General off-season footy chat

The irony of him being brought down by a leak is off the charts. You reap what you sow.

Tom Morris now sacked.

[i'm-uninformed2]

AFL said no further action.

Of course they did . . .

What I hope happens from here of course is every time a player or official from the Bulldogs fronts the media for the next month they get peppered with questions about their frothy-mouthed coach and asked if they are the leaker, or if they know who the leaker is, or it worries them that there is a leaker.

He could yet be.

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 reckon the reason Beveridge launched is that Morris taunted him by going on about Hunter. It was after the game you would think a rational person might ask something about the game. Beveridge should have ignored him and said "next question" and pointed to another journo ala Buckley.

What the hell is the world coming too. It’s illegal to record someone speaking without informing them.

Come on mate. You need to play by the law 1st and foremost.

It’s definitely not illegal in NZ and I think Australia too. Recordings can be used in court sometimes too. I have been reading up because I have a bit of a dispute about to go down with the guy I bought a car off.

Doesn’t really matter when the WhatsApp recording was made or released. What Morris said was wrong. And if all accounts are true, it wasn’t even the worst thing he’s said.

I agree with you that what was said was wrong. I do think it’s important to know when the WhatsApp recording was recorded and when it was released.

The recording was in someones or many peoples possession for a period of time. It only got released when Tom Morris came into the media spotlight following his run in with Beverage.

The person or people whom leaked this WhatsApp don’t care at all for the female journalist. If they really cared about the female journalist they would have taken the WhatsApp recording to a Fox Sports HR representative and allowed a quiet in house investigation to occur. They would have done this straight away.

What is staggering is that people have had the Tom Morris What’s App recording and only chose to release the recording the day after Morris has a run in with a highly revered senior AFL coach.

Why didn’t the recording emerge during the cricket season where Morris does a lot of reporting. Morris had the best inside info on the Justin Langer situation.

Every time I see him I think of Ivan Milat!

Beveridge doesn't stop whinging, he's been doing it for years. His actions were embarrassing. I see he has apologised and so he should.

Bevo has got off extremely lightly. He should be personally fined by the AFL

Bevo has apologised, Bullies donate 20k to mental health charity and Tom Morris stood down by Fox.

So, the Club has agreed with the AFL to donate $20,000 to Orygen, a key partner of the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, to assist Orygen with the important work it does in youth mental health. They’re making a donation to an organisation that they presumably already contribute to financially?

As much as I am not a fan of Morris, please don't post the other thing doing the rounds.

The whatsapp thing is clearly identifiable as him, including his phone number being used to verify it. The other one is not verified (or at least not yet), and is potentially an illegal recording anyway.

It's available on BF if anyone needs to hear it. If it really is him it's far worse than the tweet IMO.
