Plenty of players from South were willing to talk, He played a fantastic game yesterday, Easily Port's best. Every disposal counted and most hurt. All he did was respond. What if he came around the other side of the wire? I suspect the smell of poo would have been in the air.
I am not keen on players coping abuse when all they have done is play. Win graciously.
AS I recall, the toughest people at any game of football always seemed to be on the other side of the fence. I am no saint having allowed the occasion to confuse capabilities with ambition. Sometimes the gob runneth over.
I may have called out “no AFL in the SANFL” but I didn’t hear any actual abuse, although it was loud for South supporters.
I wasn’t going to say anything, I never abuse players, I agree with you there Doc and yes, they could beat the crap out of me pretty easily so there’s that. But when those two port players turned around and started at some South fans that’s when I decided to call out. Yep, sometimes the occasion gets the better of us.
