Will you BOO Luke Jackson this weekend?

[Supreme_Demon 3,903]

I know people might think I am being provocative with this.

But I am very curious to know?

Will Melbourne supporters be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?

Is it even appropriate to boo at all? We are supposed to be better than Collingwood and Essendon supporters and their vile antics.

I have heard some say no that they won't do that.

While I have also heard others say yes, that they will boo Luke Jackson.

I myself am currently undecided if I will boo Luke Jackson.

I am quite torn on the matter.

On the one side, Luke Jackson is a Premiership hero who helped turn momentum in our favour to help the Melbourne Demons end their 57 year Premiership drought. Something that ALL Melbourne supporters would be grateful of.

However, on the other side you could say he showed disloyalty by leaving the Melbourne Football Club because he wanted to go back Home to be closer to family in Perth. He also was not up front and honest with his decision about leaving the Melbourne Football Club until the end of the season. Forcing the Melbourne Demons to only deal with Fremantle as his preferred option.

I have even heard from some one-eyed and fanatical Melbourne supporters go as far as to call Luke Jackson a "traitor" for leaving us and going to the Fremantle Dockers.

I personally would not go that far! Luke Jackson contributed far more than Tom "money bags" Scully ever did who left the Demons for GWS around 10 years ago. I had no qualms with booing Tom Scully!

Anyway, I am genuinely interested in hearing fellow Melbourne supporters thoughts and opinions about whether or not they will be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?

[Doug Reemer 1,207]

No

[Dee Zephyr 19,269]

No

[SPC 3,571]

Yes. But only because Roo will take a hanger on him 

[Hawny for Gawny 461]

Not going to the game but if I was I'm not booing, as you said helped us break the drought and also no need to give them anything as to fuel the fire. Also hope the boys don't fall into the trap like the dockers did when they played Lobb. 

 

[Demonstone 23,128]

No.

[chook fowler 19,676]

No, I will just write his name on some paper and put it in the freezer - guaranteed to bring bad luck according to my mother-in-law. She has used that technique successfully on me in the past.

[BDA 22,961]

Depends

If he disrespects us in any way (very much doubt he would) then I'll boo

i might actually cheer him. For instance, if we're well ahead and he scores a goal late on which is of no consequence I'll probably give him a clap.

Edit: Tbh, i don't really care. He's just another oppo player now.

[Deebauched 1,220]

No.

Some will in the dees outer bays next to the Mcc reserve.

Just cover LJ and stop him kicking any goals. That'll do me fine.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,071]

No. I didn't boo Scully in 2012 so I would be a hypocrite if I booed Jackson.

And the louder the boos, the better he'll probably play.

With that being said, and after listening to Alan Richardson on SEN, it genuinely sounded like he deceived the club when he was granted mid season leave.

I'd expect the booing will be somewhere between Peter Walsh (ie nothing) to Tom Scully (extreme) on the Richter scale of booing.

Nope

[3183 Dee 2,910]

I’m not a boo-er, but If it puts him off his game, then yes.

I get that he was part of the Premiership team, but he decided to leave for the $. Had he been edged out like Oskar Baker or Hunty, it would be different. He’s a Freo player now

[bringbackthebiff 658]

Ideally not. However if it’s late in the game and we are losing - probably 

[roy11 3,899]

I won't be booing Jackson as he was part of the flag winning team which made me extremely happy.

So I won't boo him unless he does something on the field to warrant it. But not sure he has the mongrel in him for that. 

There will be Boos though. 

[kev martin 10,501]

No.

Perhaps if he puts his knee's into Gawn as he tries to leap over him.

I enjoy watching ex MFC players go round. Applauded Frosty in his 150, and will applaud the execution of good skills, by any player. I guess that originates from our lean years, and making the most of the entertainment aspects.

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,305]

No

 

[The heart beats true 18,178]

Who?

[John Demonic 5,870]

Have the Chasers ever done a sketch of a footy fan in their jumper walking around the supermarket or shopping mall 'booing' loudly at things he finds disagreeable ? 

[Billy 2,556]

Yep

Then why did you applaud Frosty? 😀

All Jokes, still love Frostball!

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Probably when he takes his first mark. So maybe not. 

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Can we put a poll on this one if poss

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,725]

No, but he better behave himself and have a down day.

Premiership player with the club always love him. That part he played in the late 3 rod quayer in grand final ensures l will always love him.  Hope he has quiet day Saturday. Lol

[dl4e 5,851]

I don't boo players, only umpires. But if I did boo I would boo but I won't be booing because I don't boo.
