Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon! -
I thought he was poor.
He started on Johnson and was moved after Johnson tore him apart, yet he only kicked 3? behinds. Bevan was actually moved onto him to stop the haemorrhaging. Unfortunately for Bevan, Johnson stayed on fire AND found his kicking boots at the same time.
I was trying to confirm on the replay that it was actually Bolton, not Bevan, that Stokes wheeled away from playing on in the 3rd quarter for one of his goals, but I am prepared to concede I am wrong on that one.
Bolton gave away an awful free which led to a goal in the last (?) quarter when he dummied a handball to Kirk and was caught holding the ball.
All that said, I am NOT calling for his demotion, but agree with the early poster that he had a shocker.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

Johnson started with a bang early, but was helped by fantastic delivery. The move was made FAR too prematurely, and as soon as Bolton was put back on Johnson, not a peep was heard. He did get caught holding the ball. That was one blunder. That does not make his game a shocker. He did not concede a goal to any of his direct opponents while he was actually playing on them. That far outweighs a conceded HTB and possibly being outmanoeuvred at ground level by a guy half his size.Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Don't need to, someone else saw them all too.
Too often we see an opposition small forward running away to kick a goal unopposed, then when you wonder who is on him, you see Bevan either standing by himself, or running along 5-10 metres behind him.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

He's lasted this long against all logic, so goodness knows what it will take for him to be axed.Comment

I really did feel sorry for him watching the game yesterday, I can't recall a backman having such a consistent shocker against multiple opponents in a long time. It happens, mistakes in the defensive 50 are always going to be amplified and you'll look like more of a goose.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

Please! The guy has one bad game, and he's got to go!Comment

lol, nice cop out, didn't think you'd have the kahoonas.
Do I really need to point out that because the opponent/s he was on kick 7 goals, it doesn't equate to him 'costing us 7 goals'?
Do you blame him when he was taken out, perfectly legally I may add, by a beautiful Rooke bump giving Johnson the necessary space to steady and goal? Is that one of the 7 goals he cost us?
Do you really blame him when Johnson slipped/ducked/dropped his knees and Bevan collected him high, as 100% of players would have? It was impossible to avoid and that was one time Bevan was absolutely on his hammer and Johnson had nowhere to go. Is that another of the 7 goals that Bevan 'personally' cost us?
I'm not suggesting Bevan had anything but a shocker, but to say he personally cost us 7 goals is wrong and to say that he personally costs us 2/3 goals every week is just complete garbage.
GS14, you have taken it upon yourself to play the role of the anti-connolly. For every outrageous pro-Bevan post that connolly makes, you now need to post an equally outrageous view of the other extreme.
The difference is, everybody but newbies who don't know the connolly history and a couple of 16yo's who aren't worldly enough to understand 'taking the piss' realise that connolly is doing just that, 'taking the piss'.
Oh sure, he likes Bevan, but even he would have a chuckle at some of the Bevan dribble he writes in the name of keeping the charade going.Driver of the Dan Hannebery bandwagon....all aboard. 4th April 09Comment

The people suggesting "one bad game" need to get a GRIP. he was DESTROYED by the Hawthorn small forwards, then he was slaughtered be Betts and co, then he was DESTROYED by the Richmond small forwards...and that's the games we won!!! I haven't seen the Freo and Brisbane games, but geez he has lost against every single opponent this year (plus the Saints, of course) of the games I have seen. That's at least ten players who have pantsed him. We have to find a more talented player to play on these guys. end of story. Throw in Gilchrist or Laidlaw or ANYBODY with a modicum of speed and talent and see if they show something. Maybe O'Dwyer could be trained...not a great kick...but reasonably quick and not stupid. Same for Smith. Laidlaw IS quick and a thumping kick....PUT HIM IN!!!"I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

Maybe that is because Bevan's ideal position isn't defending against small, ultra-quick small forwards. He's being asked to do the role because the only other player in the entire squad capable is injured. It is a glaring hole in the list balance, made worse by the fact that Crouch isn't going to be around for much longer, and is no longer as quick as he used to be.
(BTW, he wasn't exactly "pantsed" by Betts. He held him well in the first half of that game - Betts barely touched the ball- before being beaten, but hardly humiliated, in the second half.)Comment

We all know Bevo had a shocker, from the openning bounce to the final siren. He's also had some good moments this year. My question is why wasn't he moved away from defence. Yes 'the pine' would of been an alluring option, or why not up forward. There was very little going on up there he could stuff up. IMO, leaving him at the mercy of the Geelong forward line, all day, was poor coaching.Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MTComment

Well, I can reliably inform you that I have both played in and watched many more games than you.
Even the highlight (lowlight) package on the news showed #42 DIRECTLY costing various goals - monstered one on one in a marking contest, chasing his man crumming and running into an open goal (hardly in the picture), slipping over in a marking contest and allowing hs oppononet to run into an open goal uncontested... the list goes on. I reckon 7-8 goals is conservative.Last edited by Bear; 10 May 2009, 10:54 AM."As a player he simply should not have been able to do the things he did.

Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words.

5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.

If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder.
