Re: Blues Brothers trip to the tribunal

Not surprised in the slightest, I hope Sellars, off camera, called them on their disappointing behaviour.
I confess to being surprised by Whateley's seeming covert venom toward the CFC/Curnow boys (thinly disguised as something else). I always saw Whateley -- until now -- as intelligent, articulate and measured in his comments but he was clearly (in a passive/aggressive way) angry. His comments around the Curnow's decision, 'I thought I knew ...etc... but clearly I know nothing...' or words to that effect, are just childish and tantrumesque. If he didn't agree with the decision he should have simply been an adult and said that up front, instead it's come across as deeply personal against our club and the 2 players concerned. Resorting to drama/theatrics is really disappointing from someone we expect far more objectivity from.
Then Robbo starts crying poor Baguley because of his facial defect (don't know what that is... ) and how that would have been difficult for him growing up... as if this justifies his behaviour. Astounding and puerile perspective.
Not a good week for 360, far too subjective/personal agenda driven. Thought Whateley was more professional that this. From Robbo we expect little else.
