Opinion Goal Celebrations

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Imagine if someone did that in the AFL

You mean like Danger, Gablett and Selwood.... i can see Danger being a huge fan !

 

[Professor Knowall]

I don't care if a goal celebration is good or not so, clever or dumb, spontaneous or heavily rehearsed. I just wanna see my team celebrating goals more often than their opponents.

Cringeworthy and makes the player look like a tosser. I would like to submit the following into evidence:

 

[joy division]

Great game this. Fans need to sit down and shut up, now the players do too. Hopefully this years Grand Final winners don't celebrate when they lift the cup.

 

[masai]

It’s all a bit cornsey to me.

 

[Pusswah]

Timing is everything.

 

[wagstaff]

If nothing else, it gives media commentators the perfect chance to be pompous and self-righteous and admonish this apparently awful behaviour.

Brad Johnson was guilty of that in the commentary on this incident; kept mentioning it afterwards as if it was the catalyst for Port to fall away in the latter stages. Spare me.

 

[wagstaff]

What odds Caro's Arrow tonight will be about how we don't need Duursma's behaviour in the game (followed by Hutchison defending it and saying that's how players act in America)?

 

[Checkered]

* me that was cringe worthy

 

[Hairydawg]

Tevez carried around a baby’s dummy in his sock all match for his celebration. That’s the next thing - props.

Who gives a s**t, let people do what they want. If a player wants to celebrate a goal then good on him. No need to suck all the joy and personality out of the game.

 

[The King!]

its a goal celebration, who cares

 

[RAPPA]

No issue with a goal celebration provided it’s entertaining. The bow and arrow was not an entertaining option.

 

[gavaniacono]

So much has been made of Duursma and his Bow and Arrow, where do you sit on this issue? Do you want to see more of it in our game? Is it a sign of arrogance?

Personally I love it. At the time we were only down by 16 points and if we weren’t a complete train wreck this year it might of been a huge spark for us. I love seeing players with passion and i’d Love to see more of it. View attachment 713317I’m

Let the young bloke enjoy his effort. All good fun.

 

[Handsuper47]

I don't mind it all, in fact I think it's awesome.. just not while your team is getting pumped on the scoreboard.

Can you send your mobile number to the Players Association so those thinking of celebrating can run it past you first?

I think the opposite actually, I reckon the arrow will be at people having a go at Duursma about it

I thought he looked like a serious w***er but I also want more villians in the game

 

[finn]

I’m more amused by the whole “showing individuality when celebrating a goal” and then Duursma borrowing a celebration from another league and player (ie no individuality or creativity at all).
Preferably come up with something unique if you’re going down that road.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Celebrating is fine.

Shooting a pretend bow-and-arrow is absolute w***er behaviour. A-Grade tosser material.

 

[Off The Couch]

Each to their own, bit Cringeworthy for mine but I’m not going to lose sleep over it.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Different generation I suppose but I just look at it and think... “what a dickhead”

Ah, the good old days. When there was something just a bit queer about blokes who expressed themselves in any way.

 

[Dixie Normous]

I love Norm

 

[Vassp]

Some of the commentators are acting like white toast nanny preaches, time to put some jam on your bread or veggie mite on your toast and enjoy the players who enjoy their efforts.
I didn’t mind it, it was his expression and he is entitled to it.
