  1. Sorry WYL, but unless you are Bevo in disguise, you can't say that. Only Bevo really knows what he knew.
  2. His career is not over, but maybe it is with Fox. He may not need legal advice if Fox paid out his full contract.
  3. I have thought this for a while too. In the meantime the Hawks are paying him for this year while he refreshes.
  4. Good point. Bevo has got off basically without any penalty, other than having to read a statement that someone else probably wrote for him. To me he gave the appearance of somebody reluctantly reading an apology, that he didn't really believe in. The club has donated $20000.00 to one of it's own charities, big deal. This bloke bullied a journo on national TV, without giving him any chance of reply. It was disgusting. For the AFL to not punish Bevo, seemingly condoning extreme bullying, at its own media conference, is just more hypocritical behaviour by this organization, yet again. The Morris incident the next day is irrelevant, unless Bevo knew of the Morris comments when he made his and then played a part in their distribution, which seems very unlikely. If someone employed by the Dogs or AFL, or wherever, is behind the release of the Morris audio, that person probably deserves the same fate as Morris, as distributing it to the public and hurting an innocent person, is a worse crime than Morris's, which was making some drunken, repulsive comments, in a private setting.
  5. Any news on Salem?
  6. The crowd size is one of the AFL's own making. The AFL chose TV ratings, over crowd attendance and they can live with it. Playing the game midweek at night, when young kids and their parents looking after them can't go and maybe even some elderly supporters and you have decreased the attendance by 20-30000. I would guess if that game was played saturday afternoon with all the hype, it might have got 80-90000 attending. It also doesn't help when the fans of one side don't go.
  7. 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.
  8. Well since the players canโ€™t even look at the umpires anymore, it is important that we have a large Demon crowd making a lot of noise, which we know affects umpires in close calls.
  9. Unless I misunderstood the AFL email, everyone attending needs a reserved seat.
  10. Wonโ€™t be. AFL has declared first round no walk up.
  11. Well done Dees. All adds to our culture. Dick and Carol are lifelong Dees and would have got a real kick out of seeing the cup up close. Dick absolutely deserved this as our past CEO, among other roles and I am very happy for him.
  12. Leaving the greatest Demon out, if Allen Jacovich was playing in this side, he would kick 100 in a season, while eating his Big Mac meal during the game. Clearly several of the Demon stars of years gone by would be as good, if not better in this current team. One of the most pleasing things for me is the depth in this squad. I canโ€™t recall this quality of depth in the last 50 years. Thank you Jason Taylor, one of the best recruits ever to the Dees.
  13. I actually thought Schache could have got a free in the marking contest, when Gus just barrelled him. The fact that he pretended to be mortally wounded probably went against him. Gus clearly tried to put him out of the contest and succeeded. But who cares, we are Premiers.
  14. And you got me smiling.
  15. Might be a good time to get the deal done soon and with Jacko to come out and say how much he respects the Coach and has learned from him.
  16. Another quiet day on DL!
  17. Humour sensor down Atm?
  18. I think you have eaten too many bad flies froggy.
  19. Silly frog. Too many hallucinogens on the lily pad.
  20. Call it whatever you like, as long as they have continued success. Go Dees.
  21. I am bemused. What is the rationale and meaning of your posting name?
  22. And if Eagles were on the bottom it could be a disaster. He and Clarry are major priority signings and the club absolutely knows that. I hope Jacko truly is not homesick, as that will be the major reason he would leave. Having 6 or so, fellow WA teammates at the Dees wonโ€™t hurt. We could find the salary cap room for him if needed.
  23. Info or hunch?
  24. Remember it's not the size but the quality.
