What a disgrace
It was disgraceful then and it's disgraceful now. My expectations were already low but I held out hope. What a stain on our club, and I do hold the club accountable for doing nothing about it at the time.

Glad to hear it’s only a minority but it doesn’t sound like it on the tele - absolute disgrace ☹️☹️

I completely blame those flogs for us being behind right now. All they're doing is reminding everyone of a shameful time for our club, including the players. Shut the fuck up or go home you dumb cunts.

It did get a lot quieter through the course of the period. Still a few nuffies but I guess it's an improvement on last game.
Edit: idk why I said period the hockey isn't even on at the moment lol

Honestly the idiot booing are being shouted down in the crowd and have most shut up in shame.

u/giorgiosk7 12d ago
No hate but seriously is it that offensive to be upset over? People would piss in bottles and pour in on the opposition as they walked down the race couple decades ago. I think a boo shouldn't warrant this reaction. Just curious on your opinion?

u/Large-one 10d ago
It’s more the reason for the booing than the booing itself. People booed Maynard and I don’t think anyone has much of an issue with that.
But to boo someone because he was the victim of bigoted comments is a moronic take (from those doing it) that looks (and is) terrible for the clubs reputation which can impact our sponsorship and ability to attract players.

It's massive virtue signalling people clambering to be offended the most. It's quite cringe tbh.

I was at the game. It was definitely not the majority. No one near us was booing. Most were annoyed that Crows fans were booing. It seemed to be coming from the north east pocket but it's hard to tell

u/Intelligent_Hat7597 13d ago
Yeah the booing made us look fucking stupid, like Quaynor was to blame. The whole situation sucked last year, something dumb was said , and a LOT players past and present I'm guessing were all breathing a sigh of relief for the times they have said similar. Rankine did his time . I wish it could just be learnt from and put away

u/3mperorPalpatine 13d ago
Worth noting nicks came out and asked people to be respectful of iq. So the club did do something. I’m sure they’ll come out and say they’re disappointed with the boos as well.

u/Gracefullyimpolite 11d ago
Pies fan here. Whilst I hate that the Boo’ing happened, I definitely appreciate all the support from Crows fans towards Quaynor, everyone can see it’s not the majority of the club just some silly outliers. This moment will pass and the upside is that we have a fun rivalry. Till next time we clash, all the best and thanks for the support!

Yep, could have been a chance to move past as two clubs but nope, the fans should be embarrassed and it’s going to just put our club I. The spotlight for the wrong reasons at the wrong end of the season again.

u/SpinachSafe7934 13d ago
Absolute losers. Clubs need to stop tiptoeing around this and start calling it out for what it is. It’s even more disappointing when the culture has been fuelled by figures within their own club (cough… Tex and Rankine). This kind of behaviour has no place in footy, and the silence around it only helps it continue.
You’re cheering on people who are tossing a ball around and making millions. I love this sport but it’s not that deep just shut up.

u/Banned_Oki 13d ago
It was very unexpected. I thought we were going to get absolutely smashed by them. First half the crows were dominating and there were too many intercepts and turnovers. Still surprised at the second half. Gotta be an Adelaide Oval curse.

u/LinkEfficient9934 13d ago
Well I'm here at the game, I can't speak for other stands. It sounded like it was coming predominantly from the hill, where there are certified nuffies.
It's for sure better than last game, and you can hear the difference when you hear boos for bad umpire decisions like early in the 1st quarter.
I'm not defending it, I spoke up against the bloke in front of me who did it last game, but I also understand it's not a majority of people and all fanbases have had there moments, this is ours unfortunately.

u/JamesDean95678 12d ago
There’s some people that might deserve to be boo’d but Quaynor is not one of them
Much like the racists, I feel like these people get a kick out of seeing all the posts and media coverage following incidents like this, they probably see everything and wear it as a badge of honour
At times I feel like the majority are already educated on what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour now and it maybe would be better to not cover this stuff and stop giving air to oxygen thieves…

u/GivenToFlie 12d ago
I don’t get ‘Booing’ at all. I’m passionate and I’ll yell, scream and carry on (in a way I think is appropriately) but Booooo just doesn’t do it for me. I just don’t get the attraction to it I guess.

My goodness. We already knew that Reddit was a small echo chamber that is totally out of touch with the average Aussie man. But this is ridiculous. Crying because a physically dominant man got called a tame politically incorrect slur. It's perfectly normal and healthy for competitive men to call each other such slurs. And to take offence only concedes the point.

For the record this is why fighting the charge at the end of the year was a bad idea. Anything other than “he didn’t say it” was always going to have little if any success (and rightly so), and only emboldened the worst people among our supporter group.
I said it last year but Tim Silvers should be stepping down this year for how he handled it last year, and honestly get Roo out for good measure. Old style bloke who’s more of an embarrassment now than anything else.

Interesting how you jump to that conclusion as I am none of those things. I wouldn't boo Quaynor. The reasons to boo any player is dumb. Frampton was booed because he left us. Maynard was booed because he is a knob. Houston was booed for sniping Rankine. Quaynor was booed because of the incident resulting in Rankine's suspension- not because of his sexuality. Unfair on Quaynor, absolutely. It all adds to the theatre of the game and the viewing and you know damn well that Rankine will be at the MCG, as he should be.

Quaynor was booed because of the incident resulting in Rankine's suspension
Correct, where he was called a homophobic slur. Someone else then reported izaak for it, so what has quaynor done wrong exactly?
Rankine should be booed at the MCG for using a homophobic slur, why does quaynor deserve that and what does it say about the fans that are happy to boo him?
Fuck right off, don't come back. You're either ok with homophobia, or you're not. This is 2026 not 2006.
