Just voted and it confirmed what I knew: that the vast majority of us wont. Unlike other clubs                  ( particulaparticularly crows, power, eagles and lions), we are above such neanderthal tactics.

Disclaimer.  Umpires not included.

My wife reckons I am part Neanderthal so it is all strangely beginning to make sense.

My justification is that we are going to the football and not to the opera.  There is a difference. (I like your disclaimer) GO DEES!

    Expecting Jeremy Howe type boos.

    Nothing over the top but still enough to hear through the TV.

    Agree that the Baker booing was embarrassing. The guy was (probably justifiably) way down the pecking order and we delisted him accordingly. Then the Dogs kept his AFL dream alive.

    Listening Steven May on LJ yesterday, he said that Dogga rocked up to a off-season planning meeting after he had been traded was told blunty that he wasnt supposed be attending that meeting. 

    The guy is genuinely from another planet. i dont think booing will phase him one bit.

    He's a premiership Demon for life.  What he ends up being at Freo is of no interest. 

    Maybe a cashed up Perth property owner who played a bit for Freo. Who knows?

    Will never be booed by me.

    Just a kid.  Needs a break.  His Manager seems to have the foot of the peddle life-lessons wise I suspect

    Yea good point. Not like that gang has being overflowing with members the last half century either. He gets a pass.

    Besides as KDF pointed out, it's more other clubs way of doing things.

    Complete waste of time and breath plus it's childish, it's a business now, and it is easy to see why players leave when they can make money for their future life away from football, lets be honest how many people on this forum would knock back the money he is making now for the sake of loyalty for the club.

    Not unless he does something dirty.

    Does wearing a Freo jumper qualify as something dirty?

    I'm halfway listening to Gus and Gawny's interview with Jeff Farmer, who is idolised by almost all Demon supporters yet he made the same move to Freo in 2002 for similar sorts of reasons as Dogga.  It's unfathomable that Dee supporters would boo Jeff and, for related reasons, I think that it would be a shame if Dee supporters boo Dogga.

    I'm no angel (maybe that's why I'm a Demon 😀) and I'll confess to premeditated booing of Shane Woewodin when he played for Collingwood from 2003 (even though he was nudged out of Melbourne, who actually paid part of his package at Collingwood).  It didn't make me feel any better at the time; I'm actually rather ashamed of it now that I look back on it.  I can't recall booing any ex-Melbourne players since.

    That's my view - each to their own.

    Sad to say he was indeed booed in his return game at the MCG.

    It was obvious that he was hurt by this.

    Some interesting opinions by all.

    The voting shows a resounding NO to booing Luke Jackson too. Which I respect and acknowledge.

    My apologies for the somewhat mischievous post. But I was legitimate with my curiosity!

    I guess I will reserve my booing for Mason Cox (who I despise after he basically kicked/kneed poor Max Gawn in the guts last year) when we play Collingwood on King's Birthday for the Big Freeze 9 Fight MND match.

    I would only booooo IF he did something on the ground that would warrant such a reaction to any other player.  
    Otherwise I have moved on as has he. 
    The reflex boooooing from Port and WCE in particular to any opposition possession or football action is just pathetic.   Even brilliant goals or marks gets them going. 🤮🤮🤮

    I’m pretty sure Farmer got booed the 4 times he played us at the G. He was not all popular with the faithful with his decision to leave.

    One game he kicked 7 against us in a win over us.

    Reckon there might be some soft ironic boo's early on, but don't expect it to go all afternoon.

    He helped us win a flag. If I was 21 and offered a huge salary, I'd take it.

    Don't forget we have 2 first rounders coming our way.

    Different circumstance to $cully.

    I'm sure this has been said, but would be far classier to thank him (which we never got to do) for his part in what I assume is one of the best things all of us have ever experienced? If I was there Id be applauding him to counter the boos. Better to demonstrate to all our players (past, present and future) that once a Demon, always a Demon.

    The people who choose to book him are probbaly the same poeple that booed Oskar Baker in r1.

    I won't be booing unless he does osmehting to one of our players. 

    It's not like he has come out and bagged our club

    After he left we got a pretty good replacemnt in Grundy. So it's worked out pretty well. 

    He also provided the best 10 minutes of entertainment in that GF and I will always be grateful for that.

    Anyway I hope to hear no booing, then it means he hasn't got the footy. 

    I couldn't understand the booing for Oskar, he wasn't getting any time for us and we didn't need or want him. I hope he played well this season (Not against us) seems like a good guy.

    Booing is embarrassing under any circumstances, but it's the worst kind of theatrics after he played a key role in the flag and left without serious angst. I'm not happy about him leaving but not enough to get excited about it like when Scully snuck out the side door of a flaming wreck in the dead of night.

    The highlight of the Scully return was mass-abuse being hurled at him, then James McDonald getting a round of applause for his first touch.

    That was totally classless but I'd say retaliation for Dogs fans booing Hunter first rather than any issue with Baker.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
