Will you boo Grundy?

Will you be one of those who will boo Grundy on Friday? I’m unsure in that my beef with him was that he held a gun to the club’s head and was adamant that if he didn’t get a million dollars a season, he would return home to Adelaide. He said this many times. However we all know that he went to a club hundreds of kilometres less distance from Adelaide. So was it just bullshit on a stick to force Collingwood to pay up? I reckon it was and that to me is worth a boo, something I do extremely rarely to a non umpire at a game.

No, I have no interest in booing him. He served us well, but like everything it eventually ends.
I'd rather support and cheer for our players rather than worry about an opposition player.

Most influemtial ruckman I ever saw in a Collingwood jumper. He propped up a hopeless coach for years and almost carried a very ordinary team to a premiership with help from virtually no-one except Pendles and Sidey. Nothing to boo, at all.
Hope we thrash his team, though - just like I hope Collingwood thrashes every opponent. I also hope he doesn't expose our second-rate ruck the way he just exposed Melbourne's second-rate ruck.

So, for those that did boo, did it make you feel any better as his team reamed us?

Yes I booed him for the reasons mentioned above and no, it didn’t make me feel any better, only more frustrated and disappointed.

I wouldn't have booed if I was there but I was quietly satisfied that Cox and Cameron totally beat Grundy.
