    She should be doing a story on why Richmond lost to West Coast. Some serious choking there.

      Excellent call out re the fantasy football folks, however, I'd be surprised if a lot of the vitriol wasn't driven by the multi-bet gamblers out there as well.

        Good piece and we need more balanced analysis like this in the media.

            The only thing I want sacked more than Bevo is the entire concept of fantasy sports.

              You must want that pretty badly then.

                Yeah he (meaning Bevo) isn’t without blame but the extent to which people on multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars a year can get out of actually doing their job by saying Coach Bad is infuriating.

                Why is it so hard to blame players for playing badly. What if there isn’t a bunch of behind the scenes forces working against Jack Macrae and instead he’s just not as good as he used to be? What if it isn’t brutally unfair on Bailey Dale to be dropped and instead it was brutally unfair on the rest of the team that he got like 25 chances in a row to prove he doesn’t suck now?

                I guess you would actually need to watch the games to pick up on stuff like this.

                  I get the sentiment but i reckon ours is better.

                      Board meeting that was scheduled for round 8 has been bought forward and is happening tomorrow morning.
                      Also a bit of talk that we've scheduled a press conference as well although I cannot find anything concrete on that.

                      Wait and see.

                      Handful of people on BigFooty and Facebook WB Groups running with the news that Bevo has been axed as of tonight - but - literally nothing-whispers at the moment.

                        See this is why I can't trust you. You said there was only ONE thing you wanted more than Bevo sacked and now you're increasing that by 100%.

                          I reckon in a lot of minds this is your last chance Vred!

                          Nah, thanks for the update, let's see how it goes. I said earlier in this thread I felt Friday was a coach killler either this week or next.

                            M8 I'd never stake anything on our board moving on Bevo, I'd almost get the feeling they'd schedule a press conference tomorrow morning to announce another contract extension for him so he can continue to ''evolve'' our list without ''the thought of a contract''. I do not trust anyone in charge at our club.

                            I reached out to my player-manager buddy tonight and he is just as perplexed as to what's happening at our club then anyone else.

                            Pretty sure the presser tomorrow was mentioned quickly on one of the footy shows tonight although I haven't watched through them all yet.

                                Presser tomorrow is just the standard media appearance. Sigh. Back to hoping we evolve into a better version of ourselves this week.

                                My love of football is seriously waning at the moment, I've got tickets sorted for at least 7 of our next games but the motivation to go and watch isn't there anymore.
