Hey D-land! What an exciting win we had today!!!

What do Dees supporters think about Jeffy G's Indigenous war-cry dance?

Ultimate Demon

If that was an indigenous dance, I dance like an indigenous man every Friday night.

Was an interesting one. Barely a second of it... but enough to get the Collingwood cheer squad booing him.

Then again, the Collingwood cheer squad were booing the outrageous free kick disparity... 15-8 in their favour at one point.

Loved it.

Hated pies fans response.

It wasn't even a complete war cry dance, and according to the commentators it wasn't even half a war cry dance!

I don't see why there was so much talk and fuss on the radio about this issue anyway

Good on Jonesy too for the gesture after he kicked the game sealer!

If that and the action of our captain don't change Demons supporters minds re the booing of Goodes nothing will.

Great work Jeff, Nathan and the whole team for wearing the bands.

Did he say it was a Koori dance?

Just looked like one of those crazy NRL celebrations to me.

If that was a tribal war dance, the other tribe would lose the fight from being too busy pizzing themselves laughing.

Nothing beats the Haka.

I thought it was just an airplane. Could be wrong. Maybe it was a magpie?

When it was replayed on the scoreboard later on, the announcer said aeroplane dance. Absolutely no way that was an aeroplane dance. Clearly trying to throw water on it, they were. Then on 7 News, they tried to say there was no booing after the celebration. [censored]. They booed him just about every time he touched the ball again after that moment.

Anyway, I loved it.

Thought he was taking the pizza out of the cheer squad more than anything.

He kicks some amazing goals.

Wish he was more deadly from a set shot but.....

Thanks Blues!!!!

We owe you.....

Nothing.

Wonder if the continual booing against HL by the Pies fans will be mentioned in the media. Guarantee not.

Why should it be mentioned RL?

Isnt it obvious but let's not discuss it.

I was pleased to hear on Friday night that there was acknowledgement that a certain player may be getting booed for reasons other than race. From none other than Hamish, brother of the village idiot.

I thought it was pretty obvious why the question was asked. But let's not discuss it.

I really liked all the indigineous post goal celebrations I saw over the weekend for the following reasons:

- they were brief but noticeable and didn't scream "look at me".

- I don't view them as inciteful in the slightest

- their style appeared more traditional and even personal (to my eyes)

In short, they were everything Goode's actions were not.

Really saddens me that so many still seem to be ignorant as to what is actually going on. Booing H has NOTHING to do with the booing of Goodes.

In two weeks I'm attending Swans V Pies. I wonder if White will be playing. I'm going with a Swans mate who will give him some stick if he's lining up for goal.

Again, some acknowledgement on Friday night from a major broadcaster that the booing may not be race related.

You are free to believe whatever you want.

Either way it is still completely unrelated to the booing of H. To suggest otherwise is completely illogical and ignorant.

Meanwhile other media outlets acknowledge it is race related.

You too are free to believe whatever you want.

I thought Sydney's Jetta did a great dance after the first goal of his match. May well become more common after goals.

It looked like some sort of hybrid to me. An aeroplane celebration combined with the leg shake the indigenous dancers do. I liked it whatever it was.

As Ron might say, I love Jeffy.

Did they boo Dawes yesterday?

Did they boo Dawes yesterday?

We're not seriously turning the booing of H into a race thing are we? Please tell me we're not.

Go and watch his Pies farewell speech. He may as well have flipped the bird at the end of it.

Well 'imo', it started out as racist, but whatever it is now, its certainly 'Bullying', incessant, & villifying...

Sigh.

I just... it gets so tedious. Let's try again.

Dear Hypothetical Person at the heart of the campaign to direct a completely unprecedented sustained booing against double-brownlow winner, premiership captain and champion of the game Adam Goodes,

- You boo Goodes for 'reasons'. Sure, they're trumped up hype-driven and in several aspects totally incorrect, but still 'reasons'.

- Now make a list of players who meet all the same kinds of 'reasons' and have been even more pretentiously political. You don't boo any of them by half the measure.

- The difference is that Goodes barked back at racist dogs and you are 'offended' by that because you're emotionally invested in a myth that Australia has no stain of genocide and that Aboriginal people weren't/aren't subject to sustained personal and practical harassment and discrimination.

- So, you insist that Goodes is a 'sook' and is totally out of line to do such horrible things like suggest that 'Australia Day', the celebration of the British declaring possession of the continent, kind of means something awful to Indigenous Australians.

I'm sure you have lots of Aboriginal friends etc etc blah blah. But would they still be your friends if they 'offended' you by daring to stand firm against your dismissals of stolen generations, genocide, invasion, disenfranchisement, relocation, harassment and discrimination? Would you call them 'sooks' and 'ungrateful for everything we gave you'? Would you tell them that their own lived experiences 'didn't really happen like that'? Do you think your kids have a right to abuse them at the football and not be asked to leave?

In short, do Aboriginal people have to keep their mouth shut and put up with whatever you want to say about their own history and lives, in order for you to accept them?

Yes, that's racist. A special kind of racism wrapped up in a kind of half-arsed patriotism and easily wounded ego.

And now you are part of making a champion of the game the most booed player in the history of Australian Football, and the football community is facing at the prospect of seeing this rare and brilliant 300+ game player being the first player ever booed as they leave the field on retirement. You bring shame upon our game in a way that will be recorded as one of the most drearily disappointing moments in its history.

Take a good hard look in the mirror and decide whether you want to be a part of that.
