    Great argument. "You don't agree with me so you don't know what you are talking about."

      He is a good player who does amazing things - at times. He also can play fairly low down the rankings, but have you seen some of goodsey's clangers!! dives!! playing for frees!!! missed marks!!! pained facial expressions when he thinks the ump has done him wrong?

      Have you EVER seen Bevo stage? Protest? Pull faces? Argue? No you have not. He doesn't have much going for him in the razzledazzle stakes, but the odd workhorse in our team is worth having in the mix.

          i think he would have been on the verge of being traded until this season, where he actually stood up. Before then he was a make up the numebrs, nice back up so to speak, sort of player. Now, based on last season, i think he cemented his starting position, and hopefully can continue with that form this year.

            This.

            (... and you know I lurv to bag Bevo, just for the hell of it !!)
            Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

              He was dropped after playing one of his best games for the club, being one of the most important players on the ground in a final. No wonder the poor guy was confused. I was too.
              My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

                And this.

                (Yes, I can't believe it too.)

                You're right Prims. He's never chucked a spaz. He is also quick to pick himself up after a clanger (i.e. not dwell on it) and go straight back in.
                Everyone finds their "footy brain" at a different time in their career. We live in hope that they find it early (aka Goodesy, Hanners, Jets, TDL, et al), and keep it up, or find it a little later and become a star of the team. Hope Bevo shines this year. I've ordered the big mac ... I'm holding off on the fries for now!!

                  Was calling the WAFL match between Perth and Swan Districts today and Bevo was involved in a collision that could best be described as a truck crash.
                  Remember Nick Riewoldt's mark against us at the SCG a few years ago? Or any of Jonathon Brown's crazy grabs?
                  Picture three players doing exactly that at exactly the same time from three directions. Unbelievable courage from all three, and certainly what we came to expect from Bevo.

                  Anyway, Bevo was sandwiched in midair and came off third best, being stretchered off the ground and taken to hospital with what is being reported as anything from concussion to a suspected spinal injury. Fingers crossed it's nowhere near as serious as that and best wishes to him for a full and quick recovery.

                  But of more concern for Perth will be star recruit Paul Bevan going to hospital with a suspected spinal injury after a heavy collision involving Ames and Perth teammate Matt Tedesco midway through the third quarter.
                  SWAN Districts' dynamic forward duo of Ash Hansen and Murray Newman put Perth to the sword as the black-and-whites earned a 46-point win at Brownes Stadium.


                  The game exploded in the third term, where there were 13 goals kicked, several off-the-ball scuffles and a potentially serious head injury to the Demons ex- Sydney premiership player Paul Bevan

                    That does not sound good. Fingers crossed that Bevo is ok!

                      I was just thinking of Bevo yesterday as I watched Dylan Addison play. Terrible news, I hope he's okay.
                      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 time

                        That's terrible news. Bevan was always one of my favourites. It appears his courage lives on in the WAFL. Hopefully it's not as serious as first thought

                          Keep us posted Beemmer; that's just such a classic Bevo thing to do, and I do hope he is ok. Please let us know?

                              The news is not as bad as first thought - no spinal injury, but it is a broken jaw. I suppose we can say that's good news, compared to what it could have been. Get well soon Bevo.


                              Mixed luck for old rivals - The West Australian

                              But Demon Paul Bevan, a member of Sydney?s ?05 grand final win against the Eagles, went to hospital for scans after a heavy collision with black and whites full-back ?Tallan Ames and teammate Matt Tedesco in the third quarter.
                              It was initially thought Bevan had suffered a spinal injury but a relieved Perth coach Damian McMahon said last night Bevan had been cleared of a serious injury.
                              But he would have surgery for a broken jaw this morning.

                                What a relief. He's tough so hopefully back on the park quickly. Thanks for posting BMR.
