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
The nation of uncouthness.

The Collingwood banner being a big dummy for Michael Long after he reported Monkhurst for racially abusing him.

whilst you are posting clips , can you show us Guelfis free right in front of goal.
No doubt there may have been a few go Essendon's way, but you'd have to be an idiot or just trolling to not admit that Collingwood got a ride today. I can admit that I feel Essendon got lucky with a number of calls against Brisbane. You just look stupid if you say otherwise about today's game. It was a game with less than a kick in it and the umpires had a huge say. You can bank the four points, but don't lie.

At the end of the day, who does care?
Apparently alot of talking head morons in the media and the general softcocks that is the modern society at large seem to care, until the next week/day/second when something else outrages them.

Gerard Whateley can stand on his soap box about everything all he likes, but I don't think anyone stops to care. And nor should they.

And if Pendles doesn't care, I have no idea why anyone would as you said.

No that was James caught in a scandal and attempted suicide twice. He made mistakes, but he is not a racist piece of shit like your ex-president and the members of your cheer squad.
Racism was rife at Windy Hill, daicos , starcevich got so much abuse all the time there.
keep up your booing during presentations if that makes you feel tough, well done.

I can accept plenty of those being bad calls, but the Moore one is in no way a free kick. Zero prior opportunity and the ball knocked out in the tackle. They've been paying it as play on literally all year. Like it or hate it, dropping the ball has only been a thing with prior opportunity.

There shouldn't be an ANZAC medal
Exactly. It's a problem of the afls own making. The afl try and get in on the emotion and remembrance day of Anzac day, while making mega bucks from it, naming a medal called the Anzac medal, and the media get offended when the crowd boos the winner of said medal. No one booed the anzacs, no one booed the at the dawn service, no one booed during the afls contrived "service" for those too lazy or that didn't care enough to attend dawn services and just wanted to go to the footy. They did boo at the footy however. If the afl and media want to pretend the footy and Anzac day are now intrinsically linked they are kidding themselves. And a few punters here obviously.

That's why it's getting misconstrued, because the afl named a medal the Anzac medal. The booing would have occurred if the medal was called the Charlie sheen medal. It was footy. Not a dawn service.

Every Essendon v Collingwood game I go to all the Essendon fans do is boo!! They are experts at it!!

But to boo a champion is disgusting. Shame on you Essendon
What about Collingwood supporters booing Riewoldt at the 2010 grand final parade for daring to make the grand final? Is Pendlebury the only champion in football?

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 ******.
As compared to the past when everyone in society was racist, domestic violence rates were multiple fold higher, everyone smoked and people looked at those in a lower social class with contempt. Lets return to those days.

Yeah that was wrong too - I didn't boo but I don't make excuses for those who did either.

Perhaps you would like Riewoldts view on the Essendon booing:
“In the post-game, the five or 10 minutes when we’re here to celebrate Anzac Day, for it to carry on like it did … we’ve got to be better than that,” Riewoldt said.

or maybe Dunstall - another champion
"I just think we’re condoning inappropriate behaviour though. If I’m taking my kids to the footy, I want to teach them the right things about sportsmanship,” Dunstall responded.
"Yeah really disappointed that we’ve lost, but I’m not going to boo the winners because that’s sour grapes.”

Poor sports - sooks - disrespectful...not all Essendon supporters BTW.

Plenty of emotion in this thread, nearly as much the game had yesterday. Good read.

Also agree with the booing probably shouldn’t have booed at that time but hindsight is a wonderful thing. See it’s that emotion thing again, the stuff that makes people do stupid things and post like shit. Like in this thread.

So Adz, where was your thread when Ablett was booed all game Round 1 vs Collingwood....?

Disgusting behaviour by Collingwood fans right....???
Or Sheed and Gaff when we played them, i guess that is ok though, only a problem when it's a Pies player.

Probably been said. I get the Essendon supporters frustration, it was an appalling missed free kick right in front of the umpire. But it was inappropriate and poor behaviour to boo when they did at the presentations and Buckley was right to call it out.
