It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Fair comment Matt - I will be exercising this right on you next time we play in Melbourne...

West Coast fans booing Watson while sitting in the Chris Mainwarring stand with umpire Margetts cheating for them . Something a miss there. ![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

The KGB are involved... I'm not sure how yet, but I'm sure of it. I've passed your number onto the MI5.CURLY wrote:West Coast fans booing Watson while sitting in the Chris Mainwarring stand with umpire Margetts cheating for them . Something a miss there.

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
last night was cheats versus cheats
Eagles fans were thinking - 'how dare someone else cheat more than us!'

What the thick sandgropers didn't seem to realise was that the harder they booed Watson, the more determined he became... it definitely spurred him on to inspiring the Bombers' comeback.
Hird... The unflushable one is now... just a turd...

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Can someone please explain to plugger what booing is.
He doesn't know.
Also please advise those compliant fools on radio and Telly that they don't need to be constantly up Demetriou's passage way!

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
it is the fans right to boo oppersition players when it turns to your own players is when its a problem or when the boos turn into racist or personal attacks ... jobe getting all upset by it shows that maybe instead of anti obeasity drugs he should have taken a spoon full of HTFU ...

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
The only 2 ways a crowd can share their opinion, boo or cheer. Ofcourse it is their right.
Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
They shouldn't have booed instead everytime he touched the ball they should have shunned him by turning around and facing the back of the stands.
That would have showed him.
Think about it rather than the boo sound echoing around the ground if instead it was 5000 people simultaneously going "TUT TUT TUT".

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
I think this shows that the tide might be turning against Essendon/Watson. We probably won't get a better idea until they play Hawthorn on July 28. One thing that is for sure; If the media get a sniff that the tide is turning, they will jump as well !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
It's a very, very, very bad look for the AFL.
"Daddy, why is everyone booing the Bombers?" "Well son, they're dirty drug cheats". And like most things these days, the chants are likely to get worse each week.
For an organisation such as the AFL which prides itself on its image, it's a shocker.
And what's the international audience going to think?![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)

Fair dinkum.
Next we'll be expecting the crowd to be quiet whilst a player has a shot for goal!

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Racism - fair enough. It's disgusting and shouldn't be tolerated from the crowd.
Abuse - hmmm, grey area. Depends I suppose on the extent of it.
Booing - f*** me.

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Booing doesn't last !
If fans were calling him names then thats not on .
I just laugh at the mong supporters who take 10 to 20 seconds to realise who a player is before they start booing !
Like what happened in round 4 when BJ took that mark in the goal square at the start of the game !
BJ was walking in to kick the goal before most of our mong supporters realised it was him .

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Our game is full of passionate fans. That's what it's built on. How else can one explain the extraordinary success of this indigenous code played in a few states of a country with a relatively small population.
The fans love the game and the AFL loves that the fans love the game. Their whole promotion of the game is based on it.
Therefore it's only reasonable to expect that fans are going to respond the way the did last night when drug fuelled super humans run all over the top of the local team.
It's not neccessarily right, but it is a reasonable crowd response.

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Hope the AFL arselickers in the media come out just as strongly for Milne when he is next booed.
Hope the Essendon fans I have heard calling Milne a rapist and booed him for 9 years aren't being a bit precious or hypocritical are they????????

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
Yeah, I reckon the very worst Milne abuse I have heard was from these cheating scumbags... And that's saying something up when you think of what collingwood fans dish up.joffaboy wrote:Hope the AFL arselickers in the media come out just as strongly for Milne when he is next booed.

Re: It is a fan's right to boo - Matt Priddis
I agree with Priddis
AFL wont come out and clear this mess up with some leadership..... The public will make up their minds and voice their disapproval, and rightfully so....
He admitted to injecting himself numerously with a drug.... Does he expect sympathy?
I think the entire Essendon club should be ashamed of themselves.... Governance, ethics, duty of care, and now trying to plead ignorance, give me a break!
They were up to no good, a non doctor injecting peptides and not in a medical facility?
Not dodgy, not at all.... We will trust the man dismissed from two previous appointments.... Whatever...
Cry in shame....
