Is that true - didn't join in the anthem? If so, the jerk should be stripped of the award he should never have got because he is not an Australian at heart. The idiot needs to understand that what it is, is what it is and join in to keep us as(dare I say) one nation.

I think it's still open. Freo were far from convincing against a weakened team today. WCE look the goods, but can't afford any more injuries/suspensions. It would seem that Sydney Billionaires may struggle to win their next game (sorry Bazza, but that's how I see it). If the Tigers win tomorrow, they'll have their tails up and could be dangerous. Adelaide could cause pain, but will need to be better than today. And as for the Hawks - they are Hawthorn, so never write them off.

Having said that this racial thing has been blown out of proportion massively, where is the uproar over 42k booing Cyril at one stage last night? And they also have massive chips on their shoulders

A mate of a mate of a mate who's an Eagles supporter told me.......yada yada yada

Yes. Pretty good coming from a Hawthorn and Swan Districts supporter!

So sd is a Hawks fan is he? That explains his bitterness against anything WCE. I would have thought he would be a Collingwood fan - for 2 obvious reasons.

Look up and down the line at any final and you would struggle to see more than a third who sing the anthem. Stupid comment, try not to be too obvious with your bigotry

I take your point about looking down the line to see who sings and who doesn't - good point and noted. I think singing the anthem should be compulsory. But why am I a bigot? Because I disagree with your point of view? Because I'm saying what arguably most people think and won't say for fear of people such as yourself dragging out the old R card? Seems like it could be a bit of tunnel vision here. There's gotta be some sort of card I can drag out when someone disagrees with me!

Not singing the anthem....thats a hilarious comment, hardly any of them do.

Yeh my WCE mate cringed when the wave went up. But on the Collingwood thing having been to Melb to watch a number of times they don't carry on like that, its almost a hick town mentality over here - particularly with WCE fans..and another thing is they get a free hometown ride with the umpires too, I don't think Freo get that luxury. Don't right off the Hawks, Freo or even a Richmond in full flight for the flag is my message to deluded Eagles fans. If I were to believe what I have been hearing all morning then they might as well engrave the cup now Yes they were impressive last night but a lot of that was due to the Hawks being inept in disposal and basic skills at times

Well both are in prelims here , one good thing is the local final gets some air next weekend , but after that the Wafl gf will go head to head with two local prelims , forget it crowd wise.

Fair enough 58Shark you have a right to your opinion. However I still think its a bit rich to beat one player over the head for not singing the anthem because you don't like him, when most of his fellow players don't do it either. I think the anthem is overdone in finals anyway and should only should be played on Grand Final day.

Look I don't boo for what its worth but don't the media love jumping on the band wagon , the only booing I heard towards Goodes was when he was lining up for a shot on goal which was the same for every Swan player, I might have to watch the replay because some people think that he was booed every time he went near the footy.
