Re: Damien Barrett what's his agenda ?
What's the phrase about stuffed clocks and being right twice a day? Agree with every word of this article, and I especially like the pots at both Sicily (for missing the match-winner) and Mitchell (for losing the unlosable game after getting smashed in the coaches box) as the real reasons for their responses - fantastic diversionary tactic to not talk about both their failures. And of course the AFEL for their heavy-handedness this week and complete lack of consistency in applying the conduct unbecoming rule previously.
I especially loved Barrett highlighting the deliberate Hawthorn ploy of exaggerating head contact to the ground to milk dangerous tackle frees. This match wouldn't have even been close if those early frees to Chol and Moore weren't paid, and then Impey tried the same dirty tactic in that match-saving tackle by Byrne-Jones late in the 4th. This garbage is absolutely more "conduct unbecoming" than anything Hinkley did/said post match IMO.
Anyway, well done to Barrett on finally getting something right. Now piss off.
