Bevo lashes out at Barrett

[jeemak]

Now He’s come out and had a go at Beverage for inferring he was questioning depression in the original article

I couldn’t actually read anywhere where he mentioned what he was referring to though

What would he be inferring then? We're hiding Boyd from Gawn because we don't want our $1M per year man having his pants pulled down - because he or we just couldn't handle it? Or, Boyd isn't coping mentally and we're giving him a spell?

Unfortunately people like Damian thrive on attention. Best to ignore, give him no oxygen. I respect Luke's protective response however.

I suspect that's roughly what Bevo has in mind.

Certainly for Damo's tyres at the very least ...

And therein lies the problem with his argument. By not providing clear context as to what he was actually talking about and apologising for any inference to it, he continues to leave himself open.

Either provide clear context as to what you actually were trying to say, or apologise so that we can move on.

I heard Barrett on the radio this morning on SEN, he was talking about Boyd having a badly broken finger for the last month, and he was referring to that.

Now that's fantastic and all, but he very well knows his choice of words, and he should have mentioned that.

However to me what the worst thing he has done, is not admitted his mistake and see/listen to others how it could have been taken to refer to his mental issues and be taken in that context. Its the first thing everyone would think of, given Toms medical history.

I'm sorry Damien, but you've failed a basic test of anyone with integrity and decency, its an incredibly sensitive issue and words hurt people a lot when they are battling with that demon.

You're spot on ReLoad - and plenty of people online share our view. Feels really obvious...and the broken finger excuse feels a bit like would/wouldn't to me.

He's a soulless windbag in fight or flight mode. Hope the club backs Bevo in here should it escalate further.

Sounds an awful lot like the way he squirmed out of any responsibility during the Barry Hall fiasco.

Comfortably the shittest person involved in the AFL, and the beauty of that assertion is that there would be 99.999% consensus from all supporters.

It's not as if it's a small pool either, there's plenty of shite to choose from.

Wow, as cop outs go, that's particularly pitiful.

There could only have been one or two inferences from what Barrett alleged. He was either implying that Boyd's mental health issues had pulled him out of the game and not the back injury, or he was implying that Boyd wasn't injured at all, that there was nothing at all keeping him out of the game, and Bevo was throwing Roughead to the wolves in order to bolster a case to offload him at year's end.

Spineless journalism either way.

[Topdog]

That doesnt pass the sniff test

[LostDoggy]

Total BS. Why would the club say it’s back if it’s a finger. How would that be news worthy?

It’s a blatant lie, everyone with a bit of footy knowledge knows what he meant. Scum.

The guy is a real FW. He had the opp on his finger and played the following week.

[Rocket Science]

Not only does this cretinous germ continue to squirm deeper into this shit-mound of his own making...

“He’s dragged his own player, Tom Boyd, into this situation, as leverage in his own dispute and dislike of me.

“There is no reference to what he said there was, there was no inference to what he said there was.

“We know that he had been struggling from a back injury but what we don’t know is what the Bulldogs have been failing to tell us, is he’s also been suffering with and struggling with a badly broken finger."

Silly us. It's actually his coach who threw Boyd under the bus ... But Damo's now attempting to cower behind bizarre falsehoods and play people for morons. We've been so clandestine about Tom's finger injury it was universally reported post-game and even plainly stated on the club's f*cking website you shrieking titbiscuit.

"Lukas Webb (thumb) and Tom Boyd (finger) are set to be sidelined despite playing out the match ... Boyd played on with dislocated finger ..."

[Twodogs]

We had a long discussion about what a compound dislocation of the finger looks like and talked about the funny colour Mantis' captain turned when it happened to him playing cricket one day.

They mentioned it during the commentry of the game.

Option 2 is what I got out of it. I’ll admit to not thinking mental health was part of the conversation until Bevo mentioned it.
