On Footy Classified they've asked the question: Is Hardwick a hypocrite for approaching Yarran behind the scenes after firmly saying 'that should be done in the trade period' in Round 4?
However, they've stuffed up and taken his comments way out of context.
By "that" he was actually referring to club officials publicly enticing opposition players (by talking about them) in the media - and it was a direct response to Justin Leppitsch's public comments on Brisbane wanting Alex Rance to move north.
Hardwick made an excellent point - don't publicly talk about contracted opposition players you'd like to poach.
Making a direct presentation to Yarran in private is a totally different context to Hardwick's response to Leppa's public comments about Rance to the wider football public.
He never said clubs shouldn't talk to opposition players.
Is it an intentional act by Footy Classified to misrepresent someone's comments in order to generate low quality discussion among the less critically equipped?
