Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
There's enough of a whiff of Gill & Co about that Showdown 'idea' and their knack for misreading the room that I half suspect they're using their lackey to float the notion.
Here's a thing that's cool about the game. Let'$ make it cooler!!

That's exactly what they are doing. The AFeL are about as subtle as a hand shoved down the front of your jocks.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Ironically the year with the worst vitriol was the year we won the flag and Boyd starred.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Damien GrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrub what's his agenda ?
His weekly column, he's basically accusing Luke of assault and of using Tom's situation as an excuse to "leverage his hatred of me". My opinion is ignore this bloke and I'm not sure it needed to be raised again but as an AFL employee I think it's time something was done. Mediation maybe? GrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrubGrub surely had a massive conflict of interest here given he works for the AFL.
--------
Go your hardest, Luke, but leave Boyd out of it
Would prefer to not have to use part of this column to refer to Luke Beveridge's comments on Friday, as I addressed it twice on Triple M and once on Channel Nine over the weekend.
But I would get accused by some of weakly avoiding it if I didn't.
Beveridge's long-winded, personal-hijack reference to a journalist who would "never be forgiven by anyone at our football club" because of "how black that soul is" within an otherwise heartfelt addressing of Tom Boyd's retirement from football was a sad reflection on him, as well as being factually wrong and deeply insulting.
It was the second time in 12 months that Beveridge had used Tom Boyd to leverage his own hatred of me.
Beveridge's dislike of me began in September 2015 when he was riled about my reporting of his handling of the supposed elimination final information exchange between his player Michael Talia and his brother, Daniel Talia, of Adelaide.
Four days after that report, at the Brownlow Medal dinner, he made forceful physical contact with me. It may have been an accident. It may not have been.
The Western Bulldogs lied to me early the following season, Boyd's second at the Bulldogs, when I directly asked about a bar stoush between Boyd and teammate Zaine Cordy.
During that period, Beveridge had been economical with the truth about why Boyd was playing in the VFL.
The very next morning after my inquiries about this matter, and after lying about it, the club issued a media release, conceding it had disciplined Boyd and Cordy.
This was long before Boyd had publicly raised his mental health issues.
I have never questioned any aspect of that part of Boyd's life, and from the moment he kicked his third goal in the 2016 Grand Final, a game in which I felt he should have been rewarded with the Norm Smith Medal, I have regularly stated he had fully paid back the extraordinary money the club used to recruit him as a 19-year-old from GWS.
Go your hardest with your words towards me, Luke, any time you like. That's your right. But stick to facts and leave Tom Boyd out of it.

The fragmented nature of his comments over the years mean, unless you’re close to it, his response makes sense.
Bevo, and all Bulldogs, would do well to ignore him to allow his relevance continue to decrease, then ultimately he’ll be out of a job. Play the long game.

Grubman is disappearing down the dunny of mediocrity and he is desperately trying to cling to anything before the flush button is pressed. He and a few members of the media engaged in a pile on with Tom, the rest (like Leigh Matthews) have realised enough is enough, given they have helped to destroy his career, but Damo doesn't have the intellectual equipment to understand that it's time to stop.
