Berko Bevo vs. the former Muckraker Morris in the Round 1 presser

[St 07]

Bevos rant seemed like someone with a head full of adrenaline not quite making sense after his initial outburst

I'd say it was the opposite. He kept his composure, despite a long day and night with clearly a lot going on additionally behind the scenes. For a long time, we've kept these issues under a rug. In my opinion, this is absolutely brilliant. The man has a spine, integrity and will protect his Bulldog family. He'll risk his position to speak out against injustice. And when he does it, he knows when to walk away as well. It actually sends a positive message.

Thank you Bev, never change.

The hand wringing from self-important journos is reaching hysterical levels now.

Robbo suggesting Tom Morris should consider legal action.

 

[W W Biscuit]

Those who are saying that Morris was only doing his job are not seeing the bigger picture apropos the appalling lack of journalistic ethics in this country.

I applaud Bevo for his public display of outrage.

An attack against one of them is an attack against all of them. If Tom Morris is a muckracking gutter journalist then all of them are.

Now Bevo needs support from our nowhere to be seen the president of our club

Who even is our president? I wouldn’t know without looking it up.

Genuine LOL moment. That's the problem with journos of today they think they can write or broadcast whatever they please with impunity.

They think about the 'story' and not the consequences or that actual people are involved. Look at how eager they are to write about when a player 'takes a break'.

They fall over themselves to the point the club or their player has to disclose its due to mental health. It's crap. Morris works for Fox, so News Corp, so hardly a shock when it comes to ethics and integrity.

Beware of the mouse.

Just dropped in to say I loved what Bevo said in this presser. His choice of words, maybe at times a little too personal were completely warranted considering the explosion of ‘muckraking’ gutter journalism in the last few years.

Sadly they won’t give a sh*t when it comes down to it, or the essence of what he was saying. These ‘journos’ are trolls without ethics. Living for clickbait and personal ambition. They would happily destroy a player’s mental health or even a club if it was good for their careers.

Tom Morris:

1. Private School boy
2. Employed by NewsCorp
3. Donald Trump supporter

Now if that is not the trifecta of campaignerism then I don’t know what is.

Yep.

Time for an official Code of Conduct for AFL "journos".

The fact that even Jesse Hogan, a contracted player, called him out back in 2019 really does say a lot. Outside of Tom Browne, you almost never see players directly calling out journalists

Are all dogs fans under the assumption that Hunter and Gardner (21 GF) were both made aware of selection via the media before the coach and that’s why Bevo is so furious? I can understand why he would be fuming as it can create some genuine unrest from those players. I just wish he explained this a little better last night.

I think Hunter was definitely aware but the Gardner/VDM situation is a little more unclear. I'd say a lot of what was said last night wasn't to do with the Hunter incident but rather the GF incident which Bevo has clearly not moved on from.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Its instructive that Beveridge has beef with the two biggest muck racking shitstains in AFLMedia. Damien Barrett and Tom Morris.

This alone should be enough for the football following community to get fully behind Beveridge.

Brothers. Sisters. Comrades. Its time to take to the streets and bring down those masquerading as journalists at AFLMedia.

 

[Sentinel]

I look forward to the the AFL media's completely impartial discussion on this matter over the next many months as they continue to strive for maintaining impeccable journalistic integrity.

I think what he was getting at is that it's not good for players' mental health to have the speculation about why they were omitted and have coaches field questions about it before they have time to control the narrative. I dunno, he went off the rails and stopped making sense a few sentences before that.

Good idea. Then she could pummel Beveridge about the head with the misogynistic card as well as her quiver full of poison arrows.

Bulldogs supporters would be well advised to give what passes for football analysis a wide birth in the coming week.

Doing so according to their (self imposed) rigorous set of ethics.
