Jimmy Bartel’s strong stance on taunting after Eric Hipwood incident

Jimmy Bartel has taken a strong stance on taunting in the AFL following Eric Hipwood’s taunt on Noah Balta last night.

He believes there’s still room for taunting in the game, but has a “real issue” when its not direct opponents going at each other.

“It looks terrible, you look like a boofhead and it’s just something personal,” Bartel said.
