West Coast coach Adam Simpson said he was surprised at the treatment Goodes received from the crowd.
“I’m a little bit surprised. I was sort of hoping we’d be a bit better than that,’’ Simpson said.
“I’m sure it’s the minority and for the most part we do respect Adam, and who he stands for and what he does.
And?Astonishingly we are discussing the same 'disgraceful' crowd that only 2 weeks ago was lauded as showing the most respectful act ever seen by opposition supporters.
With Jetta's response to Goodes being booed yesterday there have obviously been some interviews with said players and I was absolutely disgusted with Jetta's opinion and response.
When asked about the booing he said "The booing was a disgrace, I was sticking up for goodesy and the crowd needs to be more respectful"
I tell you what Lewis. You need to play football and pull your head straight out of your arse. First of all, your reaction, not necessarily the war dance but giving the fist to the crowd afterwards is directly against the rules of the AFLPA code of conduct as it is a direct rule violation to incite the crowd. The difference in admission is that Goodes said his actions which caused an outcry were a goal celebration where as Jetta has come out and said it was a deliberate measure to stick up for his mate and incite the crowd. He should and will likely be fined unless of course they decide to pull the race card and let it pass.
Now the real issue i have is that he is under the assumption that the crowd should be more respectful of the players. What an absolute flog. The only reason he gets to play football for money is because of the fans. Without the people going to the games, without the tv viewers, without the club members you wouldn't have the life you have today.
The Fans > League > Clubs > Players
How about you show some respect.
You've simultaneously attacked and played the victim card. That's borderline impressive.Jetta only became a flog when he cheap shotted Yeo from behind
But of course mentioning that makes me a racist
This is total bullshit. There are 20 other Aboriginal people out there every week that don't get booed. Goodes gets booed because he's a knob, not because of his skin.If booing was linked to the content of his character rather than his skin colour then the booers are saying that Goodes has by far the worst character in the game because he gets by far more booing than anyone else. The only people who could possibly think that are racists.
His haters are either open racists or too stupid to know they're racist.
You've simultaneously attacked and played the victim card. That's borderline impressive.
You're attempting to draw a line between two unrelated incidents.Jetta is a stand up guy!
Yeo took a dive and should be sanctioned
It's people like you that will ensure the booing continues. People who boo want to put the player off their game and when they see people having a sook about it, it tells them it's working. In my opinion the media should shoulder some of the blame for this, as they have made the booing into a big issue by telling people not to do it. People don't like being told what to do, especially by the hacks in the media, so they naturally will continue to boo even louder just to stick it to the man.If the Fremantle crowd was booing Goodes and Jetta responded by doing the war dance, I would applaud him.
The enmity towards Goodes all over Australia is disgraceful. It was particularly bad yesterday.
So you think he is by far the biggest "knob" in the game? No rational person can possibly think that.This is total bullshit. There are 20 other aborigines out there every week that don't get booed. Goodes gets booed because he's a knob, not because of his skin.
