Jerk of the Week: Dermott Brereton
I’m a Hawthorn Football Club faithful. I was born that way and these days I’m a proud, passionate and paid-up member of the club.
I used to love Dermott Brereton so much. The 1989 Grand Final is one of the all time greats and Dermott’s effort that day (playing with a broken rib) galvanised the fighting spirit of Hawthorn.
But please Dermott, shut up. You haven’t said anything constructive for some time.
First there was the insider account of the Brendan Fevola/Lara Bingle affair where he felt compelled to let the media know that Bingle knew Fev was married during their affair (something Bingle denied knowing). The woman had just had some pretty compromising photos splashed all over the papers that she was obviously pretty upset about, and comments like this only added to her humiliation.
Then, just when the Hawks are looking like their season couldn’t get any worse and are obviously suffering from a serious lack of morale, he comes out with some shit about how Hodge should be captain, not Mitchell and that there is a big rift in the club.
Is that in anyway helpful?
Honestly Dermy, are you just a bit upset because no one listens to you anymore?
So for blurting out far too much meaningless crap of late, you are: Jerk of the Week.
