Round 5 Non-Essington Games

[aboods]

The booing of Goodes was a little of column A (sportsmanship), a little of Column B (racism), a little of Column C (tally poppy syndrome) and also a bit of Column D (herd mentality). Trying to categorise all the people who booed into the same group just peeves off everyone.

Having seen all the racial abuse aimed at Betts, it’s naive to think that there wasn’t racists who got their jollies off being able to vent their hatred toward a publicly vocal Goodes, whilst being able to blend in with the majority of people who were booing him for being an on-field menace.

Also, good players have always copped crap from opposition fans whether deserved or not, Coleman was often spat on by scum supporters.

So it was all Herd’s fault?

I certainly take no responsibility

Hawks supporters booed him because of their rivalry of Geelong and because he’s a champion. Same reasons he was booed round 1 vs Collingwood
