This really is the beginning of the end for the AFL.

They have been shooting themselves in the foot year after year for a decade.

To label fans who boo a player as racist without a right of reply and to try to script the game and the atmosphere to within an inch of its life has been turning fans off for years.

Seriously considering not renewing after this year, and it's nothing to do with Collingwood who I have loved since being a boy.

I agree. It's not just the AFL, its the media too playing to do-gooders. Booing a player doesn't make you a racist and the assumption it does it completely wrong, unfair and even to some point slanderoous.

Right, wrong or otherwise, Goodes need to get backbone, move on and perhaps look at Patrick Ryder's interview after last Saturday nights game when asked about booing he got. He certainly didn't play the race card.

Ah yes, Goodes needs to be a good boy and behave himself. The others can boo him as they please....

I get it........

[Dave The Man]

So I guess we won’t see you again on here then

[Carro]

Will always love this club but the game. Those running it and the media are completely cooked

[Carro]

A little bit of leaving the game alone wouldn't hurt, stop all the pc crap, when Adam retires he will get preselection for the greens/ labour radical left so he is doing his political apprenticeship at the moment,

There are some real tools involved in footy nowadays running the game changing rules at the drop of a hat and lecturing the masses about how to barrack it's enough to drive fans away for sure

[Carro]

Unfortunately Goodes has spent all the good will he had in the bank, very devisive, born here just like you and i, we are all Aussies and he has done well for himself in this great country, just splitting the country in half and name calling anyone who doesn't agree with you is very dangerous, hope he retires

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

I don't think they've banned it, if you wanna boo just boo. What's stopping you?

[Carro]

Being called racist and assaulted

I'm starting to feel like this is the rebirth of the Cheka from Soviet Russia. Nobody will dare boo anymore after this. Trust me. But don't be surprised if the Cheka make fans too afraid to attend games anymore because if you boo, with their amazing ability to read minds like a telepath, will know why you booed and that it had to be racially motivated.

We don't need a gesture of solidarity for our indigenous players and I even find that insulting, belittling and degrading to them. It's a paternalistic approach. It's nothing more than tokenism and I like to think that week in, week out all of us footy fans line up to celebrate all of our great indigenous players whom we love. They add so many exciting elements to our game that I'd doubt if the highlights reel for the past twenty years in particular would be anywhere near as exciting without their involvement in our game. The fans love and appreciate them just like any of our other players. We see them all as one and we celebrate them all the time, not just during indigenous round or for the inaugural Adam Goodes appreciation round, but all the time!

I think Goodes has been a champion of our game and I take nothing away from him and I don't like to be a cynic but knowing that his career is coming to an end, it seems like interesting timing that he's walking away from the game and he wants the public to think this is the reason why, not the fact that he's almost out to stud.
