Simon Black’s “mercenaries” jibe at high-profile Gold Coast Suns recruits seemed out of character at the time (see previous post).
In subsequent days, Gold Coast coach Guy McKenna weighed in with a dig about “cleaning up [Brisbane’s] mess” and now, somewhat predictably given the sequence of events, Brisbane coach Michael Voss says he is taking McKenna’s comment “personally”.
‘Anonymous’ suggested in a comment on our Black story that the whole thing was a PR set-up. We have to agree as events have unfolded.
Far from establishing a fierce ‘cross-town’ rivalry, the interchange of insults between Gold Coast and Brisbane has descended into pathetic farce.
As if to underscore how empty the rivalry is, that doyen of deep and sober analysis, Robert Walls, has weighed in with a defence of his own Brisbane legacy.
Enough already!
Seriously guys, leave this sort of childish nonsense to the experts in the field: politicians. Just get on with the footy!
