Bevo 103: Media Interviews and Press Conferences

Familiarise yourself with the names of your interviewers and use their names when answering their questions. This builds rapport and brings them into the "tent of conversation". This fosters an attitude of mutual respect and acceptance over time with regular participants, and goes a long way to giving press conferences the best chance of being conducted in a cordial atmosphere.

Has picked them to lose the last four weeks and they get extra injuries further depleting their squad. Picks them to win

Interesting the general thought is that Collingwood is system based and no matter who is out they will usually win

Could well be right.

We all know how poor we perform when we don’t have emotional engagement from our players.

Not doubting it ... but surely there is a tipping point. System can be great but if you have second string spuds playing it can't always be a win

My two favourite facts about Jim that I always mention to people...

The oldest living V/AFL player and has lived longer than any player in V/AFL history.

Made his V/AFL debut in R2 1938, over a year before WWII began.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Extraordinary. We had a family friend live to a similar age, still had all her faculties, just eyesight started playing up (didn't need a walker though), but anyone at this age who still has full awareness is just amazing. How much the world has changed in their lifetime...

Played in our first VFL final as a 19yo.
Team mates included Alby Morrison who debuted in the late 1920s, and Arthur Olliver who retired in 1950. And Norm Ware and Harry Hickey amongst others.

I've got a mounted copy of a 1946 team photo that features Jim Miller, future captain Harry Hickey and 4 club captain coaches - Morrison, Ware, Olliver and a young Charlie Sutton.

Also one opponent in the 1938 semi final was Albert Pannam, great uncle of Ed Richards.

Where’s the phone call to his mum saying he’s playing this weekend

He's also the last living person to have played V/AFL footy against such names as...

Ron Barassi Snr
Harry Collier
Chicken Smallhorn
Gordon Strang
Soapy Vallence

 

[MJG14]

Thought that the Bevo interview on Talking Footy last night was interesting. Didn't know about his group chat with Ange, Brian Goorjian and Neil Craig.

The rest of the show was pretty bland.

Probably Bob Pratt and Laurie Nash too.

Not sure if any alive apart from him who took the field against Jack Dyer and Dick Reynolds either, and he just missed the main part of Bunton's Victorian career by a season (two games during ww2 in 1942vweren't against Footscray).

segment on 360 on Wednesday night where he distanced himself from his role as part-time goal kicking coach?

Johnno also took the chance to pile on at Bevo a few weeks back, when the whole footy world was coming at him, saying that Bevo allows the outside noise to infiltrate inside the footy club. Johnno might believe this is 100% true, but why can't he have a direct chat to Bevo instead calling him out on national TV?

Johnno tries his hardest to be a neutral when it comes to all things Bulldogs that he often goes too much the other way and ends up piling on a bit.

Good question.

I'm just speculating here, but maybe it's because he's paid for commentary ... and they leaned on him to say something controversial because he's regarded as a credible voice on anything related to the Bulldogs?

I haven't seen the segment but was he really "piling on"? Or was he just saying the least controversial thing he could think of when asked to comment?

Would he be well advised to approach Bevo on the quiet and say "Hey mate you shouldn't let the outside noise infiltrate the footy club"? I dunno. If Bevo was already beleaguered he was probably getting plenty of gratuitous advice and wouldn't welcome any more of it.

Unless they are on really pally terms I doubt Johnno would go there ... and even if he did, Bevo would be quite entitled to tell him where to get off.

Was in an online meeting this morning, and phone rang 3 times with caller ID displaying "Western Bulldogs"! As I was also presenting, I couldn't take any of the calls.

My assumption was it was Bevo checking with me to get the BF vibe and my approval of team changes and feedback on his general coaching. He's never rung me before, but I've always known it was only a matter of time...

Meeting ended, I hurriedly called back.

Turns out that even though I'd updated my credit card details on Ticketmaster, which is allegedly linked to the Bulldogs app, billing details are not integrated.

When I asked the staff member to at least pretend to be Bevo to stoke my fantasy, they hurriedly hung up.

Olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça
É ela menina que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço a caminho do mar

Moça do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar

But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking and
When she passes, I smile but she doesn't see
She doesn't see
She just doesn't see

I don't know if this is the place for it or not, but the newish 9 duo of Alicia Loxley and Tom Steinfort is a good combo imo. Tom is quite the wit.
