The irony isn’t lost on me.

The Horne Francis booing in 2023 originated from a round 2 game between Collingwood and Port at the G and then spiralled out of control by Gather Round a few weeks later.

As @Ghostwriter put it last night, Crows supporters were booing Quanor for speaking up and getting Rankine in hot water as opposed to anything more sinister. Whether the booing was in poor taste is up to one’s personal judgment.

But the thing is quanor didn't report it. Officials heard the players talking about it after the game. Maybe adelaide supporters should be more angry with the way their team crumbled.

I cannot believe I'm defending Collingwood. On this issue I am but yes, the irony of McCrae & their fans complaining about booing when there fans are feral. I mean they have history. Horne-francis, goodes and even Dom sheed

 

It’s just football.

We boo Maynard still, some say he deserves it, and some don’t.

A lot of players get booed for right and wrong reasons as well.

I’m all for it, adds to the atmosphere.

They booed Quaynor, and he got the last laugh. That’s why I like it.

We boo Maynard because he physically assaulted and ended the career of a much loved player who still suffers the physical consequences of that injury

Booing IQ is the equivalent of Pies booing Gus for getting injured

I’m not sure how you can compare the two


Does this mean dees fans are in trouble from mccrae for booing sniper maynard?

But crows fans still boo Jake Lever also. Maybe it's true that Adelaide residents have an inferiority complex?

Spot on. It's all theatre after all. Silly but part of crowds behaviour.

I'll bet you the Christians got booed at the Colleseum

 

Additionally i am really looking forward to the mental gymnastics the AFL does this week to justify not suspending Jordan De Goey for an action that's been suspended consistently every other time it's happened.

Na, sorry, the booing of Quanor was disgusting. He at no point has done anything wrong. He is the victim of a homophobic slur.

He is not Houston or Maynard, who deserve a good booing for various reasons.

OMG apples and bloody oranges.

I had no idea what people here were insinuating until I read more.

I hate Collingwood as much as the next person but there is NOTHING in common with this and our booing of Maynard or really any other situation where a player has been booed.

You can't force fans to act or not act a certain way but I don't think it was necessary.

We boo for our reasons, they boo for theirs. End of the day. It’s the same.

no mate. booing a player for being the victim of a homophobic slur is pretty cooked and needs to be called out and called out strongly.

This is why West Coast supporters furiously applauded Gaff after he went full 1970s sniper and obliterated Andrew Brayshaw's face. Because for some people reason and fairness don't come into it: everything the red team do is wrong, even if it's being a completely innocent victim of abysmal behaviour, and everything the blue team do is right, even if it's doing something universally accepted to be thuggery or bigotry.

I don’t agree with the booing.

I’m happy Collingwood won so he could have the last laugh.

But at the end of the day, good luck stopping people.

Yes and our reasons make sense, and their reasons point to them being backwards inbred losers.

Nobody is saying that there's anything you can do to stop them. Doesn't mean that booing a victim is not a disgusting thing to do.

I hate Collingwood as much as the next person, but neither Quaynor nor Collingwood do anything wrong in this instance.

Really not sure that Collingwood are the supporter group deserving to be called out over their behaviour last night.

Agreed. Unsure of why people are getting upset.

All I am saying I like the atmosphere it creates.

I don’t agree with their reasons to boo, their player is the one who stepped over the line.

To be clear I am not against booing. I totally support Crows fans booing Houston for example.

I just can't stand booing for the sake of booing, or worse booing for the wrong reasons. Like the hate Goodes received was appalling to me. And last night booing the victim of a homophobic slur by their own player was putrid. BTW he wasn't the one who reported it, officials overheard the players talk about it post game. So why the booing?

Adelaide didn't even do the right thing and self report, so screw them (except Nibbler!).


Both their fan bases are pond scum.

It's pretty easy to work out when it crosses the line. Crows fans booing Lever? Absolutely fine, part of the sport. He left them and it got messy.

Last night they were booing a guy because he was the target of a homophobic slur from one of their own players who got suspended for it. There's just no other way to read it. It was a disgrace.

I'm never happy when Collingwood win..

Weirdly probably the first time in my life I was barracking for Collingwood. Adelaide absolutely deserved that last night. After how their supporters carried on with the whole Rankine fiasco, and how cocky they have been all year, they were due for a belting. Loved seeing.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
