The reason Coniglio's venomous dissent is still newsworthy is that most commentators and at least 75% of football supporters hate it when we win.
Yep
As if we're going to hear anything other than ...'GWS wuz robbed" from opposition supporters.
It's hard to know how we would have felt had the shoe was on the other foot.
Right now, a couple of days later, I'm thinking some of us would probably have been angry with the player, but that's not in the emotion of the moment.
At the time it may very well have been anger at the umpire.
What I do know is that if a Carlton player is pinged for dissent in the next game he won't get much sympathy.
They're all on notice.
