    Although I just saw a video of Nazi's in Melbourne on the weekend so I have nfi anymore. One of the most abhorrent things I've seen in my time in this great city.

    It's a great point you raise. I get that booing has been done for many years but it's a simplistic view that doesn't acknowledge the potential harm and the group type bullying component. Years back Gia's bump on Kosi was praised as why this game was special. Now it would get 8 weeks plus. As we learn more about concussion and MH challenges some of the behaviours and actions of the past might need to be adjusted.
    We were all caring and supportive when Baz Smith came forward with his challenges so I don't quite get why now that Hunter is no longer a player for us we should single him out and think it's okay.

    You keep coming up with harming someone with bumping and trying to compare that to booing? Big difference.

    I don't boo, and don't care if others do.

    There is no evidence that booing effects mental health. (Goodes aside as that was racial)

    Like you I don't boo and I don't really care if others do it but the point I'm trying to make to you is that Hunter has noted MH issues and I think your no harm done comment glosses over that.

    Re: Behind Lachie Hunter’s exit from the Western Bulldogs

    I was surprised our fans booed him.

    I'm not a huge booer. I guess I'd boo Toby Greene, Sicily, these kinds of pests, particularly if they've done something grubby that match. Apart from that, I'm more about cheering our boys on. I'm sure they hear me from my back deck in Brissie. I threw some colourful language out to the universe on Saturday night - that's for sure.

    Didn't boo Hunter, did boo Pickett, considering booing Dunkley but think I'll feel bad.

    I think the only one I booed was Griff and I must say I felt so dirty so I didn’t keep it up. I think I’ll be saying boo under my breath but not out loud with Dunkley. It depends on how they left us whether I feel ill tempered with them.

    You win a flag with us and a best and fairest and we know about the heartaches Lachie endured over the last 2 years. It seemed to be over the top response to boo him but it wont change any time soon. Its not like he is the Iron Sheik.

    Moronic. Both were moved on. How dare they continue their career elsewhere.
    I heard Baker being booed? Why? He was delisted?

    I lost my voice in his first game back. I won't get a chance to boo Dunks as it's a Thursday night, doubt I would anyway. I was more relieved his travelling circus left in the end.
