CibbuanoCornes slams Lovett over tribunal role
April 3rd 2009 05:16
ESSENDON speedster Andrew Lovett broke the players' "code of silence" according to Port Adelaide utility Chad Cornes.
Lovett's testimony played a signifcant part in ruckman Dean Brogan's one-match suspension given that there was no video footage of the incident.
Cornes said Lovett's decision to give evidence against Brogan at the tribunal on Tuesday night was "really disappointing".
"I think he (Lovett) will look back in a couple of years and be pretty disappointed with himself, the way he handled that," Cornes said.
"Unfortunately we don't play them again this year, but we look forward to playing them next year."
Cornes also said the Power won't be curtailing their aggressive ways this season because of Brogan's suspension.
"You've seen over the pre-season that we've really got that aggression and toughness back into our footy," he said.
"It's been a big focus over the pre-season, we got heavily criticised last year, so it's been one of the things most of us have worked on especially in the weights room and that kind of thing."
