Barrassi was not booed by dees fans the other evening so it must pass eventually

Judd booing has died down when Carlton play at Subi, still little patches but much quieter than it was in 2008 onwards. Not bothered if it's petty or not, if you've injured or decked an Eagles player in recent seasons you're getting booed. If you're a ******, you're getting booed. Simple as that.
He didn't play at Docklands for the first 3 years after he left, but whatever. 'Pathetic' it is.The Ryan Griffin thing I get.it was to be expected. Fair enough. If it's still happening in three or four years then it will be petty.
But the booing of Callan Ward - for the first time in 4 years since he left? That was more than a bit petty and bordering on the pathetic. They didn't boo him for the first three years after he left. Why boo him now? Even the Scully boos have died off a lot now that time has passed.
Don't get why you'd boo Burgoyne. Great player, more than did his job.Burgoyne still gets boo'd and has been at the Hawks for 6 years also helped give Port there first AFL Flag.
Doesn't worry me because it seems to make him play better.
It was just the example on the weekend that drew it back to my attention. Not the booing so much as the extent of it.
The Doggies are in a pretty good place now I would've thought. I just think there's a bigger picture that no longer includes Griffen.
More about the broader question though.
Not sure if you remember the circumstances in which Wallet (sorry, Wallace) left the club but they weren't the best. The feeling was that he abandoned the club when the going got a bit tough and he left us in a bit of a hole. Judas (aka Brown) left us to play finals at Richmond. That didn't work out too well for him but again, it was also the way he went about it. When a player walks away from a club, it's always hard to take at first but as supporters, we soon move on. Of course, if your captain and best player decided to leave in the same way Griffin did, you would politely applaud him when you next played his new team...dogs fans still boo nathan brown in the commentary box... wallace too!
small club syndrome..

haha this is true...I thought everyone booed him
i find booing of players a bit childish really... sure give them shit or take the piss when they stuff up but boo?? reminds me of booing a baddie in the WWF.Not sure if you remember the circumstances in which Wallet (sorry, Wallace) left the club but they weren't the best.

When the player had been moved on from your team, through no fault of their own, you don't boo- that's when it becomes petty. For example you didn't hear the dogs fans booing Daniel Cross last weekend and you never will.
Comparable to the boos Stanton cops?Wait until you hear the Boo's Ryder cops when he's here later in the year, The media will be up in arms at how much he cops it lol.
Question to West Coast fans, when Judd retires will he be remembered as a hero of the club in the same vein that Matera, Jackovich, Mckenna, Kemp, Cox and the other premiership guns of the club are?Judd booing has died down when Carlton play at Subi, still little patches but much quieter than it was in 2008 onwards.

He will for me, think that's a fairly even split amongst fans though.Question to West Coast fans, when Judd retires will he be remembered as a hero of the club in the same vein that Matera, Jackovich, Mckenna, Kemp, Cox and the other premiership guns of the club are?

Time for some to move on already.
Chaplin however.....

The chicken dance?I think griffin should take a stance and perform a dance
War cry, chicken dance, whatever worksThe chicken dance?
Yeah, he should have stayed somewhere where he was hating life for the sake of those lovely supporters.Dogs fans have every right to rip shreds off Griffen he walked out in a very low point for them which is pathetic from not only a club leader but their captain for ****sake.
Yeah, I was taking the urine a little bitI think this, unintentionally, sums up a lot of it.
Players get booed until a new 'villain' comes along, however justified, (or more usually, not), it might be.
