Essendon fans booing.

[smelly cat]

Do you know you are spooking about sooking?

Enjoy that low hanging fruit.

A club with no morals will always have similar fans.

 

[Ron The Bear]

The booing by Bombers fans during the Anzac Day Medal presentation to Scott Pendlebury has been declared as “Essendon’s shame” by AFL 360’s Mark Robinson.

And his co-host Gerard Whateley believes the fans that booed during the ceremony “didn’t live the national character that we believe is part of Anzac”.

Which embodies the point, really. The AFL has been inflicting its identity politics on its paying customers for years, and these blokes think they can dictate a response by shaming them. The booing was purely a reflection of the standard of the umpiring and had nothing to do with the Anzacs. It could've happened after any big game.

Symbolic of today's Australia - addressing the symptom rather than treating the problem.

I don't give a shit probably could have let him speak but ohwell, that's life.

I was more disappointed in the 2 different set of Essendon supporters in the AFL members starting brawls just after the final siren.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

Hilarious comment - every supporter base the world over has *******s in their midst. This is not determined by who they follow.

FMD some of the shit that comes out of people on this forum. Another idiot.

Nice try but the person who started this post is calling out Essendon supporters for their behaviour which I’ll agree wasn’t great but I don’t recall any Collingwood people calling out their own for similar things and Collingwoods track record with crowd behaviour is worse than basically ever other side in the AFL over the years.
Yes all clubs have a bad element of supporters but it’s entertaining seeing Collingwood supporters getting salty when it comes back the other way.

 

[BEEG]

Pies had the overall rub of the green with umpires but that's not Pendles fault, we had the exact same issue against WC one of the worst officiated games I have seen in my opinion worse then today.

The sooner the AFL coaches make a stand the better.

You talk a lot but seem to have no evidence...


Some may say you are trolling.

Hmmmm....where do I start...
Winmar at Victoria Park
Reiwoldt at the Parade in 2010 and then the aftermatch speech
Milne many times over many years
Shuey last years grand final presentation
There would be many more over the years.
The point is Collingwood people are in no position to lecturing anyone.
Pretty simple really

Collingwood are not the worst. Essendon and Richmond are the worst

And st.kilda supporters are great sports hey? Well you must be after seeing your team win 26 wooden spoons

 

[LuckyBounce!]

I’ve made my point, you had a good win today and will be hard to beat again in September.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

How precious have we become? FMD just when you thought it couldn't get any worse something ridiculous like this happens.

Yeah they tried their hardest to fix it for you then too.

 

[Angus Young]

The umpires were shit they deserved to be booed. How many times did they miss obvious holding the balls for Essendon and instead gave the pies free kicks instead... LOL

 

[fishardansin]

Few things:
> Collingwood weren't kissed on the dick. They were very fortunate to win given how many goals Essendon kicked as a direct result of shady umpiring decisions. Better team won.
> Collingwood fans started their glorious chant because they won the game and wanted to counter the salty booing by the Essendon faithful
> Hird and Watson were rightfully booed as drug cheats. It stuns me that you'd even try to support them in your post.
> Shuey wasn't booed. Did Essendon supporters pluck this out of their ass in the last six hours? It's false.

LOL

There is a dude on Twitter with plenty of time on his hands ...

Yeah nah you blokes had it all go your way, thought we were at optus stadium.

 

[Tbone McGraw]

LOL

Collingwood were completely stitched up by the umps.

Do they provide tailoring with their service?

Nah just the 4 points.

 

[Do the Dew]

As a neutral, I suggest people head to the Mongrel Punt's article on the game (written by a Hawks supporter), gives a good account of the more contentious decisions and addresses the booing and what it was actually representing.

Booing is definitely the AFLs achilles heel as previously pointed out, hopefully it wakes them up to the real issues that are hurting the game (horribly confusing rules/interpretations). More likely they'll get upset at fans and condemn them for booing, which is really frustrating as a paid up supported invested in the game.

 

[Stopher]

Lol, the idea that had it been an Essendon great ie Hird or Jobe that did the same then won the medal, Pies supporters wouldn't boo? Or any other team's supporters, for that matter. Spare me. It's the nature of the sport, especially losing a tight one like that.

So sick of moralizing of one entire group of supporters over another. It's both inaccurate and boring.

Should see Howe landing in the middle of Stringers with 3.50 on the clock in the first quarter not paid. Carbon copy of that Brown one.

Danks for that.
You should attach the whole first quarter, you could have been 2 or 3 more behind.
Go Boombers.

 

[Black white]

so you are pointing out pendelbury and tippa ducked to get frees??
Danks for that
