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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Not something I'd be proud of...

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
