And if you hit the report button without due cause again today you can take a holiday. Seriously.
If he's clicked it for no reason then fair enough, but honest question: has the only other time he pressed it for "we should spit on our team as a they walk off" post?

Joke or not, I think it's a fair enough use of the report button. I wasn't offended by it, but it is the kind of bullshit that gets taken out of context by media outlets: "on the Bigfooty website, some bulldogs supporters were saying they should spit on their players after the Carlton loss". We know it's Scrag being Scrag, but others might not.

And I'm largely anti-censorship, but i think the general rule is, regardless of whether humour was intended, is that the promotion of physical violence is where the line should be.

He's hit the report button numerous times tonight...and many other nights.

I have just read all the posts in this thread and can understand supporters being disappointed. However, there are a few posters who need to have as good look at themselves for posting some woeful comments on here about club and personnel.

And the ones who have stated the coach is arrogant .... maybe you should investigate the meaning of this word. Are you saying the coach is arrogant because he doesnt respond to direction from Big Footy forum posters? Give me a break ..... he is the head coach for god sake. He may be making strange decisions that some of us dont agree with, but arrogant is simply not an appropriate analogy, unless he is making decisions without heeding the input from the match committee or his assistant coaches.

So yep, you may be peed off .... but how about using some tolerance before teeing off at the very people that make our club what it is.
Yeah they are making our club shit. Wake up mate

I know everyone is jumping on Dunkley, but trust me, don’t. He’s a gun. A dead set gun. He just needs to be played in the midfield not in the ****n ruck.
Gee some overate our player, whilst I like Dunkley he is not and never will be a gun player or onballer as he can’t deliver the ball. He is a workhorse that’s it. For what is worth I would play him in defence as the stopper dale Morris role

Went to the game today. Promised myself I would remain serene and not lose my sh*t this time. Picked a perfect game for it!

Wow...truly horrendous match. A couple things I noticed today was the sheer lack of spread from us. That unwillingness to run also displayed itself when we need to chase defensively or run back to cover men. I don’t think the boys are as slow as they looked...there looked to be a serious lack of desire, especially from mid way through the third. I can understand Carlton being up for the game but their efforts really highlighted our lack of the same.

In previous games the lack of height didn’t kill us as it did today. I think previously under the high ball we had one defender engage the man while another flew to either spoil or mark. That barely happened today. Three reasons...1. they got the ball in quickly 2. The lack of work from most players to run in and support a team mate and 3. They had too many talks for us to effectively cover (Mackay, Spud Casboult and McGovern with the porn moustache). We had Cordy. Shorter and lighter than all of them. A recipe for disaster which it turned out to be.

La Young should never have been selected...he was a mile off the pace. I thought Hays was barely passable only because he was a first gamer. He is not ready yet either. If we needed to play these guys then our depth is so poor we are genuinely stuffed.

Unfortunately all of these issues are due to coaching, recruitment (huge structural holes in our list you could drive a truck through) and player effort /ill discipline. Either way not easy to fix.

Anyhoo after Freo makes a mess of us in Perth we have Richmond. Given the general scumbag nature of Richmond supporters and the extreme likelihood we lose by 100 points I’m seriously contemplating giving it a miss. My 11 year old will probably talk me into it though. I’m such a sucker. I will try to remain serene again. Might listen to some ocean sounds during the game...could help.

Even I agreed that he needed to be moved and wasn’t unhappy to see him go on but wouldn’t Roughy be handy now.
He wouldn't get a game. Not a defender in the coaches mind and a ruckman who we didn't need. Same as TC, let him go to norf. Zordy in defence is going well, an attacking force - 6 possessions, 1 mark today, last week 1 kick and 7 handpasses. Bring in La young, he knows how to attack from defence something that Roberts apparently lacks. Obviously Fletch is not in the incrowd.

To play devil's advocate, you joked about running down Jong in the parking lot. It's either both are jokes, or neither are
And got a warning for it AND said LOL after it making it VERY CLEAR I WAS joking knowing what people would think coming from me about Jong. Not one person had an issue with it on the page and it got several likes.

But yep they are the same obviously. In the end I have one rule and some have others so that’s cool I will live by those rules as I said.

Anyway somehow this shit has become about me again so yay

Was disappointed to see such a pathetic display but not surprised in the same context. We have massive holes across our ruck stocks, backline and forward line and when you’re relying on playing guys like Daniel in pivotal positions it’s not going to work out. Lots of plodders and untried players getting a game and you don’t replace the quality and decision making of MBoyd and DMorris by clutching at straws and hoping things will magically improve. However, it’s an enjoyable long weekend away from the rat race and I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

The coach should be sacked.
IF THIS WERE AN EFFORT FROM A CLUB LIKE REAL MADRID, BOCA JUNIORS, OR BARZA THIS GUY IS ON HIS ARSE TWO WEEKS AGO. HE IS DRINKING HIS OWN BATH WATER. NOT SURE WHAT HE IS ON ABOUT OUR BEVO. IN BEVO I TRUST???? PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME, MAN, PLEASE!!!

It’s strange that we keep players on the list Bev has no intention of playing and others that shouldn’t be he has some weird liking for.

He seems to get an idea in his head and that’s it there is zero changing it.

In the end if we have, as I suspect, an awful year this year the club needs to do a complete overhaul of all assistants and football staff and force Bev to get differing opinions. Give him that for next year and see if we improve.

With The list we have and a couple more very low picks we should be naturally improving with just sheer talent but if that doesn’t happen again next year then perhaps his time is up. Resigning him would be a massive mistake now

I see you trying to sneak Boca in between the two biggest clubs in the world.

For a supposed elite man manager he is certainly playing favourites, not a trait to be followed if you want to win. Then there is his snow white plan with the back six, that is going really well.

Not in our line up. Collingwood are a good side and can cover his deficiencies. We couldn’t.
Hear what you are saying but it would be nice to have someone over 193cm in our backline.
The fact we let him and Adams go in one off season without bringing in another key defender is very poor list management IMO

I wonder why Monty, Dalrymple and co have moved on and it appears for 3 years now we are going backwards. Can Bevo not tolerate anyone who challenges his view? Not sure and have no sources to confirm. I do think however he has an exaggerated sense of his own ability.

I mean, Scrag posts like 90% satire so I'm not sure how he somehow isn't joking but you are? Both at same level surely
