Would have been nice for the boys to do a lap of honour, even after the speeches, for the group of fans who were waiting for it. Only Sharpe and Cross bothered to come over to the far side of the field. Really disappointed as it would have been great to say farewell to the ones who are leaving.

Thought it was pretty poor form on the crowd's behalf. Yes he's leaving but ffs so are 9 other players and not one person booed any of them. Oh well he took on the chin and legged it to the celebrations like the others.
Shasta: it was pretty crowded in there, supposedly "over the limit" and they couldn't let more people in "because the floor is old and might collapse"...need anymore reason than that to move away from Subi? I think not!! It was kind of funny though, the 'bouncers' were more like turnstiles.
Also someone told him the next he came to Perth he would be leaving the field on a stretcher...fair chance that, on top of the booing, would put a bit of a dampner on your evening.
People booed him! ... What a pack of Troglodytes... that’s a real shame current and future players will look poorly on that supporter behaviour... He wont be recommending the Force to any future players...
To be honest I don't I dont think any of it bothers him now, he's leaving, why should he care what a bunch of small-minded indiviuals had to say. Just shows that some people aren't big enough or mature enough to deal with the professionalism of sport and the fact that players move on.
It wont affect his perception of all the support he has received in the past and he is not bitter or petty enough to not be recommending the Force to any future players.
Gits was booed quite strongly in 2007 for the game in Canberra v Brumbies from what I can remember of the game.
People booed Drew?! Why I aughta... *shakes fist threateningly*
That's actually really horrible. He is leaving but that's his call and it's professional sport. I'd like to think if I, Drew's biggest fan, can accept he's leaving without booing him that everyone else could find it within themselves to not be cruel.
Was that when we waited after the game? Someone standing near us? God that's horrible!Also someone told him the next he came to Perth he would be leaving the field on a stretcher...fair chance that, on top of the booing, would put a bit of a dampner on your evening.

A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

Booing? I suspected it might've been Highlander-fan nonsense, but coming from so-called Force supporters? What's wrong with some people?
I hope Drew and Gits know that most people certainly don't think that way, and that we're looking forward to seeing them next year at MES getting flogged
