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.

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.

    SISTER ACT by Meggs

    In the twilight at Frankston Oval, for the first ever match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, the Demons were clinical winning by 59 points and remain undefeated in Season Eight.   The Melbourne team ran out to a wonderful #DeeArmy banner paying tribute to Ron Barassi, ‘a football legend, the greatest Demon’.     So true!   Meggs was super excited to see Irish recruit Aimee Mackin playing her first game.  Aimee quickly showed us that she belongs out there with composure, ga

    ON SONG by Meggs

    Meggs asks is it time to heave ho the melodies and words of yesteryear and update Club theme songs with some Australian composers and singers?     What prompted this reflection was the discovery that this week’s combatants’ themes were written by the same early 20th century American composer, George M. Cohan.     Cohan’s melodies The Yankee Doodle Boy and You’re a Grand Old Flag have been used by Hawthorn since 1956 and Melbourne since 1912.   Even earlier, the clu

    RUN UNBEATEN by Meggs

    The Demons withstood a spirited challenge from the Western Bulldogs in the 10th anniversary of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup to run away with it in the last quarter and take their unbeaten run to 12 wins on the trot, an AFLW record.   The Doggies were tenacious and their losing score of 6.5.41 was the highest score against Melbourne since their last loss against Brisbane in Round 4 on 18 September 2022.   With the sad passing of AFL football legend Ronald Dale Barassi, champion player

    LEARNINGS OR BURNINGS by GOTO

    Well, the 2023 season is over for the Demons after a two point loss to the Blues in the First Semi Final. All season WE have been hearing about the “learnings” that the team needed to make after each loss, but how much have we actually learnt when they:   1. Lost four successive finals at our own home ground;   2. Fell in five of their last six losses despite having more shots at goal and in the sixth, they had an equal number of shots;   3. Lost seven games by under two

    LOST DOGS by Meggs

    The Western Bulldogs and the Demons have history. Prior to the creation of the AFLW league, the AFL ran four years of exhibition matches featuring our two teams between 2013 and 2016. The winner holds the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, in honour of two women who were founders of the national women’s football competition. After 13 games the Demons hold nine wins, four losses record and currently hold the Cup after trouncing the Dogs last year by 64 points. The exhibition games were a precursor t
