AFL Rd 13 2023 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Essendon

[madbluboy]

Dont we to sound like a smart ass or be disrespectful but they sounded like Carlton Supporters and didn't sound like they fitted in the MCC demographic.

A lot of neutrals/casual fans go to night games in the MCC to get on the piss. I went to a Stkilda Melbourne game in the MCC about 15 years ago with a whole heap of work mates and one guy brought a mate who was a Tiger fan and a flog. He spent the whole night just ripping Melbourne to get on the nerves of most of the fans around there.  Then he ripped the team after they came off the ground, the dude just wanted trouble.

Believe it or not we do have more than our fairshare of knucklehead morons

I dont approve of it, but I had a bit of a think about what we've done since 2012, and this season feels very much like 2012 again.

Fans have put up with a lot since then. 

I've processed my recent feelings, and whilst we like to say the sanctions etc have caused our current woes, I'm most angry at the fact that currently we are largely self inflicted with decisions made over the last 10 years landing us here and given our track record, more likely to self inflict further and prolong our issues and subsequent plight.

The players look like they're just going and fans are going to take out their frustration on them.  Ive been waiting weeks for an on field response and haven't seen what im after yet.

The booing as players exit the ground is disgraceful. As adults we should have the capacity to manage strong emotions, particularly in public.

I just saw footage on 7 news. It showed a group of blokes fighting. The report was about "Carlton fans turning on each other" Evidently the fight was at the end of the game and is being investigated by Police.

Seriously.
I'm embarrassed to be a supporter atm?

I know mate but I'll guess with 99% surety they we Blues fans. I'd guess if they were neutrals, they would have got more of a reaction from the players and the official walking with the players. Also, I'd imagine if they were neutrals, it will come out somewhere. In any case, abhorrent behaviour from footy fans.

This club has heartbroken us pretty badly this year.
Don't care what supporters do  it's their right to voice their discontent in any manner they wish.
They went to the game and their hearts broken into pieces... they will support the club no matter what but what is the club doing for them?
What they need to do is refund money to members that have attended games this year.

You do realise it’s a game a sport a recreation a pastime to say that the club owes you a refund is ridiculous.
Don’t buy a ticket if you don’t want to lose because every match is 50/50

Yes, I'm not sure a membership or a game ticket buys you the right to be abusive. Don't buy a ticket, don't buy a membership, and go and support another team. Redefining game day and the game pitch as a place of work is a legitimate and necessary step IMO. Try carrying on like that at any other place of work and see how far you get.

Sorry, but saying something along the lines of "F#@% you Jack, your a disgrace to your family" is OK by you?

McKay admitted players "definitely" hear and take in the abuse coming their way.

"I understand it's a minority of supporters; a lot of our fans have been fantastic throughout this whole year and the passion and energy they bring to games," McKay, who will play his 100th game this weekend, said on Tuesday.

"I think the minority in situations like that it's more disappointing for kids and families.

"You want to create an environment that's safe; everyone likes to come to the footy so seeing the minority probably do that is disappointing.

"We want to create games at Carlton that everyone feels comfortable and safe coming to so I want to thank the majority for doing that, but it's disappointing that a few jeopardise that."
