The mark he took from ROK's long kick in his "Andy Worhol game", the 05 SF, was against two opponents. You keep harping back to that game often enough I'm surprised you've forgotten!"As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

It was a running chest mark against the softest defender playing in that match Steve Johnstone. Appreciated the mark but it was hardly John Coleman.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

connolly- you have probably added the most posts to this thread and they have been negative, petty snipes- don't you think that is a sad way to spend your retirement?
Perhaps you should, god forbid, take a lesson from one Nick Davis and show a bit of maturity and class.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 timeComment

1. roving a ball up
2. losing his opponent
3. getting himself to the place to where the ball was tapped
4. kicking the goal with his non-preferred foot despite not taking clean possession
5. with seconds to go
6. in an elimination final.
As a matter of fact, I can't recall Kirk doing it either. So what?Comment

Or another way of looking at it over the past 5 years:
Swans with Nick Davis = 4 flags
Swans without Nick Davis = 3 flags
Swans with Paul Bevan = 4 flags
Swans without Paul Bevan = 4 flagsCaptain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I'm not sure that I can. Neither can I recall Bevan:
1. roving a ball up
2. losing his opponent
3. getting himself to the place to where the ball was tapped
4. kicking the goal with his non-preferred foot despite not taking clean possession
5. with seconds to go
6. in an elimination final.

Don't think I have heard any one say that about Bevan!!Swannies for life!Comment

i cant recall a swans contested mark in the last 5 years.
this myth davis played one game @@@@s me, here are his top rated games the semi final is only the 15th best, you will note a few of his best are early 2006, makes you wonder why he was dropped that year, given the start to his season. If we are going to keep bringing bevan up as someone here does, how many games has he played that come close to any on this list, yet he is still given chance after chance, if davis was not dropped at random over the last couple of years i think he would be a different player right now. (that table is awful to look at heres the link Nick Davis All AFL Statistics - FinalSiren.com

Davis being dropped in 2006 was always amazing. He wasn't playing so badly and he had no premiership credits, despite being one of the ones who deserved them the most, while Roos was out talking up premiership credits for the next couple of years on some other underperforming players.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

The most recent comment I recall reading about Bevan was the Herald Sun match report of the second final, which described him as a "dream match-up" for his opponent and talked about him being totally outpaced and outclassed - just what you want from a tagger. \o/Comment
