Thread: Should we stoop to the Hawks level and boo a particular player?

    It is only the umpires that will cop the boos from me and even then, only if they get something badly wrong that costs us a goal (for or against) or if they are being inconsistent to the favour of Hawthorn.

    Of course, if a Hawthorn player does something particularly nasty to one of our boys - such as strangling them - I'll get a little more vocal in the negative.

    I liked how the 'Syyyyydney' chant went up after the players held up the cup and Hawk supporters made a piss poor effort to counter with a 'Haaaawthorn' chant.

    All they're good at is crying and complaining.

    Have the utmost respect for Hawthorn as a club and as an organisation however their supporters are horrid.

    Hopefully most Hawks supporters going to the match tomorrow are there to support their team, appreciate the fantastic effort that their guys have made in getting to thir third GF in a row, and to generally enjoy the day. That's what I'd be doing if I was fortunate enough to be there....

    You'd like to think so, but I bet there are plenty that will seek to spite swans fans win, lose or draw.

    Generic booing is uncool but occasionally it's not only good manners but essential to pass on advice and a free character assessment, eg, if you bump into the Collingwood president in a lift.

    Re Hawks supporters - I got back to my hotel room in Melbourne this afternoon to find the room had been serviced and I'd been left two gingerbread men in a cellophane bag. One iced to wear a Swans guernsey and one iced with a Hawthorn guernsey. Both have heads iced with a big smile. But an interesting difference, there are two iced dots for eyes on the Swans man as you would expect. But the Hawthorn man has only one eye. So even the baker knows what Hawthorn supporters are like!

    It must have been a gingerbread man version of Stevic
