"How would I know": Whiteboard snapper tells all behind viral image
'Steve', the AusKick father that snapped a photo of Brisbane's controversial whiteboard, has stepped forward to talk about the viral incident out of Round 8.

Dubbed 'Whiteboardgate', Brisbane's changerooms featured a whiteboard with strengths and weaknesses of every Essendon player listed ahead of their contest at Marvel Stadium,
Labelling Zach Merrett as "selfish", and defender Jaxson Prior's strength as 'Bronte', the name of his partner, the Lions have been hot under the spotlight since the image was shared on Facebook.
However, according to 'Steve', he was never made aware that he was unable to take photos. He joined Dwayne Russell to explain his side of the viral story.
