Has Oscar McInerney learnt how to jump in the ruck yet?
He is 100% correct.

Just go and abuse us on the general board with the other supporters. Don't come here and bait people with the pile on, on our coach. It's not wanted or needed here, stop being a Tom Morris

Bevo is clearly pissed about Morris reporting on Smith going on mental health leave earlier this year, this is the type of shit that you reach out to the club and player agent about prior to running it.

No I agree, I just think he went a bit too far.
The delivery was clearly not Bevo's finest work but I think it does raise an interesting question concerning integrity of the game when one club is privy to another's tactics (be it team selection or something else) ahead of an upcoming match, when that isn't shared the other way - being a form of information asymmetry.
It may usually be relatively trivial in the scheme of things but I can see why this would be disturbing to clubs when this kind of thing occurs, as per the Talia incident (once bitten twice shy in Bevo's case?).
Clearly Beveridge let his emotions get the better of him in attempting to address it though and the message ultimately gets lost.

Yep I agree with you, and if you read between the lines that’s clearly what Bevo was getting at by talking about the detriment it’s doing to the club, but I think he went about it completely the wrong way. No point going after a journo so viciously who was basically just doing his job, yes we need to find the leak but getting the media completely offside isn’t going to help.
But thanks for pointing out what he meant.

I think the club needs to work the phones with the other clubs. There needs to be a proper code of ethics for AFL Journalisim. We have seen the impact from one journalist who targeted Tom Boyd for years, successful in helping create mental health issues including anxiety and panic attack from his relentless attacks.
The AFL likes to sell itself as progressive and able to influence positive change around a number of social issues, but turns a blind eye to bullying, lies, slander and targeting of individuals by its own media. Not to mention the number of ex AFL commentators barracking for their own clubs in a unprofessional biased way.

Dogs are in a bit of trouble if they can be unsettled by Tom Morris
pity your club is unsettled by merely stepping onto the field.
"he's just doing his job".... That's a cop out. The dude muck racked a young fella who had to take time away from his work because of mental health concerns.
The spray was in relation to more than team selection.

If I was a Dogs supporter I would be ropable after tonight's capitulation against a side whose backline was decimated .... and then to see the coach lose the plot and spit the dummy and storm out of a presser ...... and its only Rd 1 ....... I would be asking questions
Unfortunately for you, you support the saints and we beat you by 111 points last time. Maybe you should be ropable about that instead?
Should be more worried about your own club

Bevo is going to cop shit this week but FINALLY someone called out that shit stain Tom Morris.
Don’t think it will worry Bevo
He already cops it most weeks especially from Barrett, so what’s new

We have a bit of a double standard ourselves on leaking of team selections.
We've been quite happy for some ITK posters to give some pretty blunt hints about who's in and who's out in previous years. Some may say that leaking it to a friendly BF board is quite different and pretty harmless ... but we've seen in the past that's where some of these journos get their material.
Barrett will have a field day tomorrowHe already cops it most weeks especially from Barrett, so what’s new
Why is it not a bigger story that the Bulldogs have someone in the inner sanctum leaking incredibly important information to the press and potentially opposition clubs? Who cares about Morris, that's the huge story.
Hope the rat gets caught and publicly outed, pretty disgraceful behaviour to be leaking inner-sanctum stuff to the media.
