Always Right Match Committee Round 14 v GWS at Giant Stadium on Saturday Night

[GVGjr]

I honestly haven’t caught up with his comments.

By the end of next round it is likely we will be sitting 10th. Simply put, not good enough.

As I have previously said, I don't mind listen to the opinions of Kane Cornes (and I enjoy reading yours for that matter) but they have both drawn the same observation and I'll pay some more attention to it now.

[GVGjr]

I bet Cordy

I tend to agree.

[GVGjr]

What I am saying is he needs to dominate at VFL. He is the same age as English, but doesn't have his talent. Dominate VFL and show that you are good enough to be in the AFL

I'm not sure dominating in the VFL is a requirement for a promotion, it probably should be, but plenty of players seem to get the call up after couple of decent games.

I think he’s carrying a grudge because Bevo said he doesn’t know how his wife can sleep next to him at night more so than the PF itself.

For what it's worth, Bevo shouldn't make those type of comments. I like that he shares more than many other coaches but making comments that involve the wife of someone you are pushing back on should be avoided.

Probably, but also how much of a hater do you have to be to watch that Semi Final and have your take away be how poorly one single player on the winning team played? Kind of sums Cornes and his approach to media work and life up.

Ahhh, I forgot that one. That was after he took swipes at Treloar right?

He seems to black list people he can't deal with by ignoring them and then insulting them publicly.

Leadership is dealing with difficult people with professionalism and thats what I'd much rather see from him.

It makes me wonder if he struggles with strong counter points in general.

I'm not a Cornes hater but I don't really enjoy that style of journalism either.

It's a good point you raise. I'm sure our assistants challenge him but I think they would mostly need to tread a fine line.

Regarding Cornes, it's about acknowledging that there is a mix of nonsense and good observations and working out which ones are worth listening to.

It was a bit of a pile on too just re-reading that article.

These ex-footballer journalists are pretty lazy, they get spoon fed some vision on a platter and run with it like it was the entire match.

I think Bevo has black listed Fox Footy after Morris said he had the full backing of his employer. Only coach who hasn't been on coaches night on AFL360. Some have been on 2 or 3 times.

Interesting convo on a MC thread but I will say I have no issue with Bevo blacklisting the media. The AFL media are gross. they will knowingly go someone with mental health issues. I find it extremely toxic.

The possible/probable issue I have with Bevo and 'blacklisting' though is when it comes to those who matter, those within the four walls, the players. It does seem he can write off players a bit. Idk if fact or fiction, whether he has moved on, whether the list is all Bevo types now etc but that's my issue.

[Rocco Jones]

I used to know someone who worked for The Footy Show (she hated it ha). Bevo blacklists/ignores on values too. I am not a 100% Bevo fan and just one example but it was about values of the show. I guess the stand is very different depends on POV you take. Tom Browne, The Footy Show... more acceptable to some and vile to others. I am in the latter camp.

I don't watch any of the footy shows.

AFL360 is ruined by Slobbo and the others are all the boys club.

I agree I hate the AFL media, however for many members this is a normalised source of connection to the game and their club. So it's a necessary evil and I think the head coach, being probably the main face of the team needs to be able to live in that world.

I do worry about that behaviour internally too.
