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”.
Just to prove how clueless Whateley is. The Anzacs were notoriously insubordinate and defined themselves as "we cannot shoot, we don't salute, what bloody good are we". Probably closer in Anzac spirit to boo, than not to boo.
Intriguing bit of this article, was that brothels were officially off limits, ''at least seven of Australia's 60 Victoria Cross recipients contracted VD'' (remembering, it's a time before Penicillin) https://www.smh.com.au/national/por...d-in-booze-brawls-and-sex-20100801-111f3.html
