Bruce's goal celebration

In soccer it is customary for a player who has given years of service to a particular club not to rub it back in their faces with wild gesticulations when he scores a goal against them in new colours. Not sure if that applies to other sports or AFL football but I think it's a noble and sportsmanlike ideal, especially for players who have been treated very well and handsomely rewarded over the course of their careers.

Bruce's grinning fist pump at the MCC wing was very noticeable yesterday after he snapped a goal during their third quarter run on. Kind of sad for a 200+ game veteran of our club.

    Blown away by this thread. Mods - please close it.

    How much more did Bruce celebrate his goal compared to when he kicked them for us? As much as I dislike him, I thought he was quite mellow compared to some of his celerations when in the red and blue.

    Did Dunn show him any respect after he kicked his goal? It's footy, harden up.

    Exactly, so stop grandstanding and asking for mods to delete threads.

    OK, I apologise for requesting the delete, I couldn't believe that someone would have an issue with how the opposition celebrated. But I don't apologise for the rest of my post.

    He kicked a goal that started the momentum. Regardless of who I played for, current or previous, I would celebrate any goal in the same fashion.

    Grandstanding?

    Doesn't worry me at all. I'm glad he's gone and allowed another spot for a good young Player. Bruce is nearly dusted, as he's been gathering it, dust, for years.

    Yes, absolutely shocking to see a player celebrating an excellent goal in which he set-up AND then subsequently completed, the play!

    I must say it was refreshing to hear Hawthorn supporters complaining about his lack of speed and the innacuracy of some of his disposals

    not sure why im commenting but surely the way our boys played in the 2nd half is a tad more worrying than an opposition player kicking a goal and enjoying it. regardless of who it is.

    The bloody cheek!

    Good for him - the Hawks had been getting smashed and needed to come out and kick some goals. After a long run he ended up kicking it (despite a terrible handball to the ankles of a teammate), and I would have been excited too.

  • Quote

    Ridiculous thread.

    I did, however, enjoy the booing. But he was more than entitled to celebrate kicking a goal that he started, that kept Hawthorn in the game (that's what it may have felt like when he kicked it) and that was against his old side when half the crowd was booing him.

    We might have kept McDonald on our list if Bruce hadn't ****ed us around.

    I'll boo him next time too.

  • Quote

    I booed him on the inside when he played for us and I booed him on the outside last night.(All tongue in cheek) God I love the Footy!!

  • Quote

    I thought the crowd where I was - was relatively respectful and mellow towards Bruce. Except for the jerk who embarrassed himself close-by in the members near the end of the game when we were 40 odd points behind calling for Bruce to "turn it over ya hack!", much to the amusement of some Hawk supporters.

    Wow. Get over yourself. I bet you were one of the one's booing him all day too.

    Bigger things to worry about Rangey, get your head out of your backside.

    Absolutely ludicrous.

    Yes that was happening frequently in my part of the ground as well.

    I can almost guarantee that was me.

    Was so worth copping the greasies

    Same.

    Tapscott is a perfect replacement. And can actually kick the ball

    If you live and breathe Melbourne i'm more than happy to stand up and abuse like I would if we were in front or at the start of the game.

    I may have been the laughing stock, but the real joke is people who leave before the finish.

    At least at Hawthorn he can claim a group discount at Advanced Hair with Guerra and Hale.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
