    Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

    How is the irony. A controversy over leaked information. Now leaked information has revealed the true character of Tom Morris, confirming what a lot of us knew deep down. He is a flog of questionable character and basically thinks he is better than everyone else. Absolutely disgusting comments about one of his female work colleagues at Fox Sports.

      Don't rate the statement from the Club. It is just an exercise in appeasement and going through the motions because someone at the AFL wasn't happy. I understand they have to do it, and appreciate Bevo has shown some humility as a leader here but in terms of showing any care for Morris and respect, he doesn't deserve it.

      Keep hearing about this magical line that has been crossed. Quite a nebulous concept.

        Where is the flood of journos speaking out against Morris’s disgraceful conduct? Silence.

          Yes, will be interesting to see if the narrative changes now. Probably all busy trying to get dirt on our club to take a few more shots…
          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            We have to play the game. It’s a reasonable statement in the circumstances and covers all bases / stakeholders while supporting our man and confirming we have his back.

              Reckon there'll be a fair amount of Instagram scrubbing and Whatsapp appeals going on.

              I wonder which of Tom's "mates" leaked the videos?

                Tom Browne reports on Bevo's $1000 fine (half time Channel 7) but no mention of Morris being stood down by Fox. Journalist? Yeah sure. That is weak as.

                    I believe so but not 100% sure. The last thing I heard was "to a charity of his choice". So ... I dunno. Someone will know.

                      Anyone else glad there weren't recordings of their 20 something nights out with mates?

                      Seriously who hoards and then leaks this stuff.

                      An anonymous person who escapes any attention.

                      Does anyone really want Morris to lose his career? I don't.

                      I've never had any issues watching him on the coverage.

                      PS I don't condone it. But blokes talk rubbish at times.

                          Club has handled this well, stating wholehearted support for Bevo whilst acknowledging he overstepped the line and Bevo’s apology timely and well worded. $20k donation to mental health organisation dogs are affiliated with. Let’s move on.
                          Josie :)

                          Our day will come
                          And we'll have everything.
                          We'll share the joy
                          Just like '54 again.

                              He recorded himself saying that and then sent it as a message. That’s is just stupidity of the highest order. I don’t care who you send it to. Once you send it, who knows where it goes.

                                There is rubbish talk and then there is rubbish talk that is clearly sexist and / or racial. That type of talk should be called out, whether public or private. I don’t recall derogatory comments around my circle of friends like what I have heard. Yes there was lots of trash talk but not crossing the line where misogynistic and racial comments are part of the norm.

                                Morris is a toss pot and has been called out for what he is. Bevo overstepped the mark last night but clearly understands the type of scum Morris is. I would love him to lose his job.
