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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
