TOPIC:

High Horse? Morals?

I dont get it. Cousins was booed, Fletcher was booed, Kerr was booed......everyone with a suspected (or known) drug problem has been booed. But now it creates havoc when Jobe Watson was booed for taking a banned substance.

I didnt condone the booeing, but hey if WCE players have copped it over the years from other clubs, why are they not allowed to give it back? Sort of shows you how biased the AFL is, Cousins was sacked for a year, Watson still playing, when cousins was booed, there was no sympathy from the AFL or Commentators, Watson is booed and commentators make him out to be mr innocent. I am with you shwaborn!!



Shouldnt really expect anything different, just though that people on this forum would have half a brain and see it for what it exactly is.

How ben got bought up into this argument is beyond me, how people can compare getting high and ******* up your life to taking PEDS and cheating the system to win games is strange.

An away crowd will look for any excuse to boo and turn a player into a villain. Chris Lewis used to be booed when west coast played in Melbourne. Maybe because he was good - maybe because he was recognisable.

I admit totally I have stuff all morals in terms with peoples lives. Morals are man made and man is inherently average.
My moral is only in fair ground for competition.

its clear you have two sets of morals, which is my point...people in glass houses.

People in glass houses??? FFS, let me have a quick think, just off the top of my head without googling, Crows, Carlcheat, Colliwobs, Dorks, Hawks, Dees, & Saints aren't without sin either. The others just haven't been caught yet. So if you want to decide who lives in a glass house, put the brain into gear before engaging the mouth (or fingrsin this case!!)

BTW, watching the Swans/Carlcheat game and there's a hell of a lot of booing - I didn't realize there was so many Eagles supporters living over there

That is why I was pleased that the bombers got up and won. His team mates did it for him because of the respect they have (along with the majority of the footy world) for him.
On another note that's it for the eagles, this year is done and dusted along with their coach. Woosha did not make any moves to combat essendon's run, while hird took off bellchambers, and switched Hurley and Carlisle which worked a treat.

Pretty sure you are a Sydney fan, so no doubt you would of watched the game tonight and would of seen the shattered man that is Tim Watson virtually concede that there will be player and club sanctions, and Jobe will probably lose his Brownlow.

This bolded bit is a crock of **** by the way.

Good one Shark there must have been lots of Eagles fans at Kardinia Park tonight as Ballintyne got booed right from his first possession!

PPL like ballentyne get booed at every ground...coincidence??, sydney crowds bo cos they have the same understanding of footy as a LOT (not all) Eagles fans!

Love the way you classify people and put them in little buckets of 'these people' and 'those people' unk.

Suppose I should come clean....I was one of those horrible booers. If Killer Kowalski started to give Mario Milano a hiding, then I'd boo like hell.

Can anyone explain to me why the drug at the centre of the Essendon investigation is legal when taken
in tablet/oral form but illegal when taken via injection???
