A lot of deflection in this thread. Still waiting for any other examples where a player has been loudly booed during a medal ceremony (I know of one from 2006).
Happy to condemn any Pies fans who've done this. Were some claiming Schuey was booed when receiving the Norm Smith? Can't really hear it, certainly didn't cause him to stop his speech and don't recall it ever being called out by the media. Makes it tough that Schooooo sounds a lot like a boo. The chanting of Collingwood fans over Reiwoldt during the Grand Final parade in 2010 was definitely classless as well.
Booing during a medal ceremony is either poor behaviour or not. In my view it is and that view stands whether it's Collingwood fans or fans from Mars.
I don't like booing in general but do understand it can be part of the theatre or part of imposing a home ground advantage. Once the game's been won and done though, continuing with it some time after is pretty weak.
