Rumour Boo the boo

[Silent Alarm]

Someone today, who has previously told me stories about a certain high profile Freo recruit that have come true, has mentioned to me the AFL plans to fight fire with fire.

They've sent out memos basically asking clubs opinions on their new attempt at derailing booing.

'Boo the boo.'

'#bootheboo'

The idea is to boo when a player is being heckled by the crowd. The crowd boos the player, you boo the crowd. The outcome is a full ground of booing.

It'll be interesting to see how much this is taken the piss out of but tbh I don't mind it. It's light-hearted and even if it costs a few hundred grand to implement, I can see it being an iconic moment for the game.

Thoughts?

Hawthorns should be sooking, that's what they do best

I was booing the Gaz booers. It just sounded like slightly louder booing for him

[Bad Horse]

The best way to stop a bad guy with boos is a good guy with booze.

 

[SwampCreature]

I wish the op would boo off

AFLPA hard at work again.

I think it is one of the more stupid things the AFL have come up with in recent times- which is pretty significant.
However it pales in comparison to a supporter thinking it is an appropriate way to spend a couple of hundred Gs.
I know a few regional competitions that are dying a slow death that could be invigorated with that sort of money but hey lets spend it on a campaign to make a non event a tiny bit more of an event.

And do we clap the clap?

[Lensen]

how would implementing this cost anything let alone a few hundred grand

 

[Dunger]

Boo the boo works for all sorts of bad behaviour.

Ill have a beer for all the drinkers i see getting drunk.

Ill put on a bet whenever i see someone gambling.

That'll put an end to drunken behaviour a, d gambling in no time.

Advertising campaign on billboards, social media, and tele. A company was also hired to come up with the slogan, heard it took them plenty of long nights. Ludicrous.

#bootoo

Wouldn’t it make sense to cheer as a way to drown out boos?

Problem is, the way the game is played now, there's very little to cheer except goals.

Yes, all those flags we won between 2008 and 2015 have put us in a very ordinary mood.

 

[Mullarkey]

AFL cross promotion with Boopa?

 

[Harro59]

I'll put that fire out with more fire. That's the way to do it

Later on........Damn that's a big fire.

 

[thedank]

it's hard to fathom that people get paid a (pretty good) salary to come up with this nonsense
