I think that is horrible and childish behaviour, if not downright bullying.
Who will speak up for these poor referees who cop far more abuse and supporter wrath, than the likes of Gazza and Pendles.
Never seen a major AFL figure speak out against the mistreatment of umpires, even when James Hird publicly humiliated Scott McLaren all those years ago on The Footy Show, most of the pubic sympathy at that time was with Hird.
Seriously, I think an honest and robust discussion of the mistreatment of umpires is needed, it's not their fault the clowns at AFL House change the rules every year, making an already hard game to adjudicate, even more difficult
