Just won the game, at a critical time, after copping it all game from the fans, against the arch rivals. They are free to celebrate and give a tiny bit back.

In every single rivalry the similar banter and interaction between the players and fans occurs. Feel free to hate them, but every clubs players do it.

yet cornes and tredrea are the devil... but eddie is the next coming of jesus!

Nah. Over the top and that spud with his hand to his ear should try to concentrate on cementing his spot as an AFL player rather than acting like a big headed tool.

Happy to hear examples of the other times of incitement. As I said if they players are going to cop what they were subjected to throughout the game they are allowed to give a little bit back. Happens all the time in sport. Just as it's happened numerous times when the positions have been switched.

Betts and co are fine celebrating goals and it's fine having a chat to the sideline when you are rolling like he was but the moron who threw the banana regardless if it was meant to be as a racist thing or not is a complete w***er. It's pretty easy, have your fun, barrack, yell, get involved but simply just don't throw or try and harm players and if it were me she'd have got 5 years straight away for throwing something and if she wanted her membership back at all an apology to Betts. With the racist stuff if it is actually the intention then it's a completely different level of ****.
 
Look at you all so triggered by a bunch of players celebrating with the sole intention of making you upset. They were acting like flogs but it's time to ThatSongFromFrozen.mp3.

No, they're free to it.

It's the constant preaching from the ivory tower at the (non-fruit themed) reactions they extracted, from the very players who did it, buttressed by their legion of moral exceptionalism marinated kool-aid sippers that rankles.

Such a cheap, 'stacks-on' go, which would go up in a nuclear fireball if the shoe were on the other foot.
 
Betts can do a naked cartwheel whilst flipping the bird and thumbing his nose all at once for all I care. He's an amazing player that won the game for them including an incredible sealing goal.

Atkins? Sit down you utter pelican. What has he done other than ride on some much better players coat tails? A sort-of-serviceable back pocket with a great haircut is the pinnacle of his career at the moment. Do something first you dick.
 
Tredrea bowed once. Then nearly 10 years later he was asked about it on Open Mike.

Dont you dare criticise Eddie though. Dwayne reckons it's impossible not to like him.

lol, this is a good point actually. Tredrea does a celebration to the crowd just once in his career, gets caramelised.
Now it's just common place.

After the chasm that some people were prepared to put between us and the cows then a loss which came about because of a few bad choices and an unhealthy respect for Eddie Betts seems a lot less than we thought. The trouble was players were otherwise worrying about him and not where the ball was, when he kicked the first goal it could have been rushed through, when he kicked it across for Jenkins to mark in the square our defender was on his back worrying where Eddie was and he was able to scoot off with the ball and put it on top of Pittard's head.
The other thing that cost us, which didn't seem like it would make much difference before the game started, was that Logan Austin was out. So our backline was woefully undersized.
 
I didn't behave very well on Saturday night but the company I kept (raman and RussellEbertHandball ) most certainly led me astray.

I was pleased with the effort put in by the players and our crowd, which seemed to appreciate it, were great. Was my first home game of the year and I'd forgotten how loud Adelaide Oval is.

Picked up the Sunday rag at the airport on the way home Sunday.

Don't miss that pile of shit one bit.
I thought nosehair was causing all the problems. ;)
 
This is getting out of hand, as far as I'm concerned the club has put the matter to rest, she did the wrong thing but has been punished enough already. The media are like a dog with a bone.

It's not only this, but the thousands that pass judgement on this I'd imagine don't crack the odd inappropriate funny themselves? Everyone is so perfect with their behaviour these days. It's difficult to articulate in the correct manner as I don't want to be branded as a sympathizer of racism, however let the which hunt finish. Imagine if the person gets terminated from her job (if she can), friends judge her.
 
. With the racist stuff if it is actually the intention then it's a completely different level of ****.
Regarding intention I've thought from the start that having a banana there ready to go was pretty interesting. Cue 22 people telling me they take bananas to games.
 
Chad loved inciting crows fans, Chad would also have relished copping it back from them, not sooked about it.

This is the key point. If you want to be a shrinking violet who can't handle a bit of lip over the fence, go right ahead. If you want to be a trolling campaigner who deliberately incites the opposition crowd, go right ahead. But don't be both.

If Chad Wingard had kicked that goal in that situation at a Crows home Showdown I would've fully supported him dropping his daks and brown-eyeing the flogs behind him. But if he then turned around and had a whinge about copping some (non-racist) abuse in response, I'd call him a sook.

You're thinking of Luke Brown. Which sort of proves your point about how irrelevant Atkins is.

You won't find one on a fishing boat though
