I was unfortunate enough to watch the Gold Coast Suns get hammered on Saturday night. A couple of things stood out for me: the Suns were hopelessly outclassed, they used far too much handballs, and Robert Walls does not like Jared Brennan.
As it turns out, Fox Sports replayed the 2007 classic between Brisbane and Collingwood today, in which Brennan played a brilliant game kicking seven goals, five points.
I couldn’t help noticing the difference in the way Walls talked about Brennan, saying he was a brilliant player and champion in the making.
On Saturday Walls said things like, “Brennan is one of the few players I know who make the easy look difficult,” and generally bagged him every time he got near the ball.
Okay, he didn’t have a great game last week, but I believe Jared to be a pretty good player and not deserving of a bagging by a failed coach turned commentator.
Anyone have any idea why this animosity for Jared Brennan by Robert Walls has eventuated?
