    Looks like it's just you.

    Personally I think it would look kinda silly making them walk off the field backwards so they don't have their backs to the fans, but what would I know...

    I can't think of any team playing us who lost who have gone and thanked their fans for turning up. the celebrations are for the victors, not the losers. Especially at finals time. When you have a big bloke like Jesse in tears, .... I mean, they are human - not super human. No, I wouldn't want them to come over and clap me. Its like I would be celebrating them losing the game. ick.

    Sorry mate, that's the footy way! To the winners the spoils. The losers - get off! Even when it's your team.

    One exception in recent years was the last SCG game in 2009. The Lions won, but were gracious enough to stand aside for Micky O, Leo and Crouchy to do their final lap of honour. That was a special occasion, though.

    I thought Saints were tossers for staying on the field after we beat them last weekend, so no, absolutely not. You lose, you leave.
