Just my opinion that he should be careful given his history with Goodes...by no means hanging him - pretty sure what Goodes did pales in comparison to what Eddie said either way

(I agree re: Eddie, he does have to watch his tongue at times)... but, on the channel 7 telecast, Bruce, Commetti and Lingy were all saying the same thing... I think commetti almost said that exact same thing ("bad look") and their overall discussion was that - look it is clearly important to Goodes, and he is allowed to celebrate a goal, and that looked very planned (whether that's good or bad is up to the individual), but you need to think about what you're doing out there, and that he probably shouldn't have been done in front of the opposition fans. In fact Commetti also said something like "well thats definately not gonna stop the boos".
That pretty much sums up my view as well.
Can't fault Goodes for having that sort of passion, but that celebration was done to do nothing but incite the opposition fans. You can't do that and then also complain about booing.
The reaction to the celebration ells me the booing may be more about race than I first thought...
I think he's a dick head and don't like his playing for free's and dirty play but I have no problem with his celebration although maybe shouldn't have been directed at opposition fans. It is indigenous round after all.

When he started the dance I liked what he was doing, and I don't just mean the dance but the message he was sending, but as it progressed and could see what his intentions were I felt he had overstepped the mark. Like I said he would have had more effect and had almost zero backlash if he had gone towards his cheer squad.
Spot on.
He intended to incite.
2-3 weeks I reckon.
Oh shite, I forgot, he's not a Collingwood player.

Maybe so. It seems that he was pissed off at the Carlton supporters. Maybe it is a cumulative effect of all the booing or it could be something he heard. I guess we will find out soon. At the very least people are talking about reconciliation which can't be a bad thing.

Yep heard the others too, just got a bit worried when Eddie started to weigh in on it.
It looked premeditated to me

He kicks a football for a living FFS!
Unless the Blues Supporters said something racist against him then I can't condone that performance!
What Goodes did is as average as the hand Stands Jacko used to do! Remember him!
They kick a football for a living for F...S sake....they should stick to what they do best.
Goodes is a gun......what he did was rubbish! Can't believe I am defending Carlton supporters!

No. If the booing had little to do with racism, Goodes has now made it all about race. I like the dance, by all means do it as pregame ritual but he has directed it towards the Carlton crowd.
I'm interested to see his explanation for it.

Well he would have had to learn the moves. Whether he did that to use during a game is something that only he would know. In the end it doesn't matter that much.

A mixture of:
- tall poppy syndrome
- some Heritier Lumumba type hate/jealousy (dislike of preachy intellectual rhetoric)
- arrogance?
- his treatment of a 12/13 year old girl
- his demeanour on the footy field
I'm not a big fan...but he's a bloody good footballer (or was).

If you think that was a good look then all the more power to you.
But if a Collingwood player "puts" on a performance like that on Sunday I'll be on here on Sunday night to call them a D.....d.
P.S That's my problem thanks for asking.
No talking about the actual dance, im talking about doing it at the game directing it at someone.

I reckon the whole Sydney team should be booed, only 56 points, bah humbug I want more.
Plenty of sportsman have polarised public opinions, Lleyton Hewitt, Bernard Tomic, Mark Webber, Wayne Gardener, Shane Watson, Stuart Macgill, just to name a few. No need to pull the race card just because you are not universally liked.

I don't necessarily think its a good look however I can understand something like that happening in the heat of the moment given his history of racial abuse by people in the crowd.

Really poor from Goodes. He is actively instigating the the booing.
Premeditated stage managed theatrical performance. Pathetic.
Piss poor commentating too.
I won't be listening to word from Goodes anymore. they best get a new front man. Someone with integrity and slightly less self obsession.
Really pissed off, he basically hi-jacked a celebratory round for his own personal promotion.
