It's demoralising for a side when one of it's best players acts like a twat and sooks to the umpires all the time. Ever wondered why he never gets a good run from the umps? Because he is always in their ear about every little ****ing thing that he thinks goes against him.
I watch Drew Petrie play every week and he never complains about any of the umpiring. He gets on with the job and when a free kick is there to be paid in his favour, he gets them occasionally.
This whole 'wears his heart on his sleeve' mantra is bullshit. Footy is a team sport, not an individuals sport. If Jack really cared about his teams performance, he'd shut up and just play footy.
It doesn't seem to hurt Geelong when Hawkins constantly sulks.
