Luke Beveridge - Director of Coaching

[R. Harvey 3 votes!]

Bevo was a saints supporter as a kid and has a fair bit of coaching experience now so this is a great appointment.

[The Redeemer]

Cant believe he has come to us when he lives in east bentleigh nd has to travel to seaford. Must know we are moving back to Moorabbin. Goos appointment. Good bloke and very serious footy person.

If we move back to Moorabbin I will just about cancel my Membership as wtf is going on?

[bobmurray]

I don't really know what a DoC does but i hope it's another appointment that benefits the club. Maybe it pushes Pelchen a bit more into the background ?

How many people is Finnis allowed to bring into the organisation, the club must have more money than we thought.

I don't really know what a DoC does

He points the coaching staff towards the box, then fetches Pelchens california rolls. May also be required to hose out the coaches box after the game.

I thought he might instruct the Assistant coaches not put the numbered witches hats out in numerical order but to mix them up a bit, create a bit of uncertainty.

I'm pretty sure that the Director of Assistant Coaches performs that task.

I like the sound of this appointment.

Comes directly from strong club with premiership credentials, but unassailable personal links to our heritage.

I don't think he played in the 1997 grand final, but can't for the life of me remember why. Others might.

Will be interesting to see how he, Richo and the Pelican line up in the box on match days.

Because he was no good would be the first reason given.

played 7 games in 97 collecting 34 disposals ! probably not the return alves was after .
96 and 98 he was ok but his 99 was as bad as 97 so he got the chop .

[magnifisaint]

Wasn't a bad player. Was a neat finisher and played 118 AFL games.

Worked at Pies in 2010 flag year
Hawks 2013 flag year.

Id call that outstanding experience.

Bevo should have spoken to Scott Watters before taking the job.

He would have found out how much of a bad organisation we are.

Richo too.

Matt Finnis as well.

They really should have spoken to Scotty. He would have told them what great clubs do and don't do.

The drink, I reckon he played a good last game for us. We had a suprise win against WeSt Coast at the WACA in round 22, I have a feeling he might have dominated. He was crying on the ground at the final siren, wasn't known to the media that he was told he would be delisted at years end

21 touches and 3 goals that night. Probably his best game for us.

Our current Director of Coaching is Neville Oliver Boddie. Many other clubs have very successful Coach Directors. Their job is to sit in the box on game day and be in constant contact with the TV Director so that he can direct our coach's performance. Here are a few examples:

“OK Chris (could be Brad), we'll be coming to you in a moment. Even if our player has pulled his opponent's head off and broken his leg, I want a look of absolute amazement as the free is paid, especially with that hands in the air flair you are so good at. Cue Brad (could be Chris)"

" OK Michael, now get prepared to take that look of benign indifference off your face, we will coming to you in moment and want a lot of yelling, jumping up and down and throwing of the phone into the wall. OK, here we come, our player has just adjusted his shorts. Cue Michael".

“OK Ross, the droll approach has been going over quite well, but this time, can be have a “FFS” as well? Cue Ross.”

More money or more debt?

We just need more sponsors and members to pay for The Beveridge.

His role is much more senior than Peta's. What's your point?

why does it not surprise me that someone with cairnsman's mentality is from cairns?

Didn't Luke originally get a game with us because his old man John was our recruiting officer, and he asked the club to give him a go? ( seem to remember reading that somewhere)
Battler as a player, but he always gave 100%, personally I'm glad to see him with us, was told that he loves the club.

Welcome back aboard!

Don't think my memory is that bad. His father was the recruiting officer at the Saints at the end of 1995 season.
We recruited Luke then , and I'm 99% sure that John suggested he was available From the Dogs, John did absolve himself from the panel selecting his own son. I'm sure thre was an article in the papers about it?

You said he got a game because Bevo senior was the recruiting man. Im 100% disagreeing with that. He may have said he was available but im sure the saints knew that anyway.

Welcome back Con.
I would like you to stay around. Please try to steer away from personal comments.
