LOL. So you pass Derm's views off as your own (you didn't specify that they are his) and now you wont make any sort of judgement about their credibility. Give me a break.
Somehow I've wound up in a discussion with a mental pygmy.
The initial comment was always attributed to Brereton, unless you have spectacular comprehension issues, and the reason the comment was made is also clear. There was an assertion that anyone who didn't think McCartin has "special traits" didn't know what they were talking about. Brereton made that exact assertion. I wasn't proffering whether I agreed with him or not, I was merely confirming he held this view having heard him discuss McCartin on the back of a question from one of his on air Fox colleagues. And I'm pretty sure it happened during his best game, the Melbourne game.
If you've still got it recorded have another viewing. Or maybe another Saints fan can confirm Brereton's comments.
I hope that settles it, but I suspect I'm dealing with a special poster, so perhaps not.
