No I hadn’t heard anything. I reckon twitter went early. Saw two tweets from legit accounts saying a mutual parting of ways.
Neither tweet now accessible
I was skeptical but the trade requests and Bont scuttlebut was lending weight.

the media would be all over this if it was true. He’ll coach again next year.

That could be a good option for him. Sorta get the feeling his time may be up at the Kennel. Some coaches get the most out of their players, but have a use by date as a result of the methods they use ( Eade, Barassi, Parkin, Hafey). To be fair, its all the more impressive that men like Sheedy/Jeans/Longmire were able to stay at it so long

I reckon Bev is one of the luckier coaches out there. Hes got a great list and 2016 was an absolute miracle. Since then, with the list he has, hes absolutely underachieved. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt return to footy once his time at the Dogs is done.

The talent dogs have in some spots is unreal. Particularly their father sons. Wonder what another coach could do with it. Give bevvo 5 more year for mine
Footscray has been in a few Finals since 2016, IIRC, once as runner up. It hasn’t always limped in as the easy beat from 8th.
Since 2016, they’ve only won finals in 2021 (when they made the GF).
The seven other seasons, they’ve either missed finals or been knocked out first week.

Would that mean there are a number of current players with Finals experience and the hurt from being in the losing GF side as a driver to achieve more?
Bevo with too much power
Winning the flag in 2016 has brought him time other wise Beveridge would have been sacked already.
