Caro Apologise to Dees Fans

[Redleg 38,618]

On Footy Classified Caro said it was poor of Pies fans to boo Oliver, for being named BOG, just like Dees fans booed Pendles for getting the same honour in 2019. Problem was it was an Anzac Day game and Pies played Essendon and it was the Bomber fans who booed.

Waiting for the apology Caro!

I thought you were going to say she apologized for having a crack at our crowd numbers when Richmond only got 21k last week

Hope you've got a decent wingback Chester (with matching footstool), a roaring fire, a decent pipe, plenty of smokin' tobaccy, a giant barrel of Melbourne premiership port and a compliant pooch (slipper retrieval) handy Mr Leg

You will be waiting a while me thinks.

Maybe I’ve got rose tinted glasses but I can’t see the Melbourne fans booing a player for being named BOG. Oliver was an absolute freak on Monday, similar to Max the other week he alone almost dragged us over. 

Pies fans really are a special breed of filth.

I think you might have rose coloured glasses on. Perhaps a generation or two ago it might have been different, but nowadays all clubs have all sorts of supporters. Varying degrees perhaps, but I think in the same situation (euphoria after a big win, disappointment  the award didn’t go to our own player), there would have been audible boos also.

I think that you are missing the point VC it was an Essendon / Collingwood game where the Booing came from, Caro was wrong but she still got in a cheap shot at us again an admission that she was wrong may help.!!

I do have a bottle of Robbie Flower Port, that is probably undrinkable now, after so many years adorning the bar.

I think you are missing the point that my comment had nothing to do with Caro saying it was Melbourne supporters that booed Pendles (which is obviously a mistake as he got booed on an Anzac Day game). I was responding to Pates more general comment that Melbourne supporters wouldn’t boo a player for being named BOG.

Wow forgot about that I have one to, used to like a port in the old days not sure i'm ready to try it.

[Sydee 3,759]

Neanderthals booing a player that goes as hard as Oliver for the full 4 quarters is to be expected from that lot

Hopefully it is more incentive for the MFC to crush them later this season and send them out of the finals race

Leaving the ground after the game, walking from MCC to Richmond station, I saw no less than 3 fights involving Collingwood supporters.  In each case police were restraining them and their feral mates still having a go at the police. 

Poor coppers must hate having to attend their games......

Same here.   Hawthorn v Collingwood 42,000. Combined membership 160K

                       Melbourne v Collingwood 76,000.  Combined membership 140K

Richmond 21K v Port and not a peep, but she has a crack at us for 29K attending the Freo game.

Completed the sentence.

On a side note, and not sure why I’m playing devil’s advocate to defend Collingwood fans; weren’t they booing more because they wanted Cox to win?

Caro is like a bottle of A2 milk from 2010, it went rotten a decade ago.

Thanks Sue.

What is the award, dinner for 2 with Caro at the Swan Hotel?

Actually wouldn’t mind having a chat with her about footy.

But was that because of something that happened during the game rather than booing a player for an exceptional game.

I don’t know again if I’m being biased, but I think that a little different. I’m not saying it’s good, and the fans shouldn’t have done that, but booing a fantastic player who’s being singled out for being fantastic seems particularly vindictive. 

They also boo’d him during the game because he pushed one of their players off our guys and then got shoved hard for it. Oliver isn’t liked by any oppo fans though, admired as a player but he gets regularly boo’d for no good reason.

Agree. It really is time for Caro to retire permanently. Her opinion pieces have become predictable and her style tiresome. Lately, it feels that she is writing just for loose change and to maintain a journalistic presence both for the paper and for TV.

As I said, it has become tiresome.

I drank mine immediately after the GF, which was always my intention; it was Excellent!

Re. Wilson, the biggest narcists going around. She doesn't talk footy, politics and innuendo are her game, a very ordinary individual
