I loved Goodes's goal celebration.
A guy that's proud of his native Australian heritage and culture and not afraid to show it is pretty cool.
The hostility to him is weird, IMO.
The contention was simply the commentators claiming it was aimed at the opposition fans; Goodes claims otherwise but they were kicking to that end, that quarter and it was his first goal of the game, so everyone really should drop it.
Apparently now Goodes is saying he was stirring the opposition fans... well that was a douche move
I went up to Sydney for the game and arrived home this afternoon.
I was pleased with the effort and not disappointed.
On the Goodes "incident". I was sitting in the opposition bay to which he directed his war dance at.
He had been booed and jeered a bit during the game.
He was intimidating towards a group of Carlton supporters which consisted of many woman and children. I am sorry but him to say it was a war dance and it was meant to be intimidating towards us because it was a battle it pathetic.
We were a group of Carlton supporters and it was directed at us for a reason, not the excuse he has come up with.
He is a flog and he is jeered because of the way he plays for frees and his sookiness.
So he justifies it as being part of his heritage.
Having someone run towards me as if was going to throw something is not on, just goes to show he doesnt get it.
I am sick of the special treatment he receives. The AFL fines players for sticking up fingers, crossing the wrists and using shooting actions yet are too scared to say anything about this. To compare it to the harka is a joke as that is something done towards your opponent before a game.
I intend to contact the AFL and Sydney about but dont expect to get any response. I dont accept his apology when he was sorry if he offended those Carlton supporters, he doesnt mean it.
Another point I will bring up is the pathetic SCG scoreboard. At quarter time the stats went up and it showed the most possessions for Carlton were Heppell and Hurley. At half time our leading possessions winners were Hurley and Fletcher. What a joke.
