Cretins like Barrett are just clueless scribes who change with the wind but what Matthews said is as disgusting as it gets IMO.
I was stoked that Matthews had to give the medal to Bevo. To face all the mistakes he's made (overlooking good coaches like Simpson & Bevo for his boys) and see the elation of Boyd and the others. I find myself disgusted in him and with a trail of shithouse footy decisions since retiring as coach, I have no idea why Ch7 put him on a pedestal as some footy genius.

A great story of resilience, champion.
Me too. Tom Boyd again. Tom Boyd again. It was mesmerising, astonishing and heart-warming at the same time.
With two massive finals performances he's turned CamHead into our plan B.
He's officially a ruckman who can go forward and do damage.
Kurt Tippett is now a poor man's Tom Boyd.

Haha, I was stirring up everyone around me at the GF by calling him "Value" from about halfway through the first quarter onwards.

To be fair, it's not hard to look like a genius when you are surrounded by a-grade morons like Ling and Zempilas

Ch7 have a thing for adulterers. It's their niche.

I took a few brief moments n my euphoric state to BOO the prick, "get him off, piss off Matthews" etc and was hoping he would do a Frank Lowy at the A League grand final and fall off the dais. Will never forgive him for those malicious comments.

I gave a yell of 'what do you think of Tom Boyd now you flog'. He pretended like he couldn't hear me out there in the middle.

Re: Tom Boyd
Every week of the finals Matthews not only tipped against us, but in a superior, dismissive tone, with no respect. I've developed a healthy dose of loathing for him and LOVED that he had to present the medal, though it would have been even better if he were forced to wear an "I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE WESTERN BULLDOGS' sandwich board
