It's pretty sad to see the AFL media piling onto a mad, passionate Pie fan whose IQ is probably below 80 and who's probably not playing with a full deck.
Delving into his social media accounts and then reposting his profane tweets is just a total smear job. Whoever did that should be sacked.
First, they kicked him out of the ground for barracking like an idiot. Now they're using their media platform to bully him.
The AFL and all their lackeys working in the media are just total c****. They really are. None of them put a single cent back into the game. They are just parasites who make a good living from football (thanks to us fans who put our money in and and slavishly follow the game.) Yet they prance around thinking they are the big stars of the show and stick the boot into the little people every chance they get.
I hate them.

Hah, no surprises that tool Charlotte Grieve deleted her tweet promoting that trash story she wrote about Grech.
One day I can see the general population snapping and going after the media.

Reckon you’re confusing Big Footy users with the general public. Most people just watch their team and ignore the noise. It’s the more obsessive fans that dissect the minutiae. I enjoy following all the details but my enjoyment of game day is much the same as ever (well, not last Sunday).

First, they didn’t kick him out, they said they would if he didn’t tone it down, a fair warning. Second, there’s video of him at the footy shouting f... these f...... c...., let’s get these c..... That’s not passionate fan, that’s anti-social arseh*le. Other people have a right to enjoy the football with their kids without being subjected to that kind of behaviour.
Lol. No it doesn’t.

Fair enough too.
Got to hit those currupt campaigners where it hurts... $$$$.
If we the the fans just sit there and accept this bullshit then our game will be gone forever.

Oh noes I won’t be able to do anti social things at the footy anymore like swearing and abusing the players, umps and anyone else that triggers me.....oh the horror 
What happens if crowds increase due to a crackdown on boorish behaviour?

Settle down snowflake it has always been anti social behaviour

Not wanting people to be verbally abusive is one thing, not allowing loud cheering though is completely ridiculous.

Isn't that the whole argument there though? I don't think anyone would have a problem with loud cheering and banter. Nobody is expecting people to sit there and do golf claps and quietly say "bravo". Extreme abuse or language is the problem. One thread here is going on about the game dying while this one is lamenting the death of anti-social behaviour. If you want to attract the next generation to the footy then maybe make it so you can actually bring your kids along without the fear of them being exposed to some nutter throwing out expletives.

Who can’t go to a football game and stop themselves from swearing like some feral peanut for three hours.

This is irrelevant to what I posted about the media's treatment of the Magpie fan and their high-handed contempt for rank and file football fans.
You have a habit of completely missing the point.

hahaha, as usual facts help complete the picture
Anyway I've been to plenty of games where flogs like the one mentioned in that article have soured the experience, one Sydney fan in particular, was a true obnoxious imbecile, but I digress.
I have no problem with people barracking hard, it's a part of the game that, in the right hands, can be hilarious. But when you have someone loudly F'ing & C'ing this that & everything, it's not clever, it's not funny & it's certainly not enjoyable to be around for one quarter, let alone 4. & then of course there's the issue of kids being exposed to these morons, it's not healthy imho.
I doubt there's anything really going on here, just the media ramping up a story.

Do we have proof that’s all he was doing? Jus taking him for his word seems strange when others haven’t been taken on face value in their statement ( I.e disabled guy punched at the game).
I don’t think anyone has an issue with barracking loudly, it only becomes an issue when there’s abusive language involved.
No one needs to be exposed to that aggressive behaviour.
How many of these supporters that say they are boycotting games are members?
Depends on how far you want to push it.
F-Bombs and C-Bombs, sure, that can be cut out. Telling an umpire they've made a shit decision is perfectly acceptable though. Calling them maggots is also perfectly acceptable.
If you're looking to be surrounded by 40-100k people and have them all behave to your own personal set of standards you have another thing coming. And if the AFL attempt to make that so they'll find very quickly that the number attending will drop off.
I'm a 21-year Hawthorn member and haven't set foot inside an AFL stadium since round 2. I gave my membership to a mate and told him to keep it.
I won't be back any time soon.
