Bruce's goal celebration

[Range Rover 1,935]

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.

After the way he was booed all day i would have stuck more than a finger up

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!

[IWAP 170]

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!

[Rogue 585]

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.

[titan_uranus 25,045]

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.

[Geddy Lee 582]

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

I'll boo him next time too.

[Roost It 1,434]

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!!

[H_T 3,049]

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

Not something I'd be proud of...

Same.

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

[Arrow 1,257]

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.

never celebrated like that once with us. the arrogance of that man is amazing
