Paul Bevan - 100 games

[BeeEmmAre]

Highest congratulations to the ex-Daysdale junior (yes, before Wests).
Reward for great courage.

2004 against Essendon at MCG.

I was going to Alaska so decided to fly out of Melbourne so I could go to that game (Syd/Mel/LAX was same price as Syd/LAX). Bevan was outstanding that game, probably one of his best.

That was the 'one of the worst free kicks ever' against B2 to Dean Solomon game when we were coming home over the top of them. Killed all momentum.

What are your favourite Bevan memories?

His cameo roles in the forward line where he's kicked a few goals.

I was waiting for connolly to start this thread but I cannot wait any longer. (Has there been a falling out connolly?)

Congrats to Bevo, battled his way off the rookie list and is a solid contributor to our side.

What are your favourite Bevan memories?

No falling out champ. There are so many on the Bevowagon these days its hard to get on with the concession card. Favourite memories? Jeez it has to be the mark at the death against Freo last year. Into the pack with sure hands and a big heart. Good on you Bevo hope you get another ton son.

So its true . Well done Bevo, not bad for Leagie

Congratulations to Paul Bevan on his century.

He has turned from a maligned player into a couragous and reliable player.

Congrats on making the 100, hopefully he has a good game not some of the stinkers he's endured over the past month or early in his career.

[Blood]

He can be hot and cold but i don't think he deserves the criticism he cops from some. Always plays with a tonne of heart.

Onya Bevo!!

[Primmy]

His ability to make a flying tackle or a backward leaping mark when we need it the most, get up and get on with it, never expecting any cudos from anyone. Quiet courage. He is a gem. Not perhaps a diamond, but a gem nonetheless, and he should be valued as such.

Mostly cold today.

Pretty ordinary today. Had a lot of mates. But very poor defensive effort against Williams for the critical goal.

[satchmopugdog]

I wish we had Williams as our 4th option at goal. I wish we had him as our 1st option at goal. He has got more talent in his little finger that half our team added together. He, Chance Bateman and Rioli are the only Hawks players I would cross the road to go and see..and that after vomiting at the thought of paying money to watch those arrogant,egotistical Vicentric Hawks ponce around.

If you are going to be an obsessive at least try (like poor old bear) and be interesting. Bevo actually spoiled Williams, from a difficult position. The kick was a floater and Bevo was caught on the wrong side of the drift (is this getting too technical for you?) and he was forced to spoil a ball that was falling away on his left. By the way he was correctly positioned goalside and intially moving back towards the gaolsquare for either a pack mark or a front and centre crumb( still with me??) The free kick was highly technical and inconsistent (outrageously so) given the scragging, pushing, holding that Big Beamish had been subjected to on our forward line. The kid done OK. Lost you? Thought so.

We used to have a player like that.

Surely you can do better than that? That is ridiculous.

Bevan lost contact with his player.
Watching the ball only he ran toward Williams.
Williams cleverly moved back toward Bevan and upset Bevan's run, and then turned to mark the ball.
Bevan, completely outpositioned, grabbed Williams around the neck.

Terrible defensive play and a blatant free kick.
