This crazy reaction to the booing is typical of the media and the main reason I no longer watch the footy shows on Fox. These so called footy experts just don't get that the Dangerfield to Geelong saga was an absolute nightmare for every Crow supporter. They only experienced this as the "Dangerfield homecoming event".
That stupid promo of Dangerfield on the surfboard wearing his "office suit was an insult to the AFC. That's how I took it anyway.
I really don't hate Dangerfield for leaving. I get it. It made sense. What I did hate was the Victorian and Fox Footy media for turning his homecoming into the Greatest show on Earth! As if his time in Adelaide meant nothing until his famous return to the real home of football.
The reality is that the Crows gambled on a talent from Melbourne who was still to complete his studies and supported this for his first 12 months at the club. Despite this we were prepared to look ahead to a bright future. We could have taken the easy option with Ebert but instead saw something that not many Vic clubs or their media could see. This kid was something special.
After the tragedies the club faced during his tenure as a Crow one would think he would have developed a special bond with the club and the supporters. I'm sure he genuinely loved the club and his mates on the field and I don't think his decision to leave was an easy one considering his family ties in Moggs Creek. I don't envy him in that regard.
But decide he did. He took the family option. Geelong won that battle. No second place. We also lost out in the trade. So we move on and 2 seasons later Jerka lays it on the line......"He could have had a Brownlow and a premiership medallion" so this set the scene for the Prelim. I think we were all in fear of what might happen if we lost to Geelong. The media set this up as the AFC v Their past champion who ultimately shunned them for a better life. So to see our current favourite player flatten our previous favourite player who had abandoned us was...............exhilarating and f***n awesome!!!!!!
This is what I don't get with the media. They are blind to what has happened to the Crows with his departure. I understand Frawley being ignorant but not Tredrea. He is usually better than your average "personality". He only sees this from the players point of view. No one tries to understand where we as supporters are coming from.
This was the happy ending we all needed! We can now move on to bigger and better things!...........Fck the media!

Sums up almost every Crows poster.
Had we received two first rounders from Geelong which would have been a fair trade, I could have moved on before Friday night. That campaigner could have insisted on that.
