100,000 people booing as one

[Enrico_Misso]

Simply cannot believe the stupidity of the AFL to invite James Turd to present the Norm Smith medal.
The man is a total DISGRACE.
Singlehandedly HE blemished this great sport and still refuses to accept responsibility.

I hope 99,999 others will join me on Grand Final day and stand up and BOO the CRAP out of this A'HOLE!!!!!!!!!

[kosifantutti]

I'll enjoy seeing him present it to big Jake.

[Waltzing St Kilda]

Unbelievable, tone-deaf move.

[shrodes]

It's presented by a former winner

2012 - Kemp (1994)
2013 - Williams (1995)
2014 - Archer (1996)
2015 - McLeod (97-98)
2016 - Shannon Grant (1999)
2017 - Hird (2000)

[satchmo]

Has he agreed to do it?

[thejiggingsaint]

How embarrassing ! I possess so little respect for James Hird, that I wouldn't even be prepared to expend precious energy and oxygen in booing him.

[saintbrat]

Has he agreed to do it?

apparently mail has been sent- But he is yet to open

first word is that he will accept?

[jonesy]

Apparently Phil Walsh's son will be presenting the coach's medal

In this case I would've hoped they'd make an exception. I have an idea. If he tells the AFL what his players were injected with, he should be considered for the honour in the future. Give the honour to Simon Black or whoever's next in line.

[White Winmar]

Make that Shaun Hart.

[Trev from the Bush]

Than heavens he only has to place the medal on a ribbon around the player's neck.

Wouldn't trust the bugger as far as I could kick him if he had to pin it on a player's chest!

according to the AFL, turned down the invitation.

[St Loxton]

That was the dumbest idea I've Hird in a long time.
Twits.

[Sainternist]

They'll probably arrange the ceremony in a way he he's least likely to be booed.

"And now we have James Hird to present the Norm Smith Medal to <winner>"

Tania may be checking for loop holes

I sincerely wish this to be true.

TOO SOON really doesn't quite cover it ...

[skeptic]

Presenting the award for a super, amazing performance to the player who's game was unbelievably superior to his peers... James Hird

[saintspremiers]

Did Gilligan suffer a few too many concussions banging into the door of Dimwit's door or something ?

[The Fireman]

They may send Adam Goodes out at the same time to take some heat off or just confuse the crowd.

Worse than awarding them first pick??? AFL is a joke

[Viking3]

The AFL, as an organisation, are disgraceful!
