Essendon fans booing.

[mxett]

He might have taken the oppotunity to take a stand now. You cant confirm or deny it.

then he deserves the criticism. Why come out and say your piece seconds after it has affected your player only. If you're going to take the higher moral stance be prepared to be criticised if your past hasnt been consistent. Having said that, I like Bucks but I thought his comments were misguided

Deserves critisim for standing up to a form of bullying?

Cool story.

Pretty dirty act by essendon supporters tbh. Never booed their club for the drug scandal but boo their own players (stanton).

Mate, this thread is about his lack of consistency, not standing up to bullying. Get a grip

edit, thread has been merged here I think

Well, I guess on this occasion, he couldn't just watch the bloke play, as the game was over. Also, it was pretty obvious the boos. Hard not to hear them.

Secondly, he's made the same point then, as he did in his Presser, the more the media focus on it, the more of an issue it will become.

Buckley's not a hypocrite at all in this case.

He's simply guilty of fanning the flames of fake outrage.

Oh dear

COLLINGWOOD coach Nathan Buckley has labelled the booing of Adam Goodes as “cowardly”, while fellow AFL coaches and former players have urged fans to stop.

“The sad part is that you wouldn’t boo Adam if you knew him. I’m such a supporter of his. He is an incredibly well respected human being.”

Buckley agreed, saying: “There is definitely a racist element to it. There’s nothing positive about booing. It’s cowardly.”

I’ve never really been a fan of Nathan Buckley. However last year, around the time when the booing of Adam Goodes was at its most fervent, Buckley shared a story about taking his kids to the footy.

According to The West, “When one started booing an opposition player, Buckley told him in no uncertain terms that he could barrack as hard as he liked for his team and the players he loved, but that booing was taboo.”

yes and your coach has consistently failed to stand up against bullying. Even in his time at WC he failed to stand up against senior players that bullied the younger players into having drugs with them.

Meanwhile our coach saw their was a problem and got rid of the "rat pack". Not saying he is perfect but atleast he tries to improve himself over time.

Buckley's response the day after the incident with the 13 year old:

But Buckley said the issue had the potential to start a chain of abuse which would worsen the situation.

The girl has already been widely vilified on social media.

"We're talking about a 13-year-old girl who's going to be a pariah," Buckley told radio SEN.

"This is a mistake that she's made because she's been conditioned around it somewhere, somehow.

"We can do more along with Sydney, along with every other club.

"I've heard this girl on social media, she's copping a gob full as well. People are saying things about her that I'm sure is hurtful to her.

"So we're no better than each other when we get in these situations."

Buckley says the girl needs to understand the consequences of her comments but that society in general needs to work harder to accept people from different backgrounds.

"It's not a great situation. A young girl has made a big mistake," he said.

"As Adam said, she needs to take responsibility for it. We need to just keep educating each other.

"We're talking about a society and community that are probably more accepting than most. But we can still get better."

Buckley said the incident could help highlight areas which need work in the community.

"We've had really strong role models take stances, whether it be race, colour or creed or general respect and responsibility," he said.

"You've got to be respectful of people around you. It's having just a little bit more of an understanding about how it affects the other person.

"Issues such as this and incidents such as this and the stance that Adam's taking are windows into where we need to get to and where we need to improve."

Pretty decent response from Buckley.

I laugh at people who think they know how the umpires are thinking.

Tell me, how do you know he sucked the umpire in, how do you know that the umpire was or wasn't going to pay the free anyway.

The fact is the umpire played the free. His actions made sure the umpire saw it. I call that intelligent football. Whether the umpire was or wasn't going to pay the free is irrelevant because he did. Just about everything that is written here is opinion based. IMHO he made certain the umpire would pay the free. Can I prove that? No. However, our very existence may be all a figment of our imagination too and the universe may not even exist. I cannot prove that statement to be incorrect too.

I'm hardly defending Whoosher. As I said, I like Bucks but I totally disagree with his assumption the fans were booing because Pendles won a medal

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Even Richmond fans haven't booed after the last 2 shallackings we've handed them.

See, i differ in my opinion, and yes i know it won't matter on here because of the club i support, but that was a free every day of the week.
He didn't need to milk it, but he did need to protect himself from injury.

You keep defending them mxett, we already know of at least one that was booing Pendles, htf do you know many more weren't, watch the tape, it sure looks like they were.

don't have a problem with essendon booing in general. Just feel probably shouldn't happen on ANZAC day. But meh, anzac day has turned into another reason for people to get drunk anyways, so go @ it.

I think you're misreading why there were boos

You keep defending them mxett, we already know of at least one that was booing Pendles, htf do you know many more weren't, watch the tape, it sure looks like they were.

because of the many fans I've spoken to who booed basically all stated it was about the umpires

Putting his head down even further may have made a flexion neck injury worse.

Bucks made the incorrect assumption that Pendles specifically was being booed, it was immediately after the final siren & the booing co-insided with the presentation so I can understand how he felt compelled to say something

 

[mxett]

and as I've stated, I wouldnt have booed when Pendles received his medal but I can understand why some people did. As a cohort footy fans arent generally known for their intelligence or sensitivity

 

[Woody15]

good on him for sticking up for his player. However, why didnt he have the same message for his own club's fans when they booed Goodes? Maybe he didnt think much of Goodes as a player

because he never said anything on the multiple occasions that Goodes was booed??

mxett you wouldn't happen to be ignoring my post re: Buckley condemning people booing Goodes by any chance would you?

 

[psychobrown]

Yeah Soccer Scotty looked pretty shellshocked at the backlash, I guess he was expecting them to have short memories about his anti-Anzac therefore anti-Australian Ben Browning, but another pleasing decimation of Essendon will compensate for that sour note in time.

 

[mxett]

mxett you wouldn't happen to be ignoring my post re: Buckley condemning people booing Goodes by any chance would you?

Happy to admit I was wrong on Bucks and his stance against booing players previously. Still think he made an incorrect assumption

 

[LoungeLizard]

I'm not talking about where his head was, i'm talking about him coming out backwards like he did.

 

[Woody15]

How about you YippeeYiYeo .. willing to put your hand up and admit you were wrong about Buckley and his previous stance on Adam Goodes?

 

[LoungeLizard]

I think you're misreading why there were boos

Yeah, you see mxett, it's hard to believe you, because you were saying this straight after the game, and i don't believe you talked to many supporters in that time.

 

[SuperSteele22]

What if Essendon supporters are just mistaken and they were actually booing their own players for continuously giving the footy back to us every time they got it when the game was up for grabs in the last ten minutes?

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

How about you YippeeYiYeo .. willing to put your hand up and admit you were wrong about Buckley and his previous stance on Adam Goodes?

No.

Because he said the media were at fault for putting so much attention on booing, and then a few years later brings the subject right back into the spotlight with the first words of his speech on ANZAC Day.

It’s no coincidence that Buckley tried to squash the topic when it was his supporters at fault, but now fans the flames that it’s his player that copped it. That’s as hypocritical as it gets.
