    Sounds like Connolly wrote it.

    I like this move - could work out well.

    Plus it means the death of Bevo 'the quarterback', something we'll all be thankful for.

    I'd hate to see him used there at the expense of finding a spot for Rohan or Jetta (no offence to Bevo).
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    I agree, both seem to have so much more to offer than Bevan, I think his days as a Swan, playing seniors, may be numbered.

    Jetta, not so much. If Louis III does find a spot in the team, it should be in the midfield and not pigeonholed as a crumbing forward. Bevan would be fighting with the likes of Rohan, Moore, Veszpremi for a defensive forward spot.

    Given his age and growth Rohan is starting to look less like a small forward and more like a KPP.
    And Bevan's defensive pressure in the F50 is very strong. He will take some dislodging - all good for us.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Bevan looks good so far in the forward line so far.

    I thought he did a well worked job in the forward line and I liked it a lot. A few hiccups, but all I have to think of is MickyO 2005 GF....they are not all brilliant all the time! He is hard, seasoned, and when confident he is an accurate kick. The boys respect him. Good enough for me. Whoohoo!!

    Bevo was fantastic against Saints. That mark over his shoulder in the first quarter was one of the game highlights. A bit lucky with the shoveout later on - if BBBH had done that he'd have been pinged.

    I love his aggression at the ball. He'd have to be unlucky not to play in round 1.

    I picked that up as well, how many minutes did he get in 2005???? Anywooos, been thinking for a while Bevo would work well as a forward, provides that hardness at the contested footy, super important for us given our delivery forward often leaves a lot to be desired.
