Not sure you can be critical of the Collingwood culture - one of the strongest around.
Everyone has different ways of supporting their team.
Melbourne supporters seem to enjoy tearing their players a new one as the walk down the race.
I watched the game live on FTA last night rather than making my way to the MCG - mainly because I had a lot of work to do and took advantage of the hour travelling time each way to the ground.
Kind of regret that now, but this is the way the AFL wants it I guess.
Regardless, it made me feel good to see the ground empty.
I envisage lots of B&W walking out silently with their heads hung in shame, and then many of them crying on their pillows when they got home - works for me

It was great being able to stretch out and watch the last quarter in relative comfort after all the Collingwold supporters around me left!Comment

best game in the R&W for Benny McG? Must be close, all the hunger and intensity we could hope for, looks a real leader when he plays like that.
A fantastic effort from the boys, now they need to keep it up! As good as we were, the Pies were just bloody dreadful - something not quite right there I reckon.Comment

There was a specific 50 introduced a few years back against someone retarding a player who has just passed/handballed....if that player was intending to go forward and receive the ball back...so there you go,....correct call - not just a free. Possibly debatable if the Collingwood player was trying to receieve the ball back."I'll acknowledge there are more talented teams in the competition but I won't acknowledge that there is a better team in the competition" Paul Roos March 2005Comment

The Tiger's supporter that dumped the truckload of manure at the Club. That's a hard one to beat. I think it was during the Frawley coaching years (90's).
Well better stop procrastinating and off to junior footy at 6 am. Damn home games !!! At least I get to listen to the gardening show on 2GB. Good ol Graham Ross.Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

I'd have to disagree, a lot of Swans supporters walked out at 3/4 time at the Hawthorn game. I didn't stay much longer myself, the game was very disappointing to watch. If anything, people should be commended for just going to the football, there are so many competing options out there.
I don't know if you could draw a causal link between culture and how long fans stay behind for a loss. Some could say that those supporters who are extremely and intensively passionate about their club would HAVE to leave because staying and watching a poor effort is so upsetting that they could make things worse for their friends and family around them if they stayed any longer.Comment

The players can't wimp out and go home early.

As for the young girl, and she is really that, a very young girl, she really had no idea. I am fairly sure it still hasn't reached her, she just sounds puzzled. And Adam was right, this is exactly where the buck stops, at the mindless comment.
Does this mean I cannot call the umps maggots anymore? I hope to do as she said she would, think twice, but......I am now mindful that I have probably charged over the line myself.
Think Twice may be a good tag for the whole incident.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Don't waste too many tears mate. People like her always end up doing well out of something like this.This is what worries me about this incident.
The witch hunt begins. I hope the kid survives it.
I feel more sorry for Goodes and the aboriginal people who cop @@@@ like this every day.Comment

As far as the racists comments girl goes, I think that she kind of is enjoying the spotlight.
She seemed very comfortable in front of the cameras and quite defensive of her actions.
I believe that a two tear ban should be put in place for her, and then allowed to attend again after attending some kind of anti racism education.
The point isn't what she said - none of my kids aged 11 to 17 knew how the word she used was offensive until I explained. however they would never act like that at the football of anywhere else.
This girl would have had what she said explained to her, and she still doesn't seem to get it.
Unless there are strict guidelines for kids like this, parents will never 'get it' either and things won't change.

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
