Based on his mannerisms, attitude and reaction after the tackle.

Also said "Seems" so i could be wrong. Just the vibe i get, the mabo

If you’re unfortunate enough to listen to triple j, you’d know that people get ‘vibes’ from all sorts of things. I’m not holding your opinion against you. Just curious as to the opinion.

I still think Cameron smiths reaction to McKinnon was the poorest human response I’ve seen in sport. Based purely off that, the guy in my eyes will always be a dirt bag.

Totally agree. He was as cold as ice, only concern was for the game.

I think our reactions in times of emotion/subconscious reveal a lot about our innate character.

How many times do you see a tackle or play go wrong, and the guilty party quickly reacts by showing concern for welfare. Cotric showed none of this, it was a "what of it, want more?" type of reaction.

Smith was just one of complete disregard, call him a competitor, but I just think he doesn't really care about other too much.

With Smith, it definitely seemed more callous. Compounded by his lack of response the next day, or ever really, which escalated to going into a siege mentality mode where in his mind Ch9/60 minutes were victimising him.

Still, that attitude is probably what makes him a champion. See also his freezeout of Cronk for having the audacity to move clubs to support his wife’s career. CS9 is just all footy, all the time

Channel 9 were wrong in what they did but I remember seeing it on the Monday night and talking with everyone the next day that Smith came across like an ass.

The channel 9 thing was fucking uncalled for though either way.

Im probably overreacting because even just remembering the 60 minutes thing makes me furious. Smith definitely didn't conduct himself well after the fact, probably because he's a smart guy and was shitting himself in fear and panic, but the whole narrative about his intent and disregard for Alex's wellbeing that gets pushed alongside this story is complete bullshit and makes me angry.
