Who are the "un-booable" characters of the AFL?

[DAWESOME!!]

Jarrad McVeigh, absolute champion.

Anyone not wearing a green shirt.

I Hardly ever hear Jack Riewoldt get booed, yet Port fans were booing Houli on the weekend (god knows why)

 

[Engimal]

Lindsay Thomas, Ryan Crowley and Hayden Ballantyne.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Dane Swan?

 

[sonnywalters]

" and Jobe Watson probably fits into that category.
Over to you....

Surely you jest here?

Lance Franklin

Was at a match in Round 23, 2013 in Sydney and Swans fans booed him non stop

Goodesy told me it was racism

Anyway its all sorted now as the Swans fans aren't as racist since the Swans recruited him - Buddy is now un booable

 

[KGBeast]

Jobe Watson? Seriously?

I remember a game in the west in the not too distant past where he was mercilessly booed. Ergo, not unbooable.

That was before he was found not guilty of anything ever

No one going to say Fyfe? Don't recall seeing him booed.. Maybe set shot on GF day

I think he was booed after the trip on the Bulldogs player. Not hugely and I think they got over it pretty quickly.

More interesting is who can not be not booed.
Cooney

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

What I don't understand is that if certain players are booed the crowd is called racist, yet if a Caucasian player is booed nobody bats an eyelid about it.

 

[Stylo]

Jarrad McVeigh, absolute champion.

He was the first I thought of too. Could never diss the dude.

 

[Scotland]

How is there no listed player named Burns on an AFL list? This is a disgrace.

 

[akiva]

Ablett

 

[Quinz]

Dylan Main from the Eagles. Unbooable because no one knows he exists.

 

[mike123]

Dane Swan?

Probably in Dane Swan's mind, he wouldn't realise if he was getting boed.

 

[didaksrightfoot]

Just a few names: Lenny Hayes, Simon Black, Pendles (maybe I'm biased), Ablett Jr, Josh Kennedy (Syd), Swallow, Sandi/Pav/McPharlin, Beau Waters, Harry Taylor, Fletch (only in his old age really).
And:
Lewis-M*Fing-Roberts-Thompson... you just can't be anything but impressed with the kind of career LRT had for himself, and how he always played his role in the big games.

There has been a fair amount of discussion about why Adam Goodes is constantly booed by opposition supporters. Is it because he plays for frees? Because he has been outspoken? Or is it racially driven. The latter seems highly improbable.

3AW Sports Today posed an interesting lightweight question - in light of the booing of Goodes is it possible to come up with a list of players and coaches who have earned the right not to be booed because of their glorious service to the game, because they are downright nice guys, or because of some other reason?

At Geelong I thought Jimmy Bartel fell into that category. I still do, but he lost browny points in 2014 when he was accused of staging for a free. Harry Taylor and Corey Enright are IMO unbooable. Both are downright good guys who have served the game well.

The great Jimmy Stynes was unbooable. Of the current players, Bob Murphy has been described as "unbooable" and Jobe Watson probably fits into that category. On the other hand Stevie J, and Boomer Harvey don't.

Of the coaches I reckon Ken Hinkley is the only unbooable character

Over to you....

I think Watson got booed to the max in the Round 4 2013 clash when they went over to Fremantle and ended up winning. Can't remember exactly, but something like that
