Bevan - where is he

[Nico]

The trouble with Bevo & Moore is we have them both when one is more than enough. Against Carlton he did have a good game and but gees he was pretty ordinary every other game he played. Moore did show a bit more in 2010 but pretty marginal call. Can we trade them both for one more McGlynn?

I thought Bevo played a lot better than Moore who likes like he trains on a diet of beer and Pizzas, and plays like it with a devastating lack of pace.

Bevan - where is he.

Ask Connolly.

Hang on a sec. Where is Connolly?

I was a knocker of Bevo a few years back, but he redeemed himself in my eyes somewhat with some good footy, and by geez he is a better footballer than the lauded one, by many on here, who goes by the name of Moore. His finals game against Carlton was testimony to that and he is a far more versatile and genuine footballer than the aforementioned. To see Harbrow running off Moore as he pleased and knowing that Bevo was sitting in the stands was gut wrenching to say the least. Bevan would have at least made Harbrow accountable and may have been good for a couple of goals. (how much did we get done by?)

The sheep on this forum either didn't watch many games last season, or refuse to acknowledge his efforts for fear of being singled out by some of the football ignoramuses on this site (Mcveigh is another victim of this syndrome)

No one that I can see has ever had a go at Bevans desire or effort and I have said in previous threads that he was less crap than usual this year. However he is an average AFL footballer at best and is not in our best 22. He will need a lot of injuries for him to play seniors this year. This is a view held by a lot of supporters and not just the "ignorant" on RWO as you so crassly put it. Remember just because people don't have the same view as you does not make them ignorant.

Just wrong.

I'm with Nico on this. Bevan makes a lot of mistakes because he gets to places - but he is a straight kick for goal and can play either end or even in the middle. Moore is a one dimensional one paced forward pocket. Moore is rarely in the place you hope him to be in let alone the place you need him.

the idea that he is some amazing star or the glue that holds the forward line togather because he points and waves a lot just mystifies me. my clear recollection was of a very similar situation at the bigger subiaco where we won (but that was despite him not because of him as those who try to give you a statistical guide to his performance think) against freo.

The selection was unfathomable to me at the time, but then I've watched the australian cricket team this summer so unfathomable selections are something i'm getting used to.

I'm not suggesting he is a star, he is a trier who is on the fringe of the best 22. If you re-read the posts in this thread though you'll find he is treated extremely harshly. He was one of our best in the Carlton final and was extremely unlucky to be dropped for the doggies game. He would have been more effective than some of the underperformers that night.

Harbrow has made alot better players then Jarred Moore look bad..............the guy is a pin ball wizard !!

zip zip man.......

but anyway back to teh post re Bevo............every top 4 team needs guys like Bevo on the fringe so that multiple roles can be filled in when the top 18 or so are injured etc

Bevo usually does that very well relative to what is expected of a non starting player in a solid side........

Amen, the rest of the snide comments hopefully are just jokes

[reigning premier]

I thought Mooore was genuinely better in 2010 than Bevan.

In 2009, it was the other way around. Bevan was all over Moore.

Probably why it's so hard to split them.

Spot on! The selectors self congratulation just tops it all off!

On paper they were close in 2010.
Bevan:


* Dream Team (DT) and Supercoach (SC) stats only include regular season. GA - Goal Assists, I50 - Inside 50s, GC - Goals Contributed (G + GA)

Moore:

I agree, Bevo should have played as his form was better than Moore's. I believe Reid should have played that game & he could have been the difference. Bevo is good forward, it is in the backline that he makes his major stuff ups & mainly due to the pressure from opposition mid fielders. Our midfield hasn't exactly been winning any awards for defensive work or clearances lately, better last year than in 2009 but still below standard. If you look at our defence, Shaw stuffs up regularly (probably play forward a lot more), Mattner stuffs up regularly & Teddy stuffs up regularly when there. I think Teddy will finish his career forward the same as Bevo.

Moore's goal return is very poor for a small forward. Bevo had more shots for 1 goal less & he played mainly in the backline, that says it all really.

[reigning premier]

Bevan had less tackles and gave away more frees and played mainly in the backline. Says it all really.
