@shark sounds like he may have overreacted a little....but it is more than a game for these guys, its their job...fans need to be reminded its just a game but these guys livelihood depends on the results
slippery slope
This wasn't Morris posting picks of a stolen game plan
This was Morris reporting a guy wasn't going to play. I find it super hard to believe that the early reporting of that was what caused the Dogs to get beat pretty handily.
And to call it "gutter journalism" like he was reporting a story that said player was out because he's been on a meth bender, rather than, you know, form issues, is really weird.
Never have a problem with a coach going in to bat for his players, but this is not the hill to die on.
definitely, hence the over reaction, but it not just a game to these guys...they get paid to try and win

And I think if he'd ever had a real job he'd gain some perspective and realise the early release by a journo of a player not selected, isn't the massive issue he's beating it up to be.

On another note, the Sky guide has finally updated and now I can see they're showing the season opener on Wednesday, yay.
have to say, i woke up this morning, and was actually excited for the game tonight, two teams who i do not care about, but both play good footy.
Unsure about opening the season with a GF rematch, seems like that is a waste of a "blockbuster". But I'll take anything over being forced to watch Richmond pound Carlton
Turns out that didn't happen.

See this in the post game presser? One of the most bizarre rants I've seen from Luke Beveridge. Blew up at Tom Morris at Fox for breaking team news (Lachie Hunter dropped). Went full retard.
'Gutter journalism': Bevo storms out after extraordinary outburst
Luke Beveridge left his post-match media conference early after a crazy outburst
I'm of the opinion that this is one of those manufactured controversies that happen in AFL over a storm in a teacup.

We are living in fucked up times
Covid
War in Europe
Carlton won a game before round 4 -
Just what we needed, an injury plagued start to the season. Imagine losing the fourth quarter to the Blues ffs.
-
did i see 78k crowd?
I know theyre two big clubs and its round one after a messup couple of years...but AFL really is different level support wise
not only huge crowds a huge percent are fully decked in merch etc...you really can see how the AFL have so much money

i know it's only Rd 1, and i didn't watch closely, but from what i read, some huge concerns at Richmond

What a day for us Carlton fans. Feels like a Premiership win.
It wasn't just the result, but the manner of the win. Rolled over them in the 4th and kept going. So unlike anything we ever do.
Cause for much optimism. Cerra looked great, Hewett was very good and we still have Walsh to come back. Hopes of making the 8 actually look realistic.

Favourite comment on the win was: "Voss survives another week"

also, also also
Carlton winning in R1 is not even the best thing that happened yesterday
Bevo loses his shit at Tom Morris after Wednesday's game, everyone goes "whoa bit far there Bevo" and sorta felt sorry for Morris
Inside 24 hours Tom Morris has been stood down by Fox Sports as audio suddenly hits the internet, audio, recorded by Tom Morris, who is obviously an enormous dumb fluffybunny. Seriously, someone in a group chat asks him about someone he works with. And he fucking records a voice message about it. And it contains a joke that, if it went public, would definitely call for an apology. And guess what
There's another one too, and it's just loaded with ammunition against him. He sounds pissed as hell in it.Now, there is a point here that it's fucking shit from whoever leaked it from the chat. Just like every other one of these. You cannot trust anyone. Do not get shit that will be frowned upon on other people's devices.
The guns are loaded, and i think Tom might be fucked.

jesus you must be dizzy
I've never seen two teams turn as many corners as the Wallabies and Carlton

@mariner4life Kouta and Fev are due back in rounds 5383 and 6384 and they'll be premiers

Now that I've heard both recordings, I have zero sympathy for him. Mainly based on the longer one where he essentially says "don't treat me like shit, I'm not Asian, black, gay or a woman" as if these four groups can be treated like shit but a straight white guy is beyond reproach. What a fucking tool. To be honest I'm less concerned about the one where he identifies a co-worker as the hottest woman at Fox, because it's actually quite complimentary, until he gets to the bit where he says it's a shame she's gay: "unfortunately she has her liquor/licker licence and she's really fucking good at it". But that's more a stupid blokey comment which any of us might hear to some degree at work or at the pub at any given time, as opposed to the former comments which indicate a level of bigotry, as well as extreme stupidity. He's clearly sauced but that's no excuse for that sentiment and he just sounds like an out and out piston wristed gibbon.
My guess is one of his 'mates' who maybe isn't so much of a fan, didn't mind the Beveridge spray so when he apologised to Morris, this former mate decided to leak the recordings.

100% agree
His apology is cut.and paste media management too
To follow your comment, of the two recordings it surprises me that the Fox presenter one is getting more traction than the other.

Also has anyone checked on @ACT-Crusader after the Saints got beat by the worst team in the comp?

I see the AFL is still getting shit over starting the season on a Wednesday night. It's certainly a bit strange and even though attendance was down on the traditional season-opener, it was still a record for a game between Melbourne and the Dogs. I like the GF rematch concept although as someone said, the NFL idea of pitting the premiers against an exciting, emerging side is also a goodie. Fair to say though that these two sides have by far the best idea as to where they're at following that game, and the Dees wouldn't have achieved that by virtue of playing anyone else.

Boomfa
Play shit but beat a top 4 side.
