Toast Freo supporters

[Freoforever86]

Showing our class again for clapping Nathan Jones off when injured & again when he returned to the bench. He tweeted his appreciation as well.

A huge thanks to the @freodockers supporters as I crutched back to the bench as well, lifted my spirits. #class #respect #goodluck

One of my favourite non freo players for sure

I must admit yesterday was the first time I was getting annoyed at our own supporters around me. Some of the drivel that was being yelled out to our players was embarrassing. I can only hope that they didn't hear any of it.

Yeah there was a guy near me (never seen him before) going nuts for us not kicking and telling players to man up.
Was like mate, it's 51-1 I think you can relax...

Was it Ross Lyon?

Will be interesting to see how we react when Goodes gets the ball in a couple of weeks...

I'd laugh if you were actually sitting near Banker and Borderline.

If he stages or does something stupid I expect him to be booed just like any other player would be. Our supporters will setup a brutal atmosphere circa. 2013

It wouldn't surprise me if he gets a massive round of applause when he gets a touch - he's never done anything to freo players/fans (from memory)

But yeah, if he does anything stupid he'll get booed just like everyone else

if he gets booed we can just blame it on the freeagles

Can't anymore, most of them have jumped back with their recent success.

 

[calaisking]

Our supporters are top notch. There will always be a select few who ruin it for others but overall I think we've got a great supporter base. I went to 6 home games this year and can't recall anyone around me doing or saying anything vile or feral to the opposition.

Another thing is the applause our first gamers got this year. The crowds roar for Pearce, Weller & Langdon was great. I doubt opposition supporters give that kind of reception to their first gamers.

 

[Whatname]

I hope we dont boo.

If people feel the need to boo because they think it can put goodesy of his game or that they have some devine right to speak their mind, well just imagine explaining your actions to Dale Kickett.

In all seriousness though, we have a number of indigenous players in our squad who dont need that distraction as well as two coaches who I imagine would be very close with Adam.

Hopefully we can let Adam enjoy the last stage of his AFL career while smacking his team on the scoreboard.

 

[Bicco]

Just boo all the Swans players, Swans aren't a race are they?

 

[Freodoc]

Just boo all the Swans players, Swans aren't a race are they?

No, but definitely fit the category of "favoured team" compared to Freo from an AFL perspective

 

[PurpleGreenRed]

The only player I have ever booed (I think) is Boomer Harvey. Can't stand the bloke.
What I don't like is being told I'm racist if I boo someone because that can be my only intent. It politically correct nonsense. I don't mind the Swans...but they're obviously a protected species.

 

[Vintage]

#respect to Jones for tweeting that, seems like a good bloke.

Pretty sure you dont get to choose if your racist or not. Its not really up to you is it. Its like sexual harassment at work abd stuff like that. Its up to the person thats received it to decide.

I take great offense to your clearly racist and derogatory post. / Not srs.

 

[Banker]

We're the greatest fans in the world!

Are you serious? I think you do get to choose. Intent is what it's all about. I don't think it should be in any way presumed that a boo has to do with skin colour. Booing has been part of sport since ...well...the beginning. So for a player to turn round and say... "I expect I was being booed because Im blue/green/yellow/black or purple" can't be taken seriously can it? They wouldn't know. I'm not saying that it wasn't the case with Goodes but I'm not saying it was either...I don't know.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Can we please not do one of those embarrassing, school carnival, nuffie Mexican waves if we win a final this year?

I'm not so sure, I once had a girl working for me who was doing a job that involved bending low to clean something. She had done this without being told to and I was impressed . I said "that's what I like to see, well done."
There was no sexual intent and when she said someting I explained this, and said I was very sorry for how i worded my thank you.
I believe there has to intent to offend or use of a inappropriate word.

Supreme Leader of the fun police is it?

 

[Borderline]

No issues with anyone booing Baades.
