Bevan

[Lucky Knickers]

With the exception of that errant handball that led to Hansen's goal, I thought Bevo had a very good last quarter.

As opposed to your stance on Crouch, which has been harsher than anything most people have had to say about Bevan? You are one of the last people to be in a position to complain about sniping.

Most players give their all. Some have more to give than others. If a player has had plenty of opportunites and just isn't cutting it, then it's time to give others a go.

Crouch at this stage of his career, which is actually his last year and the club at this stage of its team development should not bew playing Crouch or a player like him. He is and has been a negative stopper, rarely runs the lines, is an atrocious kick and can't mark overhead. If he was a creative player like Kirk, MOL or Big Beamish the arguement doesn't apply. I don't believe the club should have given contracts to Barry or Crouch. Crouch did his job well enough for a number of seasons. Now he is a selfish individual who plays injured and past it. He is keeping a young kid such as O'Dwyer or O'Keefe off the paddock and stopping them from showing their potential. I don't blame Crouch alone. Also blame the selectors and Roos.

Bevan however has been making the same mistakes year after year and has shown little improvement in other parts of his game to make up for the mistakes he makes. He is 25 now, not a "kid" Connolly,

He was a Rising Star nomination in his first year. He came equal sixth in our Best and Fairest last season. That either makes the coaching staff gooses or .

I can barely understand that, but if it still applies then there's nothing wrong with bringing up again. I'm just glad the drop Bevan bandwagon is feeling a little heavier at heart today.

P.S. Please don't mention Bevan with Hall again.

He beat his opponents, he closed down their most dangerous goal kicker and we won. And we did this with Bevo putting in a solid effort with Big Beamish to come back. Its awful.

[Bloody Hell]

You would swear Bevo was practicing witchcraft the way the angry mob is carrying on in this thread.

Might want to quote something if you're going to make such broad statements.

The truth must be that the angry mob is using Bevo as bait to lure Connolly from his lair.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves for using one of the Swans biggest hearts to carry out your desire to take on the wit of his most loyal supporter.

At 24 Bevo has plenty ahead of him and will become a leader as the old brigade vanish.

When you have to quote yourself to make your point you know you're in trouble. The first sentence is nonsense - literally making no sense.

[woo]

I'd say if we can trade Bevan at seasons end for a half eaten chicken sandwich, we've done pretty well for ourselves.

one of the funniest things I read today....

[Bob Neil]

So you are want to regugitate that heap? Incredible that after he plays his role by keeping Jones to no goals after halftime he and his football are denigrated. One things for sure is that he will be picked next week and the weeks after. What is it about some Bloods supporters that they turn on the players who give the most. Bevo, Hall???? What a strange mob we have become.

Exactly how many goals did Jones kick after Q2, Connolly?

Donners, beat me to the punch.

Just leave the shorts tugger alone for 8 games mate, thats all i ask. As for bevo, he's a blood, we all know it.

[Donners]

Last season his average was above most. Wait till the season finishes. What a strange supporter you are pal. Your stance as you put it consists entirely of sniping and rubbishing a young player who gives it his all. Big.

You've sniped and rubbished your fair share.

[swansrule100]

i think bevan is an average player but he does his job. I probably like him forward though, i think his pressure is good, just a bit careless sometimes which is more costly in defence, eg stupid high arm yesterday.

[Bleed Red Blood]

Connolly I agree with you about Bevan. I remember either last season or the season before on this site it was all about McHack and how terrible he was, well he has proved that to be wrong, and I think all the people who now put Bevan down are going to be made to look stupid as well. Okay he makes mistakes (as do the rest of the team) but hes a tough player and I certainly want him to stay a Swans player.

Yes, two years ago posters we're saying negative things about McVeigh. At that time he was 22 and playing as a tagger - Most we're suggesting an attacking role would improve McVeigh's game's, as that plays to his strengths, and when he was 'let off the leash' last year, so to speak, those we're proved to be good calls. He was never a tagger.
