Whack an h in front of the ttp to give it a valid protocol, but

Hmmm, who beat you on Sunday? Take a look at the scoreboard Rodney.

Eade must be feeling the pressure if he's getting caught up arguing the point with Fev.

What's the big deal? The fans new before the game that Eade didn't plan to man up on Judd and Stevens. Fevola's comment was hardly controversial.

Nice hosing down of the situation by Ratts. Well handled.

Smokescreen, Fev's going to the doggies...

Eade should focus on his own cattle.

Why make an issue about a player's comment which just so happens to be in agreement with Eade's publicly stated motives before the game.

Eade lost the game by choosing unaccountable tactics; he was cocky and didn't deem it necessasry to play accountable footy against the Baby Blues.

Eade rolled the dice; he lost badly. He underestimated the quality of the Baby Blues midfield and spirit.

Fev calls a spade a spade, so what. The interesting thing I find in all this is Eade didn't deny his tactics backfired on him, and that HE cost the Doggies 4 points. Instead Eade questions Fev's footy brain....when the media's spotlight is on Eade's decisions.

What the @#$%&! was Eade thinking when he decided on the choice and attacking Fev on the issue?

Deflection? What a coward!

Grow up Eade and take ownership of your mistakes.

I heard Acker recall a story about Fev during last Sundays game. A Bulldogs trainer came out to give Brian Lake a drink and Fev said to him hang around here because I am just about to put on a show.

We own the media!!!, whether it's a off-the-cuff comment beat up like this , or another 'is Jesus Christ better than Chris Judd at carpentry at his age'.
Eade should admit he was arrogant and showed up no respect however.

I guess that seeing as he was unable to stop Fev's attack on Sunday he thought he'd have a go mid week.....unfortunately we already have the 4 points. Cry me a river Rodney!

That's brilliant, although flawed.

Theat comment (if true) suggests that he isn't putting in a best effort prior to putting on the 'show'.

If only we could find the ingredient to motivate his best effort 100% of the game (if he doesn't which most observers would suggest); 150 goals beckons.

bondi, his comments might have also coincided with being given a spray by Ratts.

Great post!

The pathetic thing about this whole situation is that Rodney has been sucked into having a personal crack at Fev by the media when Fev's comment was nothing but an off-the-cuff, post game interview, honest (and correct) opinion on the dog's game plan on Sunday, which obviously backfired on them. If you listen to the interview, there was nothing personal or inflammatory about Fev's comment whatsoever.

IMO Eade has taken the bait and made a bit of a fool of himself by making it personal. It hurts when you look at the scoreboard.....

Fev's like the 8 year old that goes to her friends house for a sleep over and says " My Dad says that anyone who *insert controversial comment* is a tosser.



No filter between brain and mouth. God it's funny, though.

I like Aker, but surely describing someone's elses comments as 'crap' constitutes a response

Winners are grinners and oracles.....Eade along with Wallace is another coach who has attracted a bit of hype, promised plenty and delivered little in the way of premierships...
Having met Eade in person I found him to be a unpleasant and petulant SOB and I do enjoy seeing him under the pump....

Face it Rocket, if it wasn't for comments by people like Fev no-one would take any interest in your insignificant little club.
