I think he means the one where he dropped his head so low that is was almost touching the ground, and then he acted like he had been shot and flung himself back. Selwood gets boo'd every game for doing that crap.
What the one he had to put his head over despite the traffic coming the other way? What is he meant to do stand upright and watch the ball go past him. The most basic fundamental of te game is to protect the ball player

I didn't boo - and I didn't like that either.
Both incidents then and today were showed poor sportsmanship and were disrespectful.
As for the Tigers....I wouldn't go there matey...the highest horse your supporters could be on would be a Shetland pony
All supporter bases do it. That’s the point. We could find anything on any club. So, it’s a bit rich when Buckley lectures a crowd. That’s all I’m saying.

no - for commercialising a day of commemoration and trying to market the game has holding attributed values.
No - the people CHOOSE their actions. I know, your from the group of EVERYTHING is the AFL fault, but let’s live in reality for 15 minutes, to give you a chance to realise that everything isn’t the always the AFL fault, despite how much you wish to spin it to be everytime, no matter the circumstances

and take your bombers glasses off mate. Pies led all day, had more scoring shots, more disposals, more inside 50s, better disposal efficiency but Essendon should of won?
Pies won 1 quarter.

Essendon shat the bed no doubt. Pies brought pressure at the start and should have been up by more but Essendon reined them in and almost took the game from you.

Umpires were annoying but we shot ourselves in the foot. Hopefully we get you next time.

On a side note, this game solidified my thoughts about us being in the top 8 this year. In previous years we would have folded after that first quarter.

Pretty classless stuff booing a champion during a medal ceremony.

This goes double for it being on ANZAC day. Do we take the game away from the Bombers if their fans can't live up to its tenets?

If we want to cry about umpiring, let's talk about the couple of cheap goals Essendon got for soft/invisible free kicks, including Baguely's late. In the end, they were behind for 100% of the game. Maybe a touch unlucky late, but that's sport. Boo decisions or whatever during the game, once the siren goes you suck it up and accept that L, don't behave like a mob of feral cry babies.
Setting the bar low calling him a champion.
Just a ducking dog looking for the cheapy.

If he had any moral fibre he'd have handed the medal back. Disrespectful to our Anzac's he gets the medal.

We're in the bottom third or quarter for free kicks. But yeah don't let that get in the way of a good story.
What’s
bad luck to Pendles. If he had half a brain he'd know it wasnt directed at him
went past Hird as the greatest Anzac player today and all without cheating and bringing game into disrepute . WhT a star

It's just not needed but unfortunately these days the bad sportsmanship of supporters is a reflection of the atrocious standards of our society.

The human race is ******.
Sadly I think you are right, even sadder we have always been f**ked and no sign we will ever change.

Can we also acknowledge the brilliant job Cox did of throwing his hands up and getting a bullshit free after Hooker marked it?
Was the most obvious free kick paid all day. Gotta laugh when people whinge that a actually free kick is paid when it should.
