One weeks rest for Buddy I'd reckon, won't do him any harm

Buddy will get a week. Dermie is okay.

I don’t mind listening to Brereton for analysis post game or during the week, but I don’t really enjoy his contribution during the contest (it might just be the tone of his voice).

I missed his suggestion that Buddy should get 3-4, but that must be in a hypothetical sense where the current set of rules don’t apply. If he is graded like Shuey it will be a fine, otherwise he will get one. Anything higher and the Swans would appeal (and win).

Wouldn’t it be nice if Dermie got three or four weeks off as well ?

Look at the whole incident (and ignore Brereton and King) - Buddy was falling backwards over other players and the chance that was going to end his season (career?) was significant. Of course he was going to trying to protect his fall and having the ball in the hand he was going to land on wouldn't help that. That's more likely than him having special radar that tells him that his opponent has lifted his head at the wrong time. Deliberate? How?

He said something like "back in the late 80's - early 90's it would've been 3-4 weeks". He went on to guarantee that Buddy did it intentionally.

The problem is that he can have some good insights into the game amongst all the prattling.

Thats BS. It will do him, and the team harm. The swans coaching and player management team know exactly the rest and the time of that rest he needs, not the MRO.

To be fair, Dermie was having a very bad hair day that day. The lockdown is really hurting him.

Hahaha! I think that's a fair assumption

Thanks for clarifying that.

In that case, I really don’t know what he (Brereton) is talking about. I can’t think of an example from that time frame where this is true. Different scenario if someone has a broken jaw, broken nose, black eye or is bleeding, but this seems pretty run-of-the-mill to me.
