Did anyone just catch Bevo's presser? Absolutely went nuts at Tom Morris for the Lachie Hunter story. Was quite Extraordinary. 

Bevo walked straight out immediately. 

Thoughts?

    I saw that.  Couldn't believe what I was seeing.  It'll be huge news tomorrow.

    He's better off trying to get his team to kick goals, instead of going round the outside, instead of going at reporters

    Sore loser. Disgraceful performance. Just made himself look like a petulant child. Should cop a whack from the AFL. I bet Tom Morris thrilled - great publicity for him. He will regret it.

    Mentioned it in the post game thread but it's one of the most extraordinary press conferences I've seen in the AFL.

    It bordered on slander at times, claiming Morris was only doing these stories because he supported MFC, calling it muckraking, implying it was hurting the mental health of those mentioned. Beveridge even tried to get Morris thrown out of the press conference (unsuccessfully). Morris stood up for himself repeatedly. This was a dumpster fire that will be replayed of what not to do when challenged in a public space.

    Just ridiculous. The fact that Bevo mentioned (AND COMPLAINED ABOUT, OUT LOUD), leaking, says it all.

    Morris merely reported facts made aware to him. Don't lose the plot when they're made public.

    As a journalist he was just doing his job and it was merely about a selection.  It was an amazing and in my view unjustified attack. ..

    I might be on my own here but I think that's absolute [censored] poor form by Beveridge. 

    Whether or not we like how journalists go about there business I think all Tom Morris was doing was simply his job. I mean in the end he actually got it right? Hunter was actually a late out today only to be then brought back in when JJ became a last minute out.

    Beveridge is really showing his true colours of late in the past 12 months. Becoming a bigger sore loser then Chris Scott.

    Maybe realise his defensive players are ordinary and forward line is 1 player.

    Don't reckon you are mate. Every person I've heard comment so far thinks it's absolutely appalling.

    The irony of Bevo going on about 'mental health' while he bullies and belittles someone in their workplace is outrageous.

    His attitude reminds me of Terry Wallace’s Bulldogs of the late 90’s. It’s always ‘backs against the wall. Everyone hates us’. You can’t keep that up forever, as it’s mentally exhausting.

    He got upset at Damien Barrett last year too. It’s like he needs to feel the world is out to get him. It’s an old, outdated world view that’s really bad for your mental health.

    It was an embarrassing performance. Beveridge came off as a petulant sook. To make the mental health argument was pretty poor. If he was annoyed with Morris he should’ve discussed it in private.

    There is obviously a leak somewhere at the dogs. 

    I remember Tom Morris eavesdropping  outside the door a couple of years ago when our team was getting a bake then reporting it.

    Wow I just heard the end where bevo said you're an embarrassment & everyone is the room went oohh

    Its back to Stevo v Mick again. At least Damien Barrett now has a friend to join him in the journos bevo hates.

    I can’t stand Tom Morris (mentioned already but he described Salem as a soft half-back flanker which shows how little he knows about the game) but that was totally uncalled for and unprofessional by Beveridge.

    Gee I hope Bevo hasn't become as they would say in pro wrestling 'a mark for himself'.

    Coming from someone whose politics are admittedly left, I thought the quoting of Che Guevara and Emma Goldman bloody weird. If he is now calculating his actions to be seen as some type of iconoclast then the Dogs will need a quiet word with him.

    Watching it back it's a direct attack on someone just doing their job.

    To bring in the mental health perspective is an absolute joke based on what has taken place and what you're upset about. Morris was reporting facts.

    To then also try and put it back on Tom Morris and claim he's giving everyone else a bad name is straight up bullying. He is trying to turn everyone else in that room against him, and it should be called out.

    I’m sorry , but the bulldogs are a club of absolute sooks.

    Whinging over a bloody song, and then calling Morris a gutter journo for reporting an out???

    Love beating this mob.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
