Of course I'm kidding. Love Bevo's response. He's not afraid to call it the way that it is rather than a political response.
    All of which is leading to the main event at Wrestlemania?

      Damo is clearly upset he can't pick up his phone and call Luke, he has to call the media manager to arrange a chat.

      It's clear Barrett has taken an issue with Bevo and uses his position to try and have a crack at him at every attempt. Given the esteem I feel Bevo is held in around footy clubs, hopefully this leads more football people to steer clear of Barrett.
      Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

          It's apparently disgusting to publicly question umpiring. But OK to publicly question your own player about what he said to his brother

          Pretty childish from the twerp. Not really comparable situations his axe is blunt so he's going to grind it. There isn't any other person alive who I'd like to punch in the face more.

            Bevo's dig is at the integrity of the Adelaide Football Club, thinly veiled in retaliation to their treatment of Cheney and use of team sensitive information leading up to the EF last year.

            Barrett reacting in the way he has leaves no doubt that this is the case. Pretty sure Bevo would have let a few sources know the AFC can eat shit on this one and have very little doubt how he feels about them.

            Last year the AFC experienced one of the largest out-pouring's of solidarity in grief for their slain coach in horrible circumstances from within the football community, and within six months they hang out one of their own to dry subsequent to a cheating controversy in which their integrity is called into question. They proved themselves anything but a community oriented club in doing so and have burned a considerable amount of goodwill throughout the process. Their performance this week just adds to it.

            As an aside, Don Pike was a little twat as a player and he seems to be the same type of coach. He's always needed his head knocked down his jumper.

              Barrett merely underlining what a petulant, vindictive dolt he is by attempting to publically goad a widely respected head coach.

              And to what end other than petty spite? What a laughable wretch.

                I agree. I don't get it! I'm far too busy watching my Stringer highlights reel to care about any of this.

                  Good work from our CEO.
                  The Bulldogs are one of several clubs boasting players who have become expert at drawing free kicks for high tackles. The club is leading the AFL in free kicks this season and on Saturday night saw one umpire award 17 free kicks to the Crows' one.

                    Jenkins came out publicly and canned his own players tackling techniques, and their lack of contest wins .
                    It's an insult to our players and their winning the footy skills to condem the officiating .
                    Barrett's had an issue with our club for quite a while now, and he's a grub of the lowest kind

                          Hunter is a fair addition.

                          Dickson embellishes frequently but I haven't ever felt he is one to duck in the Shuey / Selwood mould. Stager more than ducker, perhaps?

                            Barrett repeated his shot at Bevo in his sliding doors column.

                            There's a great scene toward the end of Finding Nemo where Marlin and Dory are holding on to avoid being "eaten" by a whale.

                            Dory, who is translating for the Whale, says "its time to let go".

                            Someone should show that clip to Barrett.

                              I sent a tweet to him along the same lines. I suggest all bulldog supporters do same.
