Bevan

[connolly]

My point is that it's crap footy not worthy of an AFL player, whomever does it. We were cataloguing the goals Bevo cost us and it seemed only appropriate to include the one he missed as well as those he bestowed.

And no doubt this absurd calculation will be done for all the players? Presumably you would only be happy when the opposition kicks a zero score and we never miss. Disney On Ice stuff.

[connolly]

They don't, actually. It's firstly a very small sample, and secondly his average of 55% is actually below the team average over the past decade of 57.7% to 63.9%.

At least I actually have some basis in reality for my stance.

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.

[Bloody Hell]

You're all sticking the boot in now...

How things change!

I don't think there's much difference between the threads.

I still think Bevan is a very average player who will never have a 3 vote Brownlow game, but who will have many shockers. His downside is greater than his upside.

I think in the end he'll go the way Ablett has.

Just from browsing a few pages in the old thread, it seems he's getting much less support in this one. Don't have the official stats, though.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

So you are want to regugitate that heap?

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 today.

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

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.

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,

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.

You've sniped and rubbished your fair share.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

[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....

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

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.
