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.

Don't forget the apparent 'conflict of interest' because he barracks for the Dees...

 

 

I'm not a Morris fan at all but he didn't back down...good for him.

I clearly don’t read the news. What’s the background going back to last year?

Same.

I mean the boy has guts for turning up to the actual presser in the first place.. Was completely shocked when I heard him pipe up.

Takes a leaf out of their supporters book.   Just a massive bunch of sooks

Full presser.

 

Fair play to Tom Morris for doing his job and then giving it right back. Takes guts to stand up to a guy who was trying to bully and belittle him like that.

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 It’s an old, outdated world view that’s really bad for your mental health. 

I think the Damo Barrett one has been going on for years now.

The one you may be referring to was Kane Cornes when he called out Adam Treloar's (so he should) poor finals performance. 

 

Wow. Goodwin and Bevo - yin and yang.

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.

I think we now know who's carrying the biggest scars from last year

Loved Bevo as a player, he's not in a good space

Hope Mick Malthouse aint one of his mentors

Oh I had now idea. I hate Damien Barrett so I avoid his nonsense like the plague, but I stumbled on something last year and so thought it was new. I also dislike Kane Cornes, so maybe Bevo’s on to something 🤔

Well I'm sure that'll help plug the leak back at the kennel... Deary me what an embarrassment.  There's certainly something to be said for maintaining composure in a leadership role.  It's not a journalist's fault if there are internal issues within the club.

Framing Morris is a demons spy is too funny.

Playing the mental health card because Hunter is dropped is just sad, even if he is struggling mentally he’s dropped, it’s not a huge issue. Bevo made it worse naming him, dropping him then making him sub.

The "health and well being" we should be concerned about is Bevo's. The guy's snapped.

And journos are going to journo. What about the leaks about our club? The club handled them brilliantly, but here's Bevo practically frothing at the mouth over a team selection issue.

Che Guevara was one weird cat and hardly a role model. Bevo's becoming the poor man's Malthouse. At least Malthouse's mad utterings were based on some kind of sense.


On the basis of the game tonight, Bevo's Presser and the 70's porn star mo, I'm calling it now...... the Bulldogs will not make the 8 this season and a new coach next season.

Never seen anything like that. Surely the dogs media manger should have stepped in earlier there..  

Bevo has lost it, we are living completely rent free in his head and knows they can't beat us

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.

You are not on your own.

Total public bullying, of a young journo, without any right of reply.

Disgusting behaviour, by a Coach who has lost it.

I hope Fox Footy bans the Dogs from all interviews and publicity for the next few months.

The AFL should be horrified at this behaviour, at their own media conference. $100k fine would not be out of the question.

Lets hear how the other journos treat this disgusting episode, on the opening night of the season.

Wow, if Goody is a bully privately, from a few comments to a doctor, this guy has made that look like a tea party.

PS: What about the journo's mental health, after that slanderous, public, verbal assault. Again, disgusting behaviour Bevo and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Agree, he seemed way off in his presser way before teeing off at TM.

This is where it really became a sh*tshow! In essence he’s saying that Tom Morris barracking for MFC means he’s conspiring to damage the Bulldogs. This is frankly first order ‘sore loser’ stuff, and a shameful embarrassment to the club and his team.  If Bevo’s not well, and it’s perilously close to appearing that way, then he genuinely needs help. Otherwise this is a disgraceful performance from someone whose job requires much higher standards. I abhore gutter journalism. Tom Morris was just doing his job.

Didn't he deck Barrett in the toilets at the Brownlow a few years back? Classic case of short man syndrome.


He did learn under Clarkson. So did Hardwick for that matter - hmm I'm sensing a pattern here.

It’s inconsequential what Morris reported on and who his source was. That was nothing but a chest-thumping and egotistical display (with a bit of cry-baby thrown in there for good measure), that was unnecessary is that setting (or any setting). 

 

Bevo has lost the plot and looks mentally unstable. If I were a Dogs supporter I’d be concerned someone that loose is senior coach. If he can act like that live on National TV imagine what he’d act like when he gets unhinged behind closed doors.
 

The media conference rivals the Kevin Keegan presser when he blew up before Newcastle United capitulated in the league in 96. Bevo’s is probably worse.

3 minutes ago, Lord Nev said:

Can anyone also explain what the soft cap has to do with anything?

 

Hunter’s had issues. Baz Smith had issues over summer. Clubs have trimmed back their welfare departments.

Not convinced it’s a valid excuse but Bevo does care for his players and AFL players and coaches are struggling. Struggling more than everyday folk - I doubt it.

Long bow from Bevo but he might be saying cut Hunter some slack because he’s dropped due to having a less than ideal summer.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
