Its clearly time that the AFL bought in a rule that any club perfunctory should be tied to the club that his father/grandfather/uncle had ever worked or volunteered at. In event of said son turning into a gun, It would be all the better if that rule could be enforced as an retrospective compulsory acquisition.

Better still if the son or daughter of any business that has ever sponsored the club, they can get drafted. Maybe we could get our own Big Clumsy Cox

I'm in the same boat. Love the romanticism of playing for your fathers/mothers/grandfathers etc club. Life members of clubs (players OR admin staff) should have a rule enforced imo.

The brothers' thing is interesting but would never work in reality.

Don’t agree with the “admin staff” bit. Can’t for the life of me see the romanticism of the son of a CFO running out for the club as the same as the son of a player. Unless you mean the club gets first dibs on the son as a future CFO , Publicity Officer or Property Steward..
 
Too much of him. I'm probably being silly.
Dude just an observation. You can tell me to go **** myself if you want but it seems like you're just not enjoying footy at the moment.
It happened to me a few weeks ago so I went dark. No football for a week. Came back much better.
 
OK I'm going to say it, I'm pretty sick of hearing Robert Murphy in the media.
I will love Bob forever but I've neither watched nor listened to anything he's done in the media this year. I want my memories to remain pure :smirk:.

I’m not sick of him, I think he and Riewoldt play off each other quite well on 360 when I’ve seen it. He also writes well in the age.

What I thought was strange was that he said he only watches one or two games a week when there was some state of the game conversation a few weeks back. I know he’s not alone, but I can’t understand how ex players are getting gigs in the media as experts/commentators and aren’t even watching games.

It’s the Channel 7 model - you are only there to talk about yourself. That is what the worshiping public really want. Sports Bet should offer odds on how many 30 year old clips of BT Talking Footy can show. It’s the commentators we love not current day players.
 
Did anyone see this on Friday night?

Incredibly disturbing footage has surfaced from Etihad Stadium on Friday night.

The footage shows a man bleeding from the head, shouting and swearing.

Three people were injured when a brawl broke out in the Medallion Club after Collingwood’s win over the Western Bulldogs.

What was he talking about this week? "Nothing to see here?"
Was great listening to P Gordon on 774 about 9:50 this morning. On every Friday morning but not sure when he starts.

Article in HS today but I can't find link to it. First paragraph:
"Western Bulldogs captain Easton Wood has revealed that frustrated coach Luke Beveridge demanded answers from his players after Friday night's embarrassing fade out to Collingwood."
Interesting to note (As someone pointed out somewhere earlier) that Bevo's 2 min video hasn't come out - and it still hasn't. Western Bulldogs app is advertising "listen from the coach" and playing the official after match press conference rather than the usual.
All very worrysome I think

What is so worrisome about it ?
 
Worried he is having no impact on the players. Why is leadership group so ineffectual? Just feel there is something not right. Just come out and say where we are, but no one has. I mean, why so stressed or peed off with them if they are rebuilding? Why no supporter message as soon as we start looking like shit? (I know no one here likes his vids but you can't hide the fact that it's the first one he's balked- so far).

Yeah, this is kind of what has me a little worried too. It's likely he would have tried everything- from sprays to a soft approach to everything in between. He's tried different teams, different players, made "statements" by selecting guys like Honey or Jong while dropping guys like Wallis...But in 2017 and this year nothing seems to be getting them consistently going. We're rebuilding the team but the most concerning part is it isn't even the really young players stuffing us up; it's that a whole bunch of premiership players have stagnated or gone backwards. The rebuild is certainly deliberate, but the lack of progression from some of our 2016 players feels like something's gone wrong that hasn't been able to be corrected.

And how we did a complete walling out of the media, possibly intending to make it look as if we were all in on a redemption season, only to get even worse, just makes that approach look like a complete joke. A bit more openness couldn't hurt.

Don't question the club Norman.
You will have a number of blokes on here jumping on you , although a lot of them have gone quiet.
The club has looked a basket case from about mid year last year .
Just looks to me not everyone is pulling in the same direction.
I thought the dumping of Stringer was going to fix everything ?
 
I don't know what it is.
Im certainly no fan of Stringer. Believed his own press when some media whore named him "the Package" for 2 seconds in one game. We loved it as it was a bit of fun.
I don't think Bevo is the type of bloke to discard someone for no reason.
What worries me is the look on Bevo's face after these losses which apparently can be explained by being the youngest team in the comp, fueds between high profile people (Gordon/Alberti), Gordon being sooooo quiet lately, Easton and Bont not looking right.....
There's more but you get the picture maybe
