Has Morris done something untoward here? That's next level anger.
Post match interviews in the heat of the moment are fraught with danger.
Bevo is copping it big time from all the journalists.

It was not a good look for Bevo. You don't really want to take on the fourth estate on in that manner. They all stick together and go for you. There is smarter ways to handle that. Revenge is dish best served cold. Poor from Bevo IMHO.

Good on Bevo. Release some pressure.

Tom Morris is a flog.

Agree. Tom Morris is a Melbourne Grammar flog born with a silver spoon lodged up his backside. No doubt. But Bevo could have handled it better IMHO.

Bevo off a very, very long run. (Paraphrasing.)

“You have the nerve to ask me a question and even be here. You have been praying on us the last two times. You barrack for Melbourne Tom Morris. You have been opening us up causing turmoil in our football club by declaring our team well before it needs to be declared. Is that the way Fox want you to operate? Is that the gutter journalist you want to be? It is the team you barrack for. There is a conflict of interest. You gutter journalist is killing us behind the scenes".

"Mate you are not welcome."

"This bloke here is giving everyone a bad name. You are an embarrassment."

Bevo would not give him a right of reply and then proceeded to walk out of the presser.

I can't see what being a Demons fan has to do with it really.

And if you're blaming a journo for upsetting a professional sports teams apple cart you're probably not thinking straight.

However. Leaking a clubs secrets prior to a game is pretty low. So I've got no respect for Morris. But this is a fight Bevo can't win.
BTW Mick Malthouse also had a moustache and was angry with the media...! Just saying.

Is Bevo jumping on a grenade for the players here. No one will mention the game xD

He’s an emotional man.

I like that he wears his heart in his sleeve at times like this. Let’s see what comes of it, but clear there’s a bit of work to do internally to slow the leaks of information and hopefully this is another us v them piece we can build on over the season.

Year just got more interesting in the very least!

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

Below is a transcript of the press conference.

Morris: Talk us through the events of the last few days with a few players, JJ, Martin, Lachie Hunter in and out of the team, Melbourne were similar as well. Is that just normal Round 1 preparation to be uncertain of how you’re going to prepare?

Beveridge: You’ve got the nerve to ask me a question, and even be here? You’ve been preying on us the last two times.

You barrack for Melbourne, you’ve been preying on us. You’ve been opening us up, causing turmoil within our football club by declaring our team well before it needs to be declared. Is that the way Fox want you to operate? Is that the gutter journalist you want to be?

Other than JJ coming out in the warm-up, everything was according to plan from the Sunday, which somehow you’ve found out about again, so we need to get to the bottom of this.

Obviously we need to put our hand up and say there’s some leakage going on, but you’re preying on it, and it’s a team you barrack for, your conflict of interest here is considerable. Your gutter journalism at the moment is killing us behind the scenes.

This is why the health and wellbeing of people in the game is caught up in this, because we’ve got things to concentrate on performance-wise, we’ve got to look after our own and then you cause all this muckraking trash that happens behind the scenes and names get caught up into it, and all we’re doing is planning for a football game. Are you proud of your self?

Morris: Yes, absolutely. Fox backs me.

Beveridge: Wow. That’s enough, next question please. Next question, mate, you’re not welcome.

Morris: This is the AFL’s press conference.

Beveridge: Yeah, OK, well I think we’ve got enough boys and girls. I think we’re probably done, aren’t we?
So this is what happens, because I know Sam Edmund does it, many of you, if you found something out you’d ring (the club) and say look, I know this, just to know that you know, something’s happened, it’s got out, and courtesy and integrity and the ethical way to go about it has happened in the past.

And this bloke here and what he’s doing is giving everybody else a bad name, and right when we’re trying to stabilise our competition and what we do, with everything that’s gone on behind the scenes, and us as coaches and a football program with the soft cap situation as it is, and this sort of stuff happens.

You’re an embarrassment to what you do, mate. You’re an embarrassment.

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

Just remember the constant hounding of Tom Boyd by journos, and in the end it wasn't good for his mental state.

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

Of course Fox backs him he's just created the best theatre they could've ever wished for.
More eyes, more ads consumed, more dollars, more Tom Morris'.

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

I like it. I mean, the nonsense about selection and all the questioning about things that will be revealed a few hours later, or asking questions he’s already answered (last year…JUH). When he gets the chance, swing and swing hard.

Us vs Them. All of them. Go dogs!

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

Dissapointed with the result tonight but it is only Round 1. That 2nd quarter was great. Need to play like that consistently throughout the whole game. I liked the games of Macrae, Dunks, English, Treloar, Bailey Smith and Naughton.

I was worried with how we started the match but we responded very well. 3rd quarter we did not score and lapsed back into old ways and I was hoping the final quarter we would find something more but it wasnt to be. Onto the Blues back at home next Thursday.

Go Bevo!

Go Dogs!

He is a bigger flog than I even realised.

Re: WB Game Day V Melbourne R1 2022

I've been critical of Bevo in the past, and I still don't agree or like some of the things he does/says... But if the club comes out and issues an apology, or force Bevo to apologise, we'll have much bigger problems.

The club need to back Bevo, wear any fines, and find the leak.

This could go pretty pear shaped quickly and if we don't support Bevo, I could see him walking.

Did Bevo overreact? Probably, but Morris, Browne, Barrett and co continually chase the negative stories and have no regard for ethical practices. Let's call it out.
