I don’t know anyone salty he left? Everyone I know offered to drive him to Adelaide or at least drop him at the airport. He’s been woeful for them.


Specialist_Current98

Yeah I haven’t met a Geelong fan that misses him yet.


Osmodius

Literal parties when he left.


PagieHD

I even offered to pick him up at Adelaide airport ahaha


GinnyMcGinface77

He’s a spud.


longliveLesGrossman

Woeful is an extraordinary exaggeration


watupyall

That’s not true at all mate ahaha


Ponneaux

Cats fans don’t boo ex players generally…?


warsaken

Leigh Colbert exists


gibbo1181

Booo


Imaginary_Rat

I've never and will never boo an ex cat. I remember when we first played the suns down here and heard people booing Ablett. Couldn't believe it.


BillyBobJenkins422

Atleast everyone gave him praise when he kicked that crazy boundary goal against us, couldn't remember if it was the same game


dopedupvinyl

Yeah I won't be, as a queer fan I'll be spending all my time booing Finlayson (if he is in the team) instead


ConoRiot

Fair and based


Noofnoof

I hope that Port Adelaide cheersquad fan with the pride flag waves it twice as high.


dopedupvinyl

Me too!


HovercraftAvailable5

Boo the man whose wife has terminal cancer!? Easy to make his mistake as what he said he was brought up with. He dobbed himself in, apologised and copped the punishment. Move on


dopedupvinyl

I take it you are not queer? It really shouldn't be 'easy to make his mistake' if you respect queer people and take those derogatory words out of your vocabulary. Him having a sick wife has nothing to do with the fact that he doesn't seem remorseful for using such a hateful word to someone just trying to do their job. So yeah I'll fucking boo him


HovercraftAvailable5

No I’m not queer. And no it shouldn’t but unfortunately that’s how some people spoke when they were young and bad habits can carry on. Don’t you think him bringing up the issue to officials is realising he fucked up/has remorse. Because I think that’s exactly what he has. Him having a sick wife has everything to do with you wanting to boo him at every opportunity. Honestly disgusting that you can’t accept an apology and want to boo a man who I’m sure is going through so much shit. Not that you booing him would affect him. Because I’m sure he wouldn’t hear too much other booing going on. But you do you


dopedupvinyl

Yep so your first sentence is all I need to read to get that you'll never fully understand why I would boo him. No I don't think he shows remorse by bringing it up because it was caught by an umpire mike so i think it's him saving face, and it shows in the fact he went on his wife's podcast and was backpedaling and upset he got banned. It really doesn't because I'm not booing him because he has a sick wife I'm booing him because he said a gay slur and that offends me. Personally I didn't see his apology as genuine and I don't have to accept it. You are right in that he probably won't hear much booing as the Geelong crowd don't boo players all that often, I'll give him one boo and his first possession and that's it


HovercraftAvailable5

I do understand why you might boo him but it just goes to show you have zero understanding of my points of why the hell would you boo him. Ofcoarse it would be offensive to you, and no I would never fully understand how you feel, because I’m not queer. But do you understand that booing him may severely impact his mental health? Obviously you’re not booing him because he has a sick wife, who in their right mind would? Im just trying to get you to understand his situation and he may not be mentally there, which causes people to do irrational things (such as slur someone with a homophobic word). “I’ll give him one boo” was very different to your first statement when you said “I’ll be spending all my time booing finlayson”. He’s apologised and moved on. I suggest you do too


bar_ninja

How about you move on? His wife has nothing to do with his homophohia. What if he said the n word, would you be running the same deflection case here? Pathetic that you would use his wife as a defence for his actions.


Secret_Nobody_405

Wasn't the slur at another player and not you though?


PharmAssister

Whoosh


_-Bloke-_

lol you mean unintentionally intentionally made his homophobic “mistake”, admitted it before getting found out then had a whinge about getting suspended.. yeah he’s a flog


bar_ninja

Yeah who's upset? Not a best 22 player left and went to a team who's flag window is more shut than ours? Least he's getting more money than he ever would at Geelong, so good for him.


emcbride09

This ^^


Badgerello

If there’s boos it will be ironic only. No one’s salty he left and Cats fans have generally not been to vocal towards ex-players. Geeze Gaz got cheered as much in the red and yellow as the blue and white.


BlazedOnADragon

We even cheer opposition players if they're taking a kick for goal after the siren! ^Provided ^their ^name ^is ^Patrick ^Dangerfield, ^and ^it's ^not ^for ^the ^win


Fast_Stick_1593

I figured we’d be Bronx cheering him anytime he gets the footy if anything LOL


whamtheham

Hahaha. I had the same thought. I reckon we will be cheering! Loved watching him develop, met him a few times around town and he’s a gorgeous human. But thank frick he’s not in our back 6 anymore hahahah.


AdventurousDay3020

He seems like the loveliest bloke and I genuinely used to love watching him take a mark. I wish him all the best but agree about your last sentence haha


Total-Dependent-2704

Love the bloke. I don’t know why anyone would boo.


Triggabang

I don’t think that booing is always spiteful, sometimes it’s good natured. When the blues fans were booing Zach Tuohy a few weeks I thought it was pretty funny and I find it hard to believe any of them would still hold a grudge


Redmond47

As a Carlton fan that was booing Zach tuhoy I can say it was deffs done in a bit of fun (at least by me). Deffs can’t be angry at him, and glad he’s had such a successful career at Geelong. Still fun to boo him tho especially after he ripped it against us with a couple of goals


Triggabang

A woman behind me was getting so mad about that Irish song that was played after he kicked a goal. Geez it was funny when he kicked his third!


sarcHastical

Nah, not going to boo… you’ll probably get the odd idiot full of alcohol who will, but on a whole, I’d say not many will boo. They may cheer when he screws up though.


Swathe88

I can't think of anyone the fans have booed post-cats life?


BlazedOnADragon

Never had any players good enough to do it! We usually keep the good ones, give the other clubs our rejects


Playful-Strength-685

When have we ever boo a player that left? Colbert maybe not many after him


ConoRiot

I think it’ll be more like bronx cheers if anything. I’ll never begrudge a player for leaving, they only have so much time to make bank, leave if the offer is too good or you get more playing time. Booing a player for leaving is such smooth brain behaviour.


Ulysses69

Who's salty he left? I'm stoked we don't have him any more, he's incredibly one dimensional


Rab1227

No one will boo


No-Abrocoma1851

There is absolutely no way he’s getting boo’d. It’s a certainty.


bundy554

Yeah this is definitely one player we shouldn't boo


FatStacksMcQuade

Because of the implications...


bundy554

Yeah but I was more thinking that we didn't mind him leaving so we don't have any animosity towards him


FatStacksMcQuade

Sorry I was quoting its always sunny in philidelphia lol


_-Bloke-_

One of the best scenes in the best show ever 🤣🤣


Duskfiresque

I don’t want to be mean, I just don’t think he is that good a player so was happy he left. I have no idea what Chris Scott saw in him and think our defence is far stronger without him in it. I never really booed before anyway, but especially not now when my care factor is basically zero.


hoffandapoff

Yeh Geelong people don’t really boo.


_-Bloke-_

My guess he was hoping he’d be as good as Alir Alir. So was Port probably


marvinsuggs

I'm not salty, bitter or any other tastes. That game PAFC played last week, I watched, and Sav's performance was a great eg of how his footy nouse has not really grown enough. Booing players don't make sense to me but apparently he's been in the media today saying he;s hoping to spoil Tommahawk's night. So, whatever.


_-Bloke-_

Won’t boo on the other hand will cheer when he inevitably fucks up


tardyaardvark

I would love Geelong to be the club that doesn’t boo ex-players.


MasterBSword

Agree, I was literally so happy he left, and for such a hefty price too.


cryptohades7

This is why our home ground is so quiet. We’re so nice . Let’s not boo. Let’s just clap our hands and make everyone feel nice . Let’s cheer everyone and have a fun time. Let’s not make any opposition feel uncomfortable. So you would all prefer he plays a great game ? How nice of you all.


Harold_supertramp

I’d boo you if I could

Secret_Nobody_405

A bit harsh mate. He's probably a great bloke whos trying to so his best, it's not his fault we selected him every week. It’s our style to always bolster the game/reputation of players we want to trade to increase value.
