    Re: Bevo v Barrett

    I thought it was a bit of a non event to be honest. Just Bevo having a bit of a go back at Barrett as he obviously didn't like the way it came out and perhaps the biased view but I've seen far more awkward from coaches like Malthouse on that show.

    I think I've totally switched off this show in the last year. It's so formulated with it's segments and reviews. You know that whatever team has a bad week is going to cop criticism like they are too old, this is a real problem for them, dire predictions, look at this vision of joe blow with his hands on his hips, here's some stats over the last month that reveal a shocking trend, etc etc. Then there is the opposite for a team that wins big.

    It's like listening to fox fm, you just hear the same bs repeated every time you tune in.

    There is never any voice of reason or understanding both angles, they are either completely on one side or the other to try and force an argument or point before the buzzer beeps and then they do the same for the next topic.

      Caroline Wilson obviously doing it hard with the cut-backs at TheAge. Luckily her Grandmother still has some shirts she can borrow.

I'd simply just block Barrett off out media list. The stitch up on Libba last year, plus one a month, plus this. Don't talk to him, he can't slag us anymore as a result.
        Yes he can, he will just make it up.

          Re: Bevo v Barrett

          Reading lots of opinion on the interwebs today, I watched it. To be honest, I was very underwhelmed, was expecting a massive blow up. Good on Bevo for shutting Barrett down with the "Talk to Denis Bicer" line, but as for the rest, I don't think it was that big a deal. As for his stance on the EFC saga, I didn't agree. I'm very firmly of the view that you take the rap for whatever is in your system. Yes, the club let them down, but for mine it comes back to their sheep-like blindly following orders.

              This was my reaction, too.

              Not a lot in it, not surprising it went there and as always, Luke handled himself in an assured manner and played a straight bat.

                I recorded it last night and watched it this morning. I didn't really see a lot in the confrontation but it's clear Bevo doesn't rate Barrett.

                I thought Bevo could have handled it a bit better but it was pretty tame from my perspective.

                    Nobody rates Barrett

                    Bevo was superb. I think Caro deserves a serve for leading the discussion the way it went. Yet if Bevo went for her all hell would break loose. He was clearly being led into a bust up and played it as diplomatically as one could under the circumstances and took aim at Barrett. If I were Barrett I'd make a dash for the fire escape next time Bevo appeared in the hallway.

                      And Caro gets the chocolates from her colleagues for asking the high risk, testy questions no one wants to ask. Barrett shit himself when the question came out. Barrett is a nobody. Bevo is a tactical genius, a past player of the club, he skateboards, has big guns and will be only our second premiership coach. He has everything going for him, who cares about Parrot?
                      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                        I loved the way Bevo told Barrett to his face that he was mistaken in thinking he has some right to phone Beveridge when he feels like it.

                              That was pretty funny. The most annoying thing Bevo could have done right then was lecture Barrett about Western Bulldogs media contact hierarchy. So he did.

                                Her fashion sense is more of an assault than anything Barrett can muster.
