I'm sure the media will take the sore loser angle on this which is not good publicity for our club

 

[Bulldogs85]

Tom Morris would of had to change his underwear tonight lol

 

[footscray1973]

Will be curious if anything comes out about the actual leaker. Immediate knee-jerk assumption would be someone new to the club (i.e. assistants), but then who leaked before the GF? Not sure I'd want to be them if/when Bevo confirms their role, deliberate or accidental.

 

[hoianbulldog]

Aside from the mid field guns battling manfully. I thought that we saw the Tim English that we have been waiting for tonight. Personally I thought he was the best ruckman on the ground all night.

People hopefully are starting to see the 27 year old tim english..........he has been cut by many coz he didnt dominate at 21..........this guy has mustard in spades.

getting in the neck? What did he do that was so bad.

Bailey Williams was without doubt the most damaging player on the ground-against us. So many costly and basic errors. Shocker of a game.

 

[dergert]

I can see a McClure V Adelaide thing here with little dick Morris.

He'll be digging like **** now for every little bit.

All the little minions will be poking bevo now hahah

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Worst of all, it gives the Purple Peanut more ammo.

Its not going to matter who.

This is going to be THE story of round 1 and every single accredited AFLMedia type will now absolutely pile on to Beveridge and the dogs.

We might as well pull up the drawbridge and man the ramparts at Whitten Oval.

We're in for a siege that'll last for some time.

 

[Bald]

I actually don't care either way. I'd rather it didn't happen and once the game emotion is gone and Bevo has had a chance to calm down he likely will regret his actions but if what was said is to be believed, Tom simply needs to do better. Mutual respect between journalists and clubs is integral to being a journalist and relying on an individual who may not be as loyal as others to write your stories for you as opposed to actually doing proper journalism probably warrants the embarrassing tag that Tom got.

 

[Here we go dogs]

I loved Bevo’s presser. I wouldn’t take questions from Morris either. I will turn fox off every time he comes on just like I avoid Barrett at all costs

 

[footscray1973]

"We were comfortable with our strategy, and implementation, by and large."

Handball, handball, handball - caught/turnover. Break off half back with the ball, turnover at midfield, or advance to F50 and kick over forwards' heads. Tick.

Given the egos of the press, they'll probably push - and keep pushing - for Bevo to be sacked.

Not a good night for the club. Poor turn out, didn’t play well and now the presser.

Did Beveridge actually say that? If so he's delusional.

 

[footscray1973]

Spell-check and/or subbies not required at AFL.COM.AU

 

[Leon]

Just saw the whole presser.

Absolutely embarrassing.

Tom Morris is a worm and I have no time for him, but Beveridge completely embarrassed himself there.

He‘s got to face consequences for that, he’s the coach of the club and he cannot be launching childish personal attacks at journalists at press conferences, even if they are worms like Morris.

Just the cherry on top of a shitty night.

 

[dergert]

Above all, there are some positive things to build on.

Whether we do it is another story.

 

[footscray1973]

Did Beveridge actually say that? If so he's delusional.

That is a verbatim quote.

 

[philmb]

58,000 for a GF rematch at the MCG is disappointing for the AFL & Melbourne. Wednesday night really backfired on that one.

 

[BrunswickDog]

I think that Bevo presser has the ability to really destabilise our season. It will either galvanise the group or allow those with an axe to grind to undermine him.

If the undermining starts, it will be no turning back.

Did Clarko ever go off like that?

 

[VogonProsthetnic]

Selection of so many average and inexperienced players puzzles me.

Surely Dureya comes back, will add a lot to our defence.

Wallis is worth a try also, why he on our list if they are not going to play him? Stick him next to Naughton.

Have absolutely no idea why Cordy was resigned- would not get a game at any other club. Would much have preferred we kept Lewis Young

Similarly Schache and Gardiner are fringe players- hopefully O’Brien will get fit and can give a Keath some help.

Williams is big worry, he was poor in the GF as well. Needs to improve his decision making, he is not Bailey Dale

or Daniel. Not sure he is better than Crozier or Doc ATM.

VDM and Weightman are young and make a lot of mistakes. Scott and McNeil and JJ are surely better options for now.

Get a second ruck please. It’s obvious we will never beat Melbourne will only one ruckman.

 

[Pep_x]

The full clip isn't nearly as bad as the parts the media will run with.
All a bit unnecessary though isn't it.

 

[Billy Demon]

I really apologise for my intrusion for obvious reasons. But I want to lend my support to Bevo. He got you into a GF last year and probably top 4 this year. He is a passionate guy and maybe he should have said he wasn’t going to take questions from Morris and move on. Hopefully everyone gives Bevo a break on this one. If you want to hammer me that’s ok.

Having now watched his whole presser, Bevo did ok with his follow up comments and justifying why he was p1ssed off with Morris, compared to other journos, but the initial attack on Morris (while probably justified) was very poorly executed, and will, sadly for our club, be the whole story. I doubt any media outlet will mention the subsequent comments to add at least some context and explain why Bevo was so p1ssed off.
