Goodes' return to Subi.

[walken79]

Apologies if discussed elsewhere already but I couldn't see anything.

I really hope this article is on the money & we show that we are better than the scum up the road. I, like Ross, am of the belief that there will not be booing towards one of the champs of the game. Am I right to think this?

So over this topic.

Lucky the other mob have their own game to slither to this weekend, so hopefully there will be very few of their supporters at our game to give us a bad name.

Don't under estimate the power of a Freagle.

The general philosophy should be to never lower yourself to the level of Eagles fans.

Save your vocal cords for Sam Mitchell.

In that case, you could have just not bothered commenting in here.

I think the crowd won't boo. Maybe a few will but there is no need.

 

[clivenator26]

What if he is lining up for a goal in the last qtr and the score is tight? Are we allowed to boo?

I hope if we go down that we don't resort to some angry vengeful booing.

 

[Marty Whitelaw]

Goodes is a champion player who is quite possibly in Perth for the last time. Plus I don't recall him ever taking a cheap shot (Sam Mitchell style) or anything at one of our players, so I have no interest in booing him.

 

[holy diver]

Unless he stages for free kicks again I couldn't see any reason for booing.

Set shots are fine for me - you are booing the shot at goal and trying to put them off with a bit of crowd noise & atmosphere. I'll boo whoever is taking a shot at goal, regardless of if I know who they are etc.

Booing them for every possession is far more weighted imo - i.e. our fans booing Judd, Mitchell or Harvey. There is reasons behind it.

Agree 100% with OP.
Not to mention this will very well possibly be last time we see the great man in the flesh at Subi.

OK to boo him like any other player out there.Its the constant booing for non related footy reasons thats the problem. I don't think Adam would care if he was booed when kicking for a goal for example.

Exactly. I boo an opposition player or if they repeatedly draw frees via staging, diving etc.

 

[Borderline]

Who cares, there's 21 other blokes out there wearing red and white, couldn't care less about any of em. Do whatever you want

 

[Pusswah]

If he does some of his trademark dirty sliding in with the knees or some other dog act, i'll boo him. That ridiculous stuff that was happening week in week out every single touch was a joke though.

 

[Yeti]

Do.

Not.

Care.

He's never been booed at a Freo game. Not booing him this weekend isn't a statement, it's just continuity.

 

[calaisking]

General consensus on here is he won't get boo'd but I can guarantee he will. Just won't cop it as bad as the Eagles fans gave it too him.

And if people want to boo him, then so be it. That's their decision. Move a long.

 

[JunglistPosse]

There will be plenty of booze consumed at this game, that I'm sure of.

 

[Ripper]

If he does something boo able I will boo him. If he is having a shot at goal I will Boo him.

Stuff the "thought police"

 

[mightymouse75]

He will be booed like any other player. If he sooks about being booed he will be booed more. If he incites a part of the crowd he will be given the works. The man is a massive entitled sook.

 

[believe_it]

I think everybody should cheer raucously every time he gets the ball - mind games.

 

[Whatname]

Prefer to save my boos for the fluro cheats.

Though I do like to give the opposition a big boo when they come on the ground, surely that wouldn't be frowned upon.
