Dogs' 'serious concern' after Beveridge outburst and the ugly fallout - Footy Classified

[@tysonchappel7272]

What a hypocritical and disgusting thing to do, criticise Bevo’s professionalism, then in the same conversation tear someone down for their physical appearance, this is the type of journalism that shouldn’t be welcome in sports, nothing to do with anything other than to harm an individual’s mental health for something unrelated to the sport

[@victoryline5689]

This is just Current Year journalism but it's fully spread to sports now. Half truths/lies, biased opinions, weak criticism and crying like toddlers as soon as someone fires back. They can dish it out but can't take an ounce of it back.

[@StuTheDon17]

It's the sort of thing Bevo was criticising Morris for doing. Gutter journalism.

[@GG-kc6ie]

Luke sets himself up for criticism with his separatist approach to the competition that employs him. He's hopeless at handling the media and his rants and mishandlings of said media over the years are an embarrassment.

[@tysonchappel7272]

@@GG-kc6ie No matter how much the guy is bad at handling the media it doesn't mean they should take digs at his appearance, he has never missed a press conference after a game and he was out of line for his dig at Morris yes, however he criticised the man's professionalism in how he went about his job, here they're criticising the man's appearance, absolutely disgusting no matter how you cut it

[@aroy8094]

Serious talking about his moustache ? Fair to say this is the kind of crap bevo was referring to in regards to gutter journalism

[@Premiumalltheway]

Bevo is supporting his club and his players. I have nothing but respect for him to go out and publicly scrutinise journalists and stick up for his club. A good coach no matter the internal problems will always back his players in public and I respect him for that. Bevo I believe is probably the most genuine coach in the AFL, he cares about his players and his club and how they are being portrayed in the media. This footy classified segment is toxic in itself and the type of media bashing that Bevo is against, how pathetic in 2022 judging a coach by his look and that seems to correlate to his professionalism to coach his side? That's ridiculous... And I can tell you this a lot of coaches/players/AFL staff have these views on the media, however they can’t say anything because of this whole cancel culture world we are living in where if the majority of the people don’t agree with you, then you will be axed. Bevo ain’t afraid of that and I applaud it. The bottom line is Bevo is one of the most selfless coaches to back his players in public against any journalist or headline, that is a sign of a coach that cares about his club. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Bevo.

[@tubester4567]

You can protect your players without being personal in attacks. Its the media's job to find out whats going on at clubs and who is playing or has been dropped. Attacking a journalist for reporting that a player has been dropped, is a little nutty.

[@paulmcgrory5165]

So John Kennedy would react like that? He is an embarrassment to his club. His resignation from the Coaches Association says it all. The bloke is a narcissist.

[@deanoss777]

Looks have always correlated with professionalism. Most common jobs tell you to maintain a certain level appearance especially with regards to facial hair. If appearances didn’t matter, you wouldn’t see everyone wearing expensive suits to functions.

[@deanoss777]

Also he can “back his players” without crossing the line which he did

[@terrythekittieful]

Spot on. Clarkson was another, fiery, but a players coach through and through and the four premierships speak volumes. Love to see Beveridge snag another premiership (and I'm not a'dog's supporter) before his coaching days are over, if only to shut up these clowns (Lloyd excepted).

Exactly. Imagine if someone critiqued a female journalist, or coach/player's appearance. They would be cancelled and called a misogynist. Same with the Tom Morris incident, someone should ask Caro if she has ever participated in workplace gossip?? Its even more hilarious when most of women specific entertainment like magazines is based on celebrities and gossip. Its a weird world right now.

[@lukedelromano8355]

AFL media is a joke. They seem to not have an issue bringing down the person who leaked the video (which everyone should agree was the right thing to do), but don’t take a hard stand against fellow journalist Tom Morris, double standards.

[@aaaaab5909]

leaking the video isnt the right thing to do, megan got caught up unfairly. The reason it even got leaked was because he had a falling out with the friend and it was leaked with the intent of getting back

@@lukedelromano8355 funny though how this whole thing started because Bevo didn’t agree with leaking private information without notifying the club first, all the journalists said “we have no obligation to give courtesy” yet when it harms one of their own, the leaker should’ve gone directly to FOX and not leak it

[@cameron7603]

I’m not a Bulldogs fan, but really, the pre-season growth of a moustache is being used as a diagnostic measure of the psychological temperament of a coach based on one press conference?
