Agreed. That was so embarrassing. 
Don’t boo if you don’t want, but cheering a player who basically checked out mid year is a joke.

    I gave him one single clap on his first possession.

    Am I fired?

    I didn't like the boos he got early but didn't realise he was clapped. that's a step too far.

    What was the cheering about? It’s not like it was James McDonald returning after being treated like a Stark in kings landing. Jackson got his plaudits and has his own set of cashed up nuffies out west to cheer him on for sitting the right way on the toilet seat. 

    Just ridiculous.

    Honestly it was so putrid. You’d think he’s some hero of the MFC who captained us for a decade and left to go home because his mother was dying, or worse, got unceremoniously dumped against his will. 

    He’s a kid who got lucky and won a flag with us and then ran home at the first chance he got. Cheering him was ludicrous.
    Him laughing after smashing Gawn straight in the back tells you everything you need to know about what sort of guy he is. An grateful, graceless clown.

    Well said, we’re already thought of as the softest fan base in the league, an even greater look clapping a bloke who abandoned our club

    Don’t know why a Melbourne supporter would applaud a bloke that “phoned in sick” for the 2022 finals series (average of 8 possessions and 1 mark).

    Totally offset his reasonable third quarter in the GF.

    There’s no pressing need to boo him, but why applaud the bloke?

    Because our supporter base is far too kind and forgiving.

    Reminds me of certain individuals on here who get up on their high horse (they know who they are) if you critique a players performance or give an honest opinion on footy related matters because their emotional attachment towards the players gets the better of them.

    I don't boo players and most certainly wouldn't have clapped and cheered.

    did our supporter base actually cheer him or did the freo crowd just over power us. so embarrassing that a side that just lost by 100+ to the bottom team on the ladder can still have 10k more fans rock up than us

    I sat next to a few Melbourne supporters who clapped him. It was cringe.

    Our supporters are about as soft as our players.. I hate collingwood fans as much as the next bloke. But geez they generate so much more electricity & energy in a match, which really brings out the teams best.

    Not much more to say, other than he was clearly  Best on Ground Today! Over and out!

    Interesting stance that the posters on here who complain about people complaining on this forum about people complaining as it’s also ‘their right to complain’ - are the ones that complain about the people who engage in their right to clap a former player. 🤷‍♂️

    Jackson took Maxy to the cleaners yesterday at center ball bounces. It was painful to watch.

    People can do whatever the hell they like. And other people can find it embarrassing. 
    You really think clapping him was not ridiculous? 

  • Quote

    Where was the clapping or great ovation? Before the game? During? As he was walking off? I must have missed it.

    On that first possession on the Southern stand flank right in front of me I gave him a single 1-beat clap for his contribution to the premiership and that was it, after that he became a regular opposition player to me.

    Personally I thought I nailed the balance.

    And other people can have a response to how others responding. And you can have a response at their response and so on.. it’s all very meta. I was pointing out the ‘ridiculousness’ of judging people that clap… it certainly doesn’t sound like you’re ok with people being supportive of an ex player… 

    I was there and I clapped him,  I also clapped when he sharked the ball and dobbed the goal at the punt road end that was effectively a sealer. He played well and I like to clap good play irrespective of the team or individual that does it.

    Greats of the game and society have left the game early due to booing, I’d like to think as a society we have evolved, and I get for some people, football is tribal and means a great more deal to them with the intensity of emotions, than it does in my own life.

    Enjoy your Sunday.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
