I’d back his judgement. But a big unfounded if.

If Bont at any point wants a change in coach, we grant it. Specially in a contract year for both.
Depending on who we can get to replace Bevo, I'm starting to think that it's time to do it, not really sure if he has it in him for another push into finals.

Agree, not many players deserve that level of power to influence who coaches or not, but the Bont does. He knows and sees more than us all and has the perspective and judgment I trust. I’d also guess that if bevo knew he had lost the bonts faith, he’d step aside.

Time will tell.

Off topic from the current conversation but still Bulldogs related.

For those of you who remember Nigel Kellett, who we know has CTE, is quite unwell and in a bad state. The CTE has progressed to the point of dementia type symptoms (not recognising family/freinds) and may not have long to go.

A close friend of his and acquaintance of mine, who went to school with Nigel, told me this via sms.

Hope Nigel can pull through but not looking good now.

Unfortunately Bont loves Bevo. He wants him to stay.

In what sense is one of the best players in the comp, and our captain, loving his coach unfortunate?

With incomplete information you know better than Bont?

Hard to know without being in the box, but to the naked eye there weren't enough moves made to stem the avalanche of goals, but at the same time where the hell is the leadership on field to do the same. It can't all be on bevo, surely some of the experienced players can stand up and do something. Put yourself behind the ball, close down their damaging players, it feels to me we are bereft of leadership.

Think the core problem is we are lacking some class to put the finish on and kick the key goals when we create the opportunities. We had a few chances that could of put the brakes on their charge.
Probably the key difference when they had the chance they nailed the goals and we came up short.

we have to figure out what to do with the backline.

Lobb-Jones-JoD is a bad fit. Buku is preferred but is really just a better Gardner - does one thing.

Both trios leave us very exposed at ground level (look at the hawks final…). But you could put in Busslinger or Gardner…same would apply.

So there’s a need for that 3rd tall/hybrid defender, Coffield was a Hail Mary. There’s also the Doc replacement issue.

Lobb and Jones are a bit of a wall in the air but we are massively susceptible at ground level.

Bevos beloved high press also leaves us completely exposed way too often for little gain.
