Straight Sets Simon

But you were being critical of Hawthorn supporters who "started it", but also acknowledge it was "worthy". As I mentioned, the following week there was the incident with the girl in the crowd which made all the booing one big messy drama which has been handled poorly by all involved.

Then why are Hawthorn fans "flogs" for booing him when you said he was "worthy" of being booed at the time?

Correct, that was when he slid feet first into Gibson which had the potential to cause great injury. Then the following week there was the incident with the girl in the crowd at the Collingwood game.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you irony.

Clearly they've just photoshopped his head on to that sweater.

I think he would have retired anyway.

If it wasn't for Goodes in that 2010 game we would have won by 20 goals, one of the most consistently excellent careers over such a long time I've ever seen.

We'd be a far better team if more players gave their all like he did.

They were horrible, North slightly less horrible.

No one is talking about the "Bloods culture" tonight.

Heeney will be a star, but just thinking was vandenBerg eligible to win the AFLPA best first year player?

Agreed. My pet hate is all the coaching by umpires, just pay the free kicks if they are there, don't coach players into preventing them.

Woeful game of football.

Nice dive by Goodes.

No chance.

It's nice to know that Barry Prendergast still takes an interest in Melbourne.

I take it back, he's a fraction of the player he was at Adelaide.

Melbourne would be three goals up against either team.

Tippett is worse.

McGlynn ducks more than Selwood.

Hopefully the AFL now realise that they don't need "light and dark" jumpers meaning that red is a suitable alternative.

I love Kent.

No.

Because what they lack can't be taught.

We all have our favourite players, but you're just weird about Dunn.
