Lets hear about it?

Are the Crows being on top of the ladder the biggest surprise this season?

[Bornadog]

Bloody Cats will be top 4 again Three easy matches to finish the season - Essendon, Sydney and Tigers. Maybe Sydney at the SCG can do some damage

Where does Bevo rate for ignoring Roaming Brian?

I'm sure he has his reasons, in his head or otherwise.

It could be something to do with Taylor himself, or it could have been the broader Ch7 he was saying he didn't like. I could understand a case for both.

There I was thinking Brian Lake was back on the mic

I think my soapbox for this week goes to Kiiiiiingy, after his first crack last night.

Basically he says we can't win it due to our defensive malaise. Which is fine, I tend to agree with him, but if that's his first crack at this point of the year he's been missing the point for a while.

Additionally, we just kept the form side of the competition that was coming into the game having won six on the trot and averaging 107 points per game to just 44 points, meaning of all the times the dickhead could have raised it as his first crack this round would possibly be the dumbest (note, the only teams we've kept to lower scores were Essendon and Port).

So instead of piquing his interest, this game reinforced his beliefs we're a front half only side due to our massive scoring capabilities and need to do everything we can to bolster our defence as it's incapable of limiting scoring.

Of course nobody called him on it, why would they?

[Bulldog Joe]

The Bevo thing may have been more innocent than portrayed.

He did say he was committed to an interview with Fox and that actually occurred.

[jeemak]

Not a soapbox moment, but you've got to love the cuteness of the art department kid putting the sound together for the round's highlight's to Pendulum's ABC theme remix on AFL 360.

Ch7 has responded in its usual sanctimonious way:

Wilson wants Beveridge sanctioned for refusing to an off the cuff interview request. She might find out coaches are obligated to perform interviews at their own discretion, outside of the mandated press conferences. I mean if she did her research............

[GVGjr]

How about Channel7 get their own house in order. They know there is a problem so what have the done about it?
Bevo should have given him a minute or 2 but why should we bend to help them?

He does his pressers and fronts the media as obligate and does TV shows when he can so Roaming Brian is just an over and above request that he can ignore.

Has Caroline Wilson forgotten how Sam Newman treated her? It's okay to push back when someone disrespects you.

Apparently Caro called Kylie and Ameet puppets, saying Bevo was the CEO of the club and that she was just told what to do. And he made all the decisions.

Dogs are very upset over this.

So…are they going to actually do anything?

Wilson has been criticising Bevo from the bleachers all year - and for YEARS. It really does seem personal.

why do we just take it??
