I.R.A.

The allegations of supporting a paramilitary group (IRA) and being involved in a fight are serious. Could someone verify this??Blnguyen 02:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Googling got me a trivia quiz claiming he donated to the IRA, and also an article in The Age which indicates a (less sinister) interest in The Troubles. Anyone able to provide a cite for claims near the end about a fight? Andjam 12:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brereton very directly and unambiguously and unequivocally stated on an Australian "national television" programme (Channel Nine's "Sixty Minutes") that he had made donations (in excess of $10,000 Australian) to the IRA.

I.R.A. Support

He donated to Sinn Fein as I recall, not the provisional IRA.

Mark Yeates

Earlier Radio Work

There's no mention of his work on triple m in the 90's. I remember he was on "The Grill Team" in the late 90's, but can't remember the years he was on, anyone know? Camm1987 (talk) 14:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re this comment

"Having bulked up over his career, Brereton became a football punisher and was known for his aggressive hip and shoulder bumps on running players. His targeting of other players by this method led to the charging rule being instigated to protect players whose intention was to focus on the ball."

The charging rule was changed NOT because of Dermet's actions, rather the opposite. The charging rule was changed after Dermet got hit by Mark Yates. Yates had clearly went for Dermet, rather than the ball, so as to take Dermet out of the action. The following year, the change that was introduced was not a charging rule, rather a change to the distance a player must be in relation to the ball before you could hip/shoulder them. It was reduced to 5 metres, meaning Yates hit on Dermet would be considered off the ball. The charging rule came in much later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.180.107 (talk) 22:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
