    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.

    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.
