Shaking the hands of children

Hunter said after the game one of the reason he was fired up against MOL in the qualifying final was the fact he walked up to MOL before the bounce, went to shake his hand to wish him luck and MOL snubbed him.

Oh, poor baby! What's his excuse for being a rat in every other game he's played?

Are you living in Perth? If so, that probably explains it coz from what we've heard, West Coasters have a sheltered little life with a very one-eyed media over there.

Toughen up dude!! Cop some critisism on the chin!

Hey i'm more then willing to cop criticism if it's founded and fair, but to single out the team when previous year's teams antics were just as bad seem a little unfair don't you think?

Put it this way if the media had jumped on the Swans case after they did similar last year, and port had been just as bad the year before, would'nt you get a little bit narky?

No swearing on air from the Swans last year. Not nearly as awful as the West Coast Apes.

Ah....

Leo Barry: It's @@@@@@ing great

But comparing the behaviour in the medal presentations clearly puts us ahead. They are cocky buggers.

There was a booze bus outside the ground early Saturday Morning. I wondered if it was there for Benny. No wonder he never stopped running.

That was inspiration for kicking that goal in the first quarter when he dodged Craig Bolton!

he just pictured Bolton was a booze bus and the rest is history!

Only Daniel Kerr has a legitimate excuse for not shaking the kids hands (his short arms)

[NMWBloods]

The players had probably all shaken Daniel Kerr's hand already thinking he was one of the kids...

yep leo swore but it was hard to distinguish - i had to listen very carefully to hear it! wirrpanda has said he will make it up to the kid by sending a signed jumper or having dinner with his family or whatever it takes - good on him but why is he the only one making it up to the kids just because they are both indigenous?

Who were ours last year? IIRC it was:

Kennelly - Wanted to Jig
Fosdike
Kirk - pushed him aside to get to the mic.

You beat me to it Jeffers, I was going to mention Kirk's push on the kid to get to the mic. It was discussed on here last year. Poor form IMO.
We can hardly point fingers when our players have done something similar.
Perhaps the GF week should include some receiving medal etiquette training for the players.
