to Boo or not to Boo, that is the question?

[QuietB]

If they got it going I would join in this chant, absolutely

The AFL really need this rammed up their cake hole and the only thing they listen to is bad media, ie. Brian Lake. Needs to be done.

This.. The look of the game is far more important to the AFL than the game itself at the moment.

 

[Taylor]

It would get in his head more if the whole crowd cheered him wearing their #23 jumper.

He will expect the boos, so to show love might make him cry and then he won't be able to see properly.

 

[Thaihawk]

I'll always be thankful for the years Buddy gave us. And I'll always be resentful about the way he left. We got nothing and a rival got stronger.

This is the very reason to show how you disapproved of the way he treated the club when he made his move.

 

[Thaihawk]

Why don't we jump the fence and swamp him every time he kicks a goal, or maybe misses a goal.

 

[kirbatron]

Th truth is I want to ******* throttle the prick. I want to shout the meanest things I can think of & if I could I would throw pies, bottles whatever I can get my hands on really.

I'm not going to do this of course. I will let the team do the talking for me & make sure he 'earns' every touch or goal on saturday.

edit: i'm up for a qtr time stacks on

 

[Glasgow Hawk]

No need to throttle him. He's a big bloke. Just give him your car keys and say, "take it for a spin, Buddy". He'll do the rest.

 

[detox]

Franklin was a wonderful player at our club, and I don't hold any ill-feeling toward him at all. Still love him as a player and all that he did for the club.

To answer the question - Damn right I am going to boo him. This is footy.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Well its the Big Budwana's first game back at the G against the Mighty Fightings and honestly i am a little intrigued as to what the reaction will be when he goes near the prune.

I am confused as to how i feel, so am hoping the BigFooty public can tell me what i should do on Satday night, as there's no kind of pressure like peer pressure!

Do what you feel like doing, there is no should or should not about it. Can't believe booing has become the great moral question of the decade. It's. just. booing. You can bet your bottom dollar when he is booed (and he will be) all the commentators will tut tut and say how he doesn't deserve it Opposition players get booed every week as do umpires, why should Buddy (or Jobe Watson, Adam Goodes, Gunston etc. etc.) be exempt? Everyone needs to get over all this sensitivity about booing.

 

[Aeon05]

Not gonna boo, silence will hurt him more

 

[Roddy]

I won't be booing, it's just mindless. I know lots of other people will though. All I can hope for is that we won't be like Adelaide crowds and still be booing him in 5 years time...

He won't be playing in 5 years Roddy !!!!

 

[Roddy]

What is he, 27? That makes him 32, not sure about that mate!

 

[QuietB]

The real question is to win or not to win. Get it done Hawks - I am pumped for this game.

 

[Ripper Rioli]

"Kurt are they booing me?'
'No sir they are saying Boooddy, Boooddy'
"Are you saying boo or Boody"
Crowd Boos.
Andrew Demetriou at the back of the stands 'I was saying Booddy'

 

[MistyAvalon]

too damn right.................... and I was glad to see him go..........................but sheesh you don't treat your cub like that

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Hope he falls flat on his big head. If you embrace Hawthorn, the club will embrace you. If you do the dirty by Hawthorn ... you've got what's coming to you.

I think all Hawks fans should do what they want. If they want to cheer him, go ahead. If you feel like I do, then you should be allowed to vent your displeasure. I do draw the line though, this should be a once off, I won't condone it in latter games.

Don't forget one thing. He screwed us, and shouldn't get away with it.

 

[Xtreme]

Won't clap if he gets injured
Won't cheer if he does something (aka kicks the match winning goal) or plays a larger role in a hawthorn defeat (5+ goals)

I'll just be silent but seething on the inside.

 

[Neville Bartos]

Boo Sydney yes. Plenty of booing for those flamingos.

Wouldn't worry about booing Franklin, he'll kick a goal 2 minutes later and make everyone look stupid

 

[daniel23]

one of the club greats but if i could be at the game id be losing my voice from booing , if he was at gws i probably wouldn't care as much but seeing him in those colours is more then enough for me to hate him

 

[wallyt99]

To boo is human. To jeer is divine.

 

[Procrastinator35]

* the campaigner.....I'm gonna Boo my arse off like I've never done before....This dirt bag shat all over our football club for $$$ & to top it all off, went behind our backs to the Shitme Swines not 2 weeks after blowing the Premiership to them by losing the ability to kick a ball even remotely competently!....The blokes a total Scumbag!

 

[MightyHawks86]

I'll let rip a few (boos that is) if the situation calls for it. Only wish I was loud enough for him to hear me from WA.

 

[Goodo73]

I say do what you'd do to any other opposition player. Don't treat Buddy as a special case.

If you're planning on booing him because he left Hawthorn, I reckon you need to dry your tears, harden up, and realise the game has changed. That is, it's a professional full-time job for players now, and it's not as if they start their careers down at their local AFL team (like in 'the old days'). Club loyalty, while admirable, is far less of a factor now than it may have been in the past.

Think on this: do you see any Hawthorn supporters bad-mouthing Gunston for departing Adelaide? If you're happy to be on the receiving end of a departing player, you can't very well feel scorned when a Hawthorn player walks out the door; especially one that has given us so much, and said not a bad word about the club on his way out the door.

If you do the dirty by Hawthorn ... you've got what's coming to you.

Don't forget one thing. He screwed us, and shouldn't get away with it.

How exactly??
