With the 2024 season just around the corner, practice matches and selection calls incoming, there's plenty to dissect ahead of the first bounce of the ball.ย 

With this in mind, let's take a look at the coaches who are under the most pressure heading into the new season.

We have started with the coaches with the least amount of pressure, building up to the coaches with the most amount of pressure for the season ahead.

2. Luke Beveridge (Western Bulldogs)

Beveridge is at the start of another season where the pressure gauge is high and there is a great need for the Dogs to perform in 2024.

Since their 74-point Grand Final defeat in 2021, the Dogs have struggled with consistency,ย  failing to win a final in 2022 and then falling short of a top eight finish last year.

The Dogs have one of the strongest lists in the competition and at a time when they should be contending for a premiership, they are struggling with form.

Beveridge is still contracted at the club for 2025, however if the Dogs have another unsuccessful pressure is sure to mount.

The Dogs will have all eyes on them in the opening rounds with all the pressure mounting on Beveridge to get them off to a good start.
