Someone was auctioning off Goodes pretend spear on eBay this morning

AFL won the bidding. They bought it for the National Sports Museum - Australian Football Hall of Fame, apparently.

Probably a fake since he never actually threw it.
I'm still waiting on my air guitar to arrive thou.

Is there also going to be rundown on the big screen telling us what we can and can't do on Saturday night?

The scoreboard will flash signs to instruct the crowd to "Cheer", "Laugh" and "Clap" at regular internals. Between those actions, there will be a large "SILENCE" sign flashing.

Fake? Ah s**t! I bid $1000 on that. Damn!

I

And you just know there's going to be one or two knobs booing which will be barely audible on the TV which the media will blow up on us about. Selwood's 200th at Kardinia Park has been transformed into a welcome back Goodesy after your one week hiatus. Still the club was put in a pretty shitty position and it's fallen to us to clean up everyone elses crap.

Agree its so predictable isnt it

This is what I think the Geelong supporters at the game should do -

 

[Hello Kitty]

Will Bronny Bishop be landing her Helicopter on the centre square during the pre-game entertainment?

Yes she will + King Darren is paying for it from Geelong rate payers' $$$ lol

 

[Hello Kitty]

I'm for dropping the booing if it's going to be construed as racist and just go with sook.

So the Geelong CheerSquad should just sook at Goodes?

 

[Hello Kitty]

I was contemplating putting my feet up while I watch on Saturday night, but I'm waiting on confirmation from the AFL if that's acceptable; or if Adam will be offended.

Just make sure you get it in writing!

So if the crowd (including Swans fans), boos the umpires, people will be dragged out to the back of the Fred Flanagan Stand, to be hung, drawn + quartered?

Is that Menzel to his left and a young Guthrie to his right. Must be from round 1 2011.

The news about the government ban is very very funny.

If only it weren't true.

Pitch invasions take ages to clear up and disrupt the continuity of the game. Probably not a good idea.
Maybe just a minute's silence instead if he kicks one but I would hope that our boys in the backline don't afford him any opportunity to score

The problem is that, if he scores a point- or kicks the ball out on the full- from a set shot, anyone who cheers and claps him will be seen as racist, so the crowd won't know what to do. The cameras will be out in force, no doubt Channel 7 and all the news crew will be there recording each person's expression, then writing up their divisive articles about who was thinking what, etc.

Personally I will be vigorously booing anyone who boos Adam Goodes. And I will keep on booing until they all stop booing him. And if anyone boos me I will boo them too. I hope Channel 7 pick up on the nuance of my booing.

Hahahaha!!!

Sadly, I've had to turn in my weapon

 

[FISTO]

Are we allowed to boo him if he stages, chucks a spear or slides in feet first?

Good. Maybe when they catch you on camera, you can say "I was saying "Boo-urns" (respectfully, of course!)

You had plenty of time to register your imaginary weapon, you have no one to blame but yourself.

No- sorry. Even imaginary boo-ing has been banned. The Thought Police are watching you, so LOOK OUT!!!

I only missed the cut off date by a few hours!

It would be hilarious if he threw another imaginary spear at the crowd. I wonder what story the media would go with.
