The perth crowd tonight were an absolute disgrace to boo Jobe Watson every time he touched the footy. There was no need for it, and it shows 90% of them know nothing about the game. That is why I was pleased that the bombers got up and won. His team mates did it for him because of the respect they have (along with the majority of the footy world) for him.
On another note that’s it for the eagles, this year is done and dusted along with their coach. Woosha did not make any moves to combat essendon’s run, while hird took off bellchambers, and switched Hurley and Carlisle which worked a treat.
I thought komma played well! I hated him when he played against us for EP.
I’m no Westcoast fan but I can’t blame them the incompetence of the AFL has caused this, the silence is deafening considering what Jobe admitted to OTC.
As Mick Malthouse said the AFL has shown no leadership, if this admission happened in cycling or athletics Watson would be stood down immediately.
Carnwest you can be sure that Jobe is going to cop this at every game from now on, as far as i’m concerned he admitted to injecting AOD a banned substance in other words he is a cheat.
I wonder how Ben Cousins must be feeling he was suspended for a year and didn’t even have a positive result, Darcy,BT and Richo must be the AFL’s mouth piece having a crack at the crowd for Booing, fairdinkum.
After tonight it must be said West Coast supporters (well most of them) are ‘A’ class fuck wits!!!
Agree with you Lucifer…Kommer was very good especially in the last when they needed a spark up forward.
Why is that Rock??? Watson has admitted injecting himself with a substance banned by Wada and the AFL falls under that organisation.

Cyclist Christophe Bassons wrote a number of articles for a French newspaper during the 1999 Tour de France which made references to doping in the peloton. Armstrong continually denied using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. So Bassons knew but the Union Cycliste Internationale did not?
I think the crowd booed becuase the free kick count was “only” 30% in thier favour last night :lol: Margetts should NEVER umpire Eagles matches. Disgrace. As for booing Jobe, what did you REALLY expect ? Heck they boo injured players when they leave the ground.
I’m not a huge AFL fan, but I watch most night games, last night confirmed why I don’t go too or enjoy AFL games at Subi, the local fans are a joke, they boo watson yet they are the same numpties that cheered the biggest druggie Cousins when he ran on the ground. what a bunch of hypocritcal losers.
Didnt take you long did it!
Were you at the 92 GF??..i was,booing Langdon when presented with his Premiership medallion sportsmanlike do you think???
Not to mention the crap that Sumich copped that day whenever he went near the ball.
Crowd booing Judd getting Glendining medal…fair???
The Melbourne media has started this frenzy along with Watson’s admission.
They are the ones calling for him to stand down,they are the ones calling him to be stripped of his brownlow if thats not red rag to a bull i dont know what is.
Stop making out its only Eagles supporters because its not,hell Murray Couper was booed coming off the ground at Basso one saturday arvo problem was he was on a stretcher at the time.
Toughen up Bazza you support a mob that used to spit on an opposition coach and throw billiard balls at him.
Selective memories some of you lot!!
Its nothing to do with toughing up, that is just a stupid cop out, booing umpires et al is part of the game, its the reason behnd the booing and hypocritcal myopic nature of Eagles fans thats at question here.
The people with the selective memories here are clearly eagles fans who embarrased themselves with their stupid hypocritcal take on drug use.
Mate i’m no eagles fan, but why are Eagles fans hypocritical Cousins was suspended for a year for bringing the game into disrepute without even testing positive to anything, and here we have a guy who actually admitted to injecting a banned substance, the AFL has made a rod for its own back for being silent on this issue if you think Jobe wont be heckled in Melbourne or any other state for that matter you are delusional.

Cheering a known drug user and then booing a suspected one..clearly hypocritical..not to mention WCE’s long litany of other drug related issues including Kerr, Fletcher Chick et al…come on!
Only a fool wouldn’t know the difference between recreational drugs and performance enhancing. Bazza you are a fool. Watson deserves to be booed, dragged through the mud and any other non violent action. Jobe is being booed because he has an unfair advantage over every other player in the competition. I cannot believe this the example we set for our children, take drugs win medals and the people against that behaviour will be criticised…
Everyone is laying the red carpet around Watson like he is the victim..
Jobe sure is looking great though, very trim.

Hello I don’t know where you’ve been the past week he admitted it on national tv and WADA have come out and stated several times ignorance is no excuse, like I said the AFL and Demetrio are piss weak.
Well said Peter.
What was it Jobe said “I’ve never had so many injections”
And the AFL allow him to play.
Of all the clubs to take the moral high ground on drugs, the eagles are the least well equiped, their antecedants in that respect are terrible,
The poor boy finished the game in tears…care factor of zero…cry us a river? seems he did…
That said, don’t agree with the booing though…
Moral high ground…
Bazza its about cheating, Cousins never cheated.
I hate people who cheat in a game of snap.
I have never cheated in anything, it is of the lowest form.

Peter, Watson may have admitted he was injected with a banned substance,it is problematical if he knew or not,but he hasn’t returned a positive test either.
Don’t try and tell me that the illegal drug Benny and co were on wasn’t or isn’t performance enhancing.Ask the nurses and aids at the emergency sections of hospital about what it is like every weekend.
The booing was totally expected as this is the same mob that bood one of their supposed favourite sons,Chris Judd.Also remember they booed Trent Croad!!! when he played against them when Croad returned to the Hawks.That is the way their minds work.
The substance that Watson has admitted to taking is banned but what Cuzzy and co took is illegal.
I don’t think Watson should be playing but the AFL have sat on their hands,due I think to the fact that the Fat man opened his mouth earlier and has been told to shut it.Maybe not by ASADA or the WADA,but by the CCC,who have a big interest in this issue.
