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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
