Oh and not throw imaginary spears at rival cheer squads.
Actually, given you can't cheer or boo, wouldn't the act of pretending to throw a deadly weapon at someone constitute an immediate sending off or visit to the MRP, in today's delicate game?

Stratton should have been sent off for pinching Orazio.
Who's your favourite, Pauline Hanson or Fraser Anning?
Boo and hurl racial abuse at the man until he reacts then whataboutism.

You mean the rule they changed for Lindsay Thomas right? He’s a different indigenous player...
Lindsay Thomas – 2012 – Sliding rule
Players throwing themselves on a loose ball and being praised for courage was common practice prior to 2012. However, Thomas' action to take out Gary Rohan's legs in round four – resulting in a horrific season-ending broken leg for the Swan – brought about change within a month in-season. Originally offered two matches for 'severe' rough conduct, Thomas' case was thrown out at the Tribunal in a controversial judgment. However, there was industry-wide acceptance when four weeks later umpires were called to pay a free kick against a player sliding and making contact below their opponent's knee – a rule that stands today.

Your obsession with identity is staggering....
Discussion around rule changes to protect players from opposition players sliding into them was around long before the Lindsay Thomas incident. In fact, it was around about the time of the clips I posted.
Your narrative is clear though...

Issues around identity? I’m just trying to have a discussion based on facts. You asserted the rule changed was specific to Goodes and were proven wrong. Just admit you made crap up to suit your narrative and were called out... again.

The irony is delicious.
Youve done nothing but try to make this a racial discussion. You even felt the need to address Thomas as "another Indigenous" player.
Youre a garden variety race baiter...nothing more, nothing less. Just an absolute bore
Have you managed to call those booing Ablett racists yet?

My point was you probably couldn’t tell the difference or didn’t care to tell the difference between the two different indigenous players. You certainly didn’t want it to get in the way of your little rewrite of history.
But let’s explore this - Thomas’ dirty sliding led to a rule change, most notably after breaking Gay Rohan’s leg. His ducking (along with Selwood) was attributed to a rule change there.
Both players have indigenous heritage. One made a public stand against racism, the other less outspoken on the topic.
Now one of these players copped widespread booing the other only when it directly related to an on field incident (and restricted to that game).
So are you saying that Goodes on field behaviour was so egregious, so much worse than Thomas to warrant this? If not, why do you think he was booed and Thomas wasn’t?

goodes was devisive
its pretty easy to try to rewrite history
but what needs to be commended is people who want to make a change, ala a certain fortescue exec
not people who simply want to blame others and not do the hard yards
and again goodes can say whatever he likes, and the rest of society should be allowed to voice an opinion
this thread feels like the project with the self righteous waleed supporters everywhere

why are the GOODES (waleed) supporters so abusive

And like so many others in this thread you disappear when given a hard question you can’t answer or deflect.

I didn't boo Goodes. Carlton don't play Sydney in WA so I never saw him play except through TV.
My recollection of the matter was that the booing increased markedly after the 'spearthrowing' incident. It was claimed later that it was part of a dance created by a junior indigenous team but as far as I can remember that was not claimed by Goodes on the night.
He was interviewed post-game by Matthew Richardson and strangely I have never seen this interview again.
It would be interesting to see if it is included in the doco because to leave it out would be revealing as to agenda.
In that interview, Goodes commented that he would not have done that action against his indigenous brothers on the Carlton team because they were indigenous like him. From memory he mentioned Chris Yarran by name.
It struck me at the time that it was a very divisive comment so I will be most interested to see if it is included in the film.
