    I don't think I minded but it was a touch on the childish side but seem to recall I thought Clarko had anger management issues when he punched a hole in a wall.

      I thought it was pretty petulant as well.

      Like I said, if one of our players came in at half time, whacked something out of frustration and broke their hand in the process it would be a different tune. It's a bad look, I wouldn’t be surprised someone in the media starts a story on his anger. He's opened himself up quite a bit in that regard.

        Pretend Barrett/Caro: Bevo can feel the pressure to resign, and as an angry man remember him at the Brownlow medal in 2015. Why else would he be punching poor, self defenceless whiteboards. He’s cracking under the pressure to resign, will he make the season out. Maybe not.


        Bevo should explain what happened and take the oxygen out of it. I wonder who leaked it to the press and why?

          So what if Bevo was talking about a key focus area or message that was written on the whiteboard which wasn't being followed and in making his point has flung his hand back and struck the corner of the whiteboard, and in doing so has injured his hand (the injury is on top of the hand)?

          I would think that the knuckles would be damaged if you punched a whiteboard.

            I think he should make no comments whatsoever on it moving forward, as that is exactly what the bottom-feeders want to keep feeding this non-story.

            What is far more important is your 2nd point. Who the fark is leaking within our club, and cut out that cancer once and for all. Shit clubs leak to the press - have a look at Gold Coast in recent weeks. This is where KW-W and Bains need to get proactive and flush the rat out. Our club should be absolutely watertight, in lock-step and unified from the top down.

              Who said it was from our club?

              He went into hospital and had an operation on Friday. I'm surprise it took this long to surface.

                I actually don't care.

                At least it shows he cares. If anything I've wondered if he's hard enough on the group.

                  How did they know it was half time? How did they know it was a white board? How did they know it was a deliberate punch? How did they know his state of mind? (Ie anger) Not all that many would know the finer details. But the media do somehow.

                    That's a fair call and I hope that is the case.

                    We leaked in the lead-up to the 2021 GF with that "Freed From Desire" debacle that Melbourne then rubbed in our faces after they won the GF. Exposing a motivational song/theme might seem like small potatoes but I hated it - that stuff is inner sanctum and precious to team and club, and the leaker had no right to divulge anything.

                      The game was shown on the public broadcaster. As soon as you hear his hand was broken you go and look for footage. His hand blew up and bruised during the game.

                      They are reporting it was a whiteboard, they are reporting he was angry.

                      Could be true, could all be assumptions.

                        So do I.

                        Yes, I did forget about the Freed from desire debacle...

                          Totally agree. I really don't understand the angst, soul searching and hand wringing (ouch) being indulged in by certain posters on this site.

                                By me you mean? I'm the only one who really took exception to it and debating it. Would it be better if I congratulated him on a violent outburst? Would that make you feel better? It was stupid, I'll stand by that. He should know better.
