Taboo or Not To Boo?  

Much talk about whether to boo Chris Judd tonight. I am really surprised at the amount of angst amongst fellow Eagle supporters about whether they should boo or not.

These guys are cattle. You could be the most loyal player of a club but if they choose to trade you or dump you, they do so. How many loyal servants of the club would we have dumped if that was what it took to get hold of Chris Judd in the first place?

There will be booing and it will be good natured booing at worst. I won't boo. I won't cheer or clap him either, but I won't boo him. He is an extraordinary person and player, and I carry no grudge that he left us - only disappointment. We should remember that had he not re-signed with us, we could have lost him two years earlier.

Oh you might as well boo cause you'll have nothing to cheer about.

DO you think there'll be much booing when Cousins runs onto Subiaco Oval, wearing a Collingwood jumper?

I raised this very same subject last night right after the game. Reflecting on the state of mind of the players and his part in the decline, I commented that if I ever saw him play again, I would be booing loud and hard. He has been an enormously destructive factor.

there have been plenty of other destructive factors in the club but it is only him who was stupid enough and arrogant enough to get caught red handed.
