Who are the "un-booable" characters of the AFL?

[element]

Pavlich.

I may dislike Freo, but it's a testament to Pav that he stuck it out during the tough years while the SA clubs were luring and he also comes across as a genuinely nice person. Nothing but respect for him.
And maybe my memory sucks but I don't recall him ever being suspended or fined.
If Freo win a premiership, I would be happy for him.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Naitanui. Rare quality of character.

I don't expect better than pure arrogance from Sydney tossers so I guess we are even

Eddie has taught you well.

Nah, more to do with Cola

 

[Scoopar]

We didn't boo him today

Just that ******* maggot 15

The only number 15 playing yesterday was Jarrod Witts.

I've got no idea why you would think Jarrod Witts is a maggot...... but he must have done something real bad if his own supporters think that.

Actually he got three weeks in a Derby in 2012.

The guy in green, maggots are green

If I'm in a boo -ing mood I'll boo -the entire bombers team, quite a lot of geeeelong, (daisy not any more, too sad to bother) umpires no 15 and 17, other very boo-able from the past, that Davis traitor, Barry hall, both Scott brothers,

Unbooable- obviously all my team, Big Nick, absolute star and decent human being, just a gentleman, Treadrea, Primus, both abletts, Chris Dawes,

 

[Zeke]

I don't think I've ever seen Pendlebury get booed. Seems pretty universally respected.

I doubt he's even given an opposition player a dirty look, he's just all game face.

 

[DrEvil_]

Stanton

 

[ziad]

Cyril, NicN, Priddis, Roughie, Pav, Mundy spring to mind but there are many more

Boos for traiters, thugs, divers and snipers

 

[StillAtLarge]

Robert Harvey was the ultimate unbooable baby kissing type.
Pretty much anyone other than Robert Harvey is booable.

Cats fans & anyone estranged from a parent would disagree...Harvey would've copped it if he'd gone again in '09.

 

[Leeda]

I don't have one but surely in some strange way it is a reverse idea that you really like them but they are so good that you get
tired of them being so good.

Or that they are just irritating with seemingly arrogant attitudes that you wonder if they are just trying to itch you up the wrong way. Um that means that you scratch but they just keep going. And that is the point.

but my non booable character is Cyril. No surname required.

 

[jwint43]

Tom rockliff. He is everything you want in a footballer. Tough, loyal, hard at it, good leader. Brisbane owe him some success for sticking it out so far and not losing faith

 

[Seadog]

What I don't understand is that if certain players are booed the crowd is called racist, yet if a Caucasian player is booed nobody bats an eyelid about it.

Well, unless the overwhelming majority of the crowd was non Caucasian it's hardly likely to be racism is it.

 

[Schauermann]

Pav being named a lot here and would be among the first coming to my mind as well, but having watched the replay from the weekend: He actually got a few boos.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Well, unless the overwhelming majority of the crowd was non Caucasian it's hardly likely to be racism is it.

Assuming booing is racist just because the person being booed is a different race to the majority of the crowd is reverse racism. The media should get their facts straight before they do that.

In AFL, a player who is booed is usually one that the crowd has perceived has does something dirty in play, or an ex-player from their club. Of course, Goodes never does anything dirty in play so it must be racism

Booing is probably the first noise I was taught to make at the football as a kid in the 60's. That and "ball", "chewy on your boot" and "h'ray".

[AFDogs]

Bob Murphy
Nick Riewoldt
Chris Judd
Kieran Jack
Gary Abblett Jr.
Nat Fyfe

To name a few.

 

[tek87]

big fan of eagle Josh Kennedy. perception wise he has a modest personality and no one competes harder. one of the best defensive pressure big men of all time as well and has a humourous kicking style. actually the sydney josh kennedy is likeable too

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Silk is bood every Port game?

He is, but it's not for any other reason than he left Port. Unlike others who are booed for being flogs.

Reckon Cyril is pretty much unbooable. Humble little bloke who just plays footy.

 

[Eshay187]

Everybody can be booed or jeered.

Ffs how soft have we become.

Soft enough to be offended by a dance apparently

He's a bit of a mouthy campaigner though.
