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.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • POSTGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
