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.

    Looked a bit not himself either did Bevo IMO. Just seemed 'off'.

     

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
