Irate members of the Adelaide hierarchy were instructed by coach Don Pyke to remain publicly silent over Luke Beveridge's 'disgusting' barb, which the Crows have taken personally and which has intensified the bitterness between the two clubs.


And yet Adelaide bosses remain adamant neither coach Pyke nor CEO Fagan - in a tweet directed to a supporter - questioned the integrity of the umpires nor directly complained about the officiating of the game.

Fagan communicated as much to Stevenson but the Bulldogs boss said that Beveridge would not be apologising to the Crows. Playing down the dispute Stevenson backed his coach and said he agreed with his comments regarding the criticism of umpires.

"Andrew gave me a call," said Stevenson, "and we had a good chat about it and it was fine. We will not be over-reacting on the basis of one word."


The two clubs were at odds after the 2015 elimination final and subsequent investigation over alleged shared information between the Talia brothers. Fagan and his club were frustrated at Bulldogs chairman Peter Gordon's micro-management of the wording of the investigation's official outcome.


The three most interesting parts of the article there. Caroline Wilson stating that it was Pyke who instigated the silence about the hypocrisy from Beveridge. The Bulldog's CEO who thinks that calling a club/our coach "disgusting" would be an over-reaction. Hello pot, kettle, black again. And then Caroline stating again about Peter Gordon's influence of the wording of the Talia investigation. The way that whole article is written, says that Caro, as the one who has we know been used as the AFL mouthpiece before, is giving out the message that the AFL is not happy with the Bulldogs and haven't been for a while. This is a classic AFL way to influence the public to their line of thinking by their use of Caro.

The fact he won't apologise indicates that he was having a crack at the club and not the supporters.

What a ficked up club.

They've joined Port, Sydney and Geelong on my hit list.

Current shit list for me:

Essendon - drug cheats
GWS - shouldn't exist, concessions may cost us a flag
Geelong - Dangerfield, campaigner supporters, sudden surge up the ladder
Port - It's Port
Sydney - the AFL's darling
Western Bulldogs - general floggery, the worst club since 1950, so much hype and over-the-top love for them lately

Really the only place I can imagine that photo of the umpire frees on the computer screen would have come from is the Crows box, with the intention of geeing up the supporters (and it worked!).
Who else would have done this?
No direct links back to the club either.
So that is why I think Bev aimed the "disgusting" line at the whole club.
He cant flat out say that he thinks AFC leaked this data as he has no proof at all (I don't either).
But that is why (I think) he will not apologise as he thinks Crows were behind the whole thing.

AFC acted very professionally publicly and they got the result they wanted:
- Pannell exposed
- ludicrously lopsided free kick counts to Bulldogs this year spotlighted
- blowtorch will be applied by AFL to a terrible rule that encourages risk-taking behaviour

Better to highlight this now and stamp it out rather than get another Neil Sachse (hmm, also a Bulldog).
Anyone remember him?
I guess I have a longer memory than Bulldogs do since they actively encourage the risk of serious head/neck injuries for the sake of a few free kicks.

EDIT:
Man I just found video evidence.
Sachse became a quadriplegic by putting his head down and running through a player.
Someone tweet this to a journo please.

I believe the IP address traces back to the Ecuador Embassy in London.

Was leaked from the club for sure.
That's why you could basically see the steam coming from Pyke's ears and nose during the press conference after the game. They would have been getting these stats through real time not only after the end of the game.

Very sad. Makes me cry. These Umpires and AFL cover up pieces of NT Buffalo Turds have to listen and act.

It was even worse when compared with a similar incident at the other end of the ground a couple of minutes later. The Bulldogs player was almost running around the 3rd tier of the grandstand, yet he didn't get called for OOB. Even the bulldogs supporters watching it in the club with me were dumbfounded that he got away with it, while Eddie got called.

Ump didn't call it on Eddie until he punted it to Jenkins in the goalsquare which is what PO'd me the most.

Only one on the list for me

Port

Bulldogs are a loser club that will drain the competition financially as they have for years with f all people supporting them

Geelong I have to give credit for 119 they just have dimwit supporters who have no idea how RFA works
