AFL: Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge fronts the media after the Western Bulldogs' loss to Hawthorn.
Are the Dogs actually any good? Is premiership coach Luke Beveridge the right man to lead them forward?takes a deep dive into the glaring issues at the Kennel and where to next for Luke Beveridge ’s troops.
“I’m a massive Bevo fan, I feel like I say this week after week, I stick up for him, what he’s done for that football club, he’s got a 60% win-loss rate, he’s taken them to two grand finals and he won them a premiership, that is bloody hard to do,” King said. “If he’s still got the energy and desire to coach this team, I don’t think they’ll sack him,” Montagna said.
“But sometimes you can be blinded by being involved day-to-day, thinking that the next game is going to solve all the issues that are currently going on. Sometimes it’s a clearer picture looking from the outside looking in.” “It’s a lot easier to change the coach because that’s one position, rather than change the whole list over because you’ve only got so many decisions that you’re allowed to make.
In other words, has the premiership coach tried everything he can with this group of players, and do they need a fresh start?“Has Luke Beveridge maximised what he had at his disposals and got everything possible out of this group and rewarded this football club with a premiership and been a big part of that, maybe he has,” Lewis said.The Bulldogs have made a habit of teasing the absolute best, but failing to deliver week in, week out.
“I think it’s that middle tier to lower bracket, the inconsistencies with those two groups are for me the reason why their football and performance have been inconsistent.Lewis said it’s time for the leaders at the Bulldogs to draw a line in the sand. Enough is enough. Prized draft pick Ryley Sanders had another strong VFL outing on the weekend, racking up 27 touches and ten tackles.Defender Jedd Busslinger is yet to see any AFL action, while Charlie Clarke has played just one match since being drafted at the end of 2022.
“The level of frustration with him and Jamarra Ugle-Hagan to a lesser extent is that they go through long periods of a game where they’re not involved. “It was a one-man war against Hawthorn, I felt sorry for him that he couldn’t get them over the line.”“He can’t do any more than he’s doing, he’s an absolute star,” Lewis said.Tom Liberatore tries his heart out every week, while there’s been some serious improvement from the likes of Sam Darcy and Cody Weightman.
