General off-season footy chat

[bloodspirit]

There's nothing about Dawson. It only follows a few agents and players. The players include: Luke Dunstan, Bobby Hill, Rory Lobb, Jeremy Finlayson.

The third of three episodes focuses on the draft including Jason Horne-Francis, Taylor Sonsie, Matthew Johnson.

There's only one scene with Logan McDonald in the whole series.

It's not especially interesting. Don't go out of your way to see it.

Thanks bloodspirit. I reckon I'll give it a miss

It's called "Show Me The Money". On Stan

Thanks - no “Stan” n this side of the ditch

Reckon the doco makers thought it would be really good when they conceived it, then it turned into really nothing, but having spent the money they aired it anyway.

It needed to feature the great Dodoro and gun 2020 List Manager Ned Guy to raise a level of interest.

I remember during the off season there was a debate about the merits of Tom Morris as a journalist, and I was firmly in the camp of him being a doofus.

This is one of the most humiliating attempts to cover getting a story wrong I’ve seen. He’s a doofus.

Yes, I reckon the chances of Tom Morris getting an AFL story right, is roughly the same as a mad uncle accurately predicting the future, by bloodily sacrificing a goat and reading its entrails.

Swans fans have met there for years and years pre and post game.

I think Beveridge might not be a fan of Tom Morris… decent spray he gave him in the post match tonight

Just saw it. Decent spray doesn’t do it justice.

I’m sure the one thing we can all agree on is: in a war between the Dogs and Tom Morris, we can all just sit back and enjoy the extensive collateral damage.

Pass the popcorn?

Very proud of Tom Morris for standing his ground against Beveridge.

Who the hell does Beveridge think he is telling Morris that he can’t be in a press conference?

Tony Jones said on channel 9 that Morris was factually correct in all that he wrote on the Bulldogs this week.

Maybe get Morris and a cameraman to set up outside Beveridge’s house and see if he can hold himself together.

I’m not a big fan of journos a lot of the time as they all too often report inaccurately with stuff all accountability.

But if a journo gets their facts right, then they’ve done their job. A public dressing down in a derogatory manner isn’t called for and Bevo should be sanctioned. Bevo was brutal. Workplace harassment. If anyone spoke to Bevo like that when he underperformed as a coach, he would arc up big time.

No wonder they are the Western Bullies

Yes! Yes, Tom should do just that, because that would escalate the situation further and cause even more grief for both parties.

I mean, we need more self-righteous media types forming a virtuous circle that we can all mock, AND we need Beveridge to lose it even more.

He should go on the attack against not just Morris - perhaps like one of those scenes we used to see in A Current Affair, when some poor besieged bugger charges out of their front door screaming at the media and telling them to get off their lawn and threatening them with a cricket bat or some comical weapon - but create more disharmony at the Dogs by naming whom he believes the leaker to be too.

That would be awesome.

I don’t think Bevo’s outburst can be considered workplace harassment. Both parties work for different workplaces.

I think Morris can be a big problem for Bevo. Someone is leaking to Morris and will now continue to leak even more. I assume the person leaking is not on Bevo’s team. Morris will keep getting the leaked info and will grind Bevo into the ground.

I think the other journalists in the press conferences will now not ask any questions and leave the floor totally open for Morris to ask all questions of Bevo.

[i'm-uninformed2]

I think there is still enormous untapped potential here.

Isn't the Dogs' President a senior executive at Disney, with its vast media and entertainment reach?

She could organise a whole series here to drag it out. Episodes focused on the leaker's back story and what motivated them to do it; episodes focused on Luke Beveridge's evolution from harmless eccentric to cranky man (a la his mentor, Clarko); episodes focused on how the media are hypocrites by piling into Beveridge for invoking mental health during the presser to questioning Beveridge's mental health two minutes later; episodes focused on how much Tom's mom smiles every time he's on TV.

A blockbuster in the making!
