Yep and when sides try to physically intimidate the youngest player on the opposition, then go missing when the ball is to be won late in the game. Weak campaigners the Bloods.

Why is it such a big deal when Collingwood fans boo a player... yet when Ginny got booed last year, De Goey got booed, Pendles got booed, Daicos gets booed for being to ****ing good at 20 years old, it's perfectly fine.
Deadset sick of the media and it being anti-Collingwood. I didn't expect it from Bucks - he didn't have a thing to say when Sydney fans were booing a 19 year old Ginnivan last year.
On the other hand, I love how jealous and mad are that Collingwood are winning every week.

Same as every game I watched on TV sounds like the Commentators are calling the game from the Opposition Cheersquad
She's symptomatic of Channel 7's attitude towards the broadcast - they want to promote a more 'inclusive' environment so they employ someone who tells you what you've seen with your own eyes thirty seconds ago and who offers very little real insight.
They then proclaim that she's the best expert commentator in the game at present, hoping that if they say that enough, people might believe them.
Channel 7 and a lot of the AFL's accredited journalists treat the public like mugs, knowing that the only option anyone really has is to either switch off or subscribe to Foxtel/Kayo.
Wayne Carey was excellent in special comments - unfortunately, he's a deeply flawed individual who burnt each and every chance given to him.
Much like the cricket coverage, commentators (particularly special comments) seem to become more comfortable after their first few years in the system and unfortunately, become less relevant. Cameron Ling is an excellent example in the footy broadcast - refreshing at first, but now just one of the sycophants with his own favourites who doesn't analyse the game.
Pearce never had the gravitas or insight - but Channel 7 needed a face. They would've done a lot better with Abbey Holmes in special comments, who seems to research players and watch games outside the AFL, thereby allowing her to contribute meaningfully when they throw to her.

Except when he's calling a Brisbane game. His bias makes me sick, you would think there is only one team playing. It's Abbey for me, Daisy just doesn't cut it
The standard of call-by-call commentary has also deteriorated severely.
To me it seems to mirror a similar approach Ch. 9 took with their cricket coverage prior to Ch. 7 obtaining the rights, where legends like Warne, Healy, Slater etc. were asked to be something they're not. The coverage has become more 'casual viewer' friendly at the expense of professionalism and being genuine.
(Edit: Slater's not a legend but was a very talented cricketer)

Love how in the presser McRae was asked about how Ginni felt as sub. He said the coaches frame it with players as, you're in our best 23 players and you'll get your opportunity to play today.

I'm not sure what the media don't understand about being a football supporter. Do they expect a polite round of applause and a "well done No. 23". Franklin has been a very successful player and will rank highly in the years to come. At that time people will not 'Boo' him. They might occasionally do so now because he is a high profile player who doesn't play for Collingwood and is therefore not entitled to any level of immunity. Great player or not. Minor players don't attract the enmity of the crowd unless they do something reprehensible. It is not a statement about his aboriginality.
It's all about spectators having a stake in the game. It's a stretch to expect supporters to come to the game, get over excited and anxious and then be indifferent towards the opposition. Within limits, it was ok for opposition players to try to physically intimidate N Daicos, they setting the tone. Spectators can only contribute vocally to that adversarial scene.
Thinking back to the Adam Goodes times, the media wanted to make it a big racial issue when it was simply a case of upsetting a player who'd proved to be gettable. Goodes was a great player and is respected as such.
That said, I'm not encouraging 'Booing' because it is a low and unimaginative bar, casting aspersions about his mother's taste in jellybeans is a much safer path.

Actually think the review ump made a mistake for the first time in a while. Goal Ump was right to review so many, with so many close calls, but that goal off the shin of the swans rookie wasnt a goal
There no longer is any sports journalism - it has gone the way of genuinely insightful current affairs shows and news that has actual news in it - on purpose - and not by accident.
Every single aspect of genuine entertainment has been trivialized to the point of total irrelevance.

Disappointed that we’ve apologised.
I expect Sydney to apologise now for booing an injured player last year.

Interestingly on the Swans board, a couple of posters are getting into their blokes for getting stuck into Nick. Saying it was embarrassing etc.

It was only embarrassing as the soft ***** looked as tough as the cast of the Big Bang Theory trying to scare Nick
