What will Buddy get?

[grarmy]

If suspect that Dermie thinks that, because he got whacked in the head a few too many times, in his day. I certainly think that there's a lot less sniping, cheap shots and casual violence, these days.

A joke right? Derm was a baby-faced thug. Got 10 weeks when he kneed a player in the guts while playing for us. The victim was lying prone on the ground. In civilised countries that would be assault with intent and jailable.

I’m pleased you agree Oh Great One [emoji3].

It’s been a bugbear of mine ever since the AFL dropped the reckless category.

I thought you were giving him/her a massive rap, then I saw it was just the avatar . ????

I was not in favour of him playing for us at the time and felt it was purely undertaken for the possible publicity he would deliver as we were doing it pretty tough at that time. History will show that he did wear the jumper but to be honest I have erased his time in Sydney from my memory bank.
Now the bloke we picked up the next year well that was a different story and a great success.

I assume you’re joking?

Because if you’re not, it’s a rather silly way to lower your taxable income. Buddy gets no personal benefit from his $3000 expenditure, nor any return for his $3000 “investment”. So he’s essentially throwing away $3000 to reduce his income.

Conversely, his $3000 was about 8 minutes of actual game time for him.

$3,000 to Buddy this year ($1.5M salary) is like $150 to the person on the average wage. Everyone will probably survive.

News of this incident got as far as L.A. and Pink has pledged to pay the fine for buddy, such is the injustice of this decision.

If memory serves me correctly - and it may not so I'm happy to be shown to be wrong - the Hawthorn player was lying face down on the ground and Brereton stomped on his head as he ran past.

See 1:28 of video for the stepping on head. Wasn't running past. Just casually got up, and stepped on the side of the prone guy's face while looking down at him as he walked over. Dermott Brereton - YouTube

Thanks for the adjustment. It was actually worse than I remembered.

Dermot lives in his own fantasy world

One of the great hypocrites in the commentary game - the cheap shots he delivers as a commentator far outstrip anything he did as a player.
