Full thee minutes here:

Love this from Bevo. The Chopper moustache has taken over his brain. Love the passion. Wish he was our coach.
Morris' "source" at the Dogs would be shitting bricks.

 

[gringo2011]

Bloody hell. That kind of reaction from Bevo seems really unhealthy.

I’m sure he will look back and massively regret this.

Looks like a guy under a lot of mental strain.

He's smarter than he looks. He's trying to motivate his side with an us against the world attitude. Create an enemy and the soldier's eyes glaze over and they go into fight mode. Post premiership loss he needs to refocus their energy and make them want to go again. The media is a pawn in his long game.

Mate... He's not Kevin Sheedy. He's not even Mick Malthouse.

This was a coach coming to grips with the thought that his team is nowhere near good enough to win the flag (unless there is a massive choke job somewhere) and lashing out at the first person he could.

Absolute flog and he should be fined plenty, if not suspended for a few weeks.

Yeah surely there's a big fine coming

 

[Sun Ra]

Yeah surely there's a big fine coming

Love how he called out Morris as a Dees supporter. Classic.

Ahhh great start to the new season, a very entertaining game and post match an absolute cracker!

 

[Hayes4PM]

Bevo cooked it. Tom Morris deserves a serve over many things but not this and not in the way he delivered it. Must be some shit going on internally for him to melt like that.

 

[sammm]

doubt it, its only a reporter lol

Morris started it. He lit the fire. Then he opened up the press conference with his "all about me" question about his own "story" about selection.
He deserved the whack he got and should take his medicine.

 

[Verdun]

Know Bevo is copping heaps for this but I like it, Morris needs calling out.

Morris did his job. Reported on a story from a source, who Bevo seems to concede is legit, saying there's a leak. Then hangs shit on Morris for doing his job, then going beyond his job to asking personal, loaded questions like "Are you proud yourself? Really? You're proud of yourself? Wow". Then, starts accusing him of being insensitive to the mental health and wellbeing of players, because he... leaked a team selection? Which was correct. Nah, Morris is a w***er, but Bevo is being both hypocritical and irrational on this particular issue.

What has Morris ever done wrong? Genuine question.

It's theatre, distraction, spin and mind games and I found it hugely entertaining and hilarious. Morris is supposed to be a journalist. If that's true, I'm sure he can take it or should be able to. Bevo has probably just given him a $100K pa pay rise. Lol.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

sometimes I get him confused with that w***er Tom Browne. That's reason enough for me.

Nah lost it and embarrassed himself, can’t see the bulldogs or the afl being happy with that. He’ll cop some kind of punishment and he deserves to imo. Plenty of bevo is a piece of work stories coming out today as well, week one and the wheels have fallen off the bulldogs express.

 

[rodney86]

Who the hell is Tom Morris anyway? I'm assuming he's one of the many parasites that seem to infest the AFL media industry and add nothing to society.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

There's clearly something else to this. You don't blow a fuse over a bog standard selection leak like that.

 

[Joffaboy]

Bevo was more entertaining than his team.
Classic deflection. Hides his team from criticism of another choke v Melbourne. Classic Sheedy.

Home sick watching Show me the Money. Really piss poor. Just about ego manic managers.
The Dunstan bit was funny. Build him up with all his stats, 11th in the League for this 15th for that 11 Brownlow votes and THE SAINTS DELIST HIM.

Then the bombshell, he won't take a contract if the Saints offer

There was no offer and then the manager gives him the news. No offers, nobody interested, will have to wait to go DFA.

Reality comes crashing down on Dunstan that he isn't as good as he thinks he is.

I'll give it ten more minutes and if it doesn't improve, it is off.

I can’t believe after the AFL doco following some fantastic AFL icons and tracking them throughout the entire season. We got served up a show about some random manager dickheads that no one cares about.

 

[The Jack]

Bevo spent the day at a work meeting of ours in December. He addressed the room for an hour late in the day. Everything is about themes with him. He is always trying to find something to get an edge and stimulate his players and the Footscray Football Club as a whole.

I’m still trying to decipher what he was actually talking about. He’s from another planet and needs a bit of a spell for his own well-being.

 

[Joffaboy]

Ha ha lol Dunstan shot himself in the foot by shitting on Ratts saying he didn't rate him. Apparently one of the clubs interested in him was put off by him dumping on his former club.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[Bill Mohr]

Bevo has made himself look like a serious fool.

He's smarter than he looks. He's trying to motivate his side with an us against the world attitude. Create an enemy and the soldier's eyes glaze over and they go into fight mode.

let the games begin and it is only RD 1

 

[StCicatriz]

sometimes I get him confused with that w***er Tom Browne. That's reason enough for me.

is that you bevo?

in all seriousness if he came out and accussed Morris of being Tom Browne and then proceeded to kick the living shit out of Browne he probably would have got a 90% approval rating. instead he came out with a 30% approval rating, performance management meetings with his superiors including the CEO/Pres and an upcoming dressing down the the AFL.

he essentially went full mark harvey. never go full mark harvey.

correct. GC was the club. then proceeded to bag the shit out of the GC when they werent interested, stating he'd prefer to go to melbourne because of their presentation hahahahaha

stewie dew did not like what he heard.

what does Tom Browne even do? I feel like all he does is repost other people's scoops
