Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge says his bid to create more selection pressure for his senior players should not be confused with an attempt at a rebuild.
Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge has clarified how he views his side’s trajectory after an underwhelming start to the season.
“We’re ultra conservative … the interesting thing about Tom’s situation, to come in and pass the concussion test, totally lucid – everything was saying that he was OK, but ultimately there was an episode,” Beveridge said on Tuesday. “We can’t expect Tom to do what he does week-in, week-out, and leverage totally off his influence in the game. Our better performances this year have been really even,” he said.
“I’ve never been a coach who has tried to leverage for time – I’ve always been a coach for the now, and I believe in our group and trying to make every post a winner,” he said.
