I know people might think I am being provocative with this. But I am very curious to know? Will Melbourne supporters be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG? Is it even appropriate to boo at all? We are supposed to be better than Collingwood and Essendon supporters and their vile antics. I have heard some say no that they won't do that. While I have also heard others say yes, that they will boo Luke Jackson. I myself am currently undecided if I will boo Luke Jackson. I am quite torn on the matter. On the one side, Luke Jackson is a Premiership hero who helped turn momentum in our favour to help the Melbourne Demons end their 57 year Premiership drought. Something that ALL Melbourne supporters would be grateful of. However, on the other side you could say he showed disloyalty by leaving the Melbourne Football Club because he wanted to go back Home to be closer to family in Perth. He also was not up front and honest with his decision about leaving the Melbourne Football Club until the end of the season. Forcing the Melbourne Demons to only deal with Fremantle as his preferred option. I have even heard from some one-eyed and fanatical Melbourne supporters go as far as to call Luke Jackson a "traitor" for leaving us and going to the Fremantle Dockers. I personally would not go that far! Luke Jackson contributed far more than Tom "money bags" Scully ever did who left the Demons for GWS around 10 years ago. I had no qualms with booing Tom Scully! Anyway, I am genuinely interested in hearing fellow Melbourne supporters thoughts and opinions about whether or not they will be booing Luke Jackson on Saturday at the MCG?
