Re: Bevo...
I'm not a fan of Tom Morris, nor of most of the journos/commentators that work in the AFL industry and wish that FoxFooty would replace Garry Lyon, Jonathan Brown, Mark Robinson in particular with some fresh faces.
I like Bevo and was really disappointed when he was appointed coach of the Dogs instead of our footy club, that premiership trophy he won in 2016 could well have been in the Linton Street cabinet by now.
But irrespective of my distastes for the media I think that Luke Beveridge made a huge error of judgment in his tirade after the game last night, did he not realise that his actions would become a massive story that blows all the other news off the front pages, and be a considerable and unwanted distraction for himself, his players and his footy club?
You can bet your bottom dollar that the AFL is going to come down on him with a ton of bricks and he risks not only being fined but have the ignominy of being forced to make a grovelling apology. Some on this forum will disagree with this but like the new rule relating to over-dissension by players with umpires' decisions, the AFL is within its rights to take steps to "protect the image and integrity of the game", in fact is duty bound to do so!

Yep as I said grubs like Browne. Morris is a little follower of that grub.

Re: Bevo...
I just wonder what Bevo makes of Bulldogs Board Member and AFL Media journalist, Luke Darcy?
All journos barrack for a team. Does that mean all of them have a conflict of interest.
Seriously unwarranted and unhinged rant by Bevo despite what I think of Tom Morris and his ilk.

I watched the video of it. Good on him for standing up for himself and his club and skewering the carefully managed AFL political speak.

Good on Bevo.
The media always squeal like stuck pigs when someone has a crack at them....meanwhile they go about their business digging up dirt and calling it news.

The funniest part for me was when Bevo tried to kick Morris out like he has the power of a bouncer at a club.
Bevo doubled down on the personal stuff after that.
Again, completely unwarranted and unhinged rant from Bevo...And now we're all talking about it instead of the game itself.

Re: Bevo...
The source of the leak?
Hypothetical:
If I was a good mate of Lachie Hunter and Hunter told me he was shitty about not being in the 22, I would send Tom Morris a DM and tell him. Light the match, stand back n watch it burn
I got in trouble at work for criticizing certain baffling procedures, on a national forum (sort of like this one)
The forum is accessible only by employees of the company, and is part of the official app that we all use for things like electronic time clock, our rosters, uploading our Covid certs, etc.
I got in strife for airing issues, and really, each post got dozens of 'likes' but the bosses told me off for it.
I reckon Hunter unhappy, in the the same way Dunstan was salty with us.
So I reckon Hunter's family or friends did the white-anting, knowing Bevo would hammer Brown. So predictable

Re: Bevo...
Seemed like smoke & mirrors to me. Surely it was about something else because if it was about two correct stories on team selection, the journo has no case to answer.
Must be more to it OR Bevo chose that moment to end the presser without having to answer a question he did not wish asked.

It's given Fox Footy a lot of extra air time that they would never have had.

Re: Bevo...
There hasn't been a more polarising incident in a long time.
The post match press conferences should be encouraged to be a bit looser than they are. This is a good start.
Slag off the umps, slag off the journos, slag off the opposition..... give it and take it.

Yeah a downside.

Re: Bevo...
I'm all for press events to be looser, people speaking there mind etc, but you gotta pick your battle Bevo!
"You're a POS because you accurately reported information leaked from someone at my club!"
That's a 10-8 round to the journo every time, Bevo doesn't have a leg to stand on in this case.

Re: Bevo...
Let me ask those supporting Beveridge, what do you think of the way Trump abused certain reporters, because there is absolutely no difference.
It is not showing “passion” it is abuse pure and simple. If the club had a problem with the Morris story surely a call could be made to Fox or him or both to sort it out
Instead Beveridge did what he did, he bullied and abused , just as Trump does
Completely classless
And by the way it is completely irrelevant what you think of Tom Morris , NO ONE deserves to be treated that way for doing their job

Re: Bevo...
Not overly a huge fan of Morris but he is a journo and it's his job to dig and find things that nearly all if not all of you will go and read.
Bevo's outburst was a shocking look ..... having a go at someone for doing their job and in all respects was close to spot on .... which was confirmed by Bevo
Bulldogs and Bevo must be in serious serious trouble if they can be unsettled by a rather innocuous story about a player missing out on team selection
If Bevo thinks his little tirade is going to stop journos from digging he ain't too smart in fact it may only embolden them now in support of Morris ..... its their livelihood ..... like it or not

unringed rant - yes, indeed.
It is funny that Bevo lost it? And it was an enjoyable spectacle that we have to talk about? Who are the hypocrites? Us!
I don't think it is about Bevo actually, it is just about us..and the matrix life we live..a clash of frames. We need a different language. English has no vocabulary for when you speak 'company talk'..we use the same words...Maybe, one day, we'll actually have different verbs and nouns so that there can be no doubt, and no excuse for being taken out of context.
Just like Wellard said, he get's in trouble for mentioning something on a company forum.

Re: Bevo...
They have to drag Bevo across the coals for this, otherwise every coach can just decide after a bad loss I am not going to face the press and storm out.
He wants the huge bucks and prestige that come with being an AFL coach then accept the press scrutiny that goes along with it.
I really get annoyed by people that cry foul when the press go after them yet wallow in the limelight when it suits.

Bevo is an ex saints player and therefore one of the good guys.
