Port Adelaide 2019

[whufc]

I can't wait until I see players shake hands after a goal is score. Just taking it one week at a time etc etc.

It would be more original than X copying a NBA players celebration.

[Booney]

I don’t find it different, I’ve grown up primarily with the round ball game where it’s almost a competition in itself, but time and place

When they actually score?

[Booney]

Who decides what's right and wrong?
This is how retarded football has got these days...watching Tex kick an important goal in the 3rd term he double fist pumped and did a jumping high 5 to his teammate. My first thought was "I wonder how that celebration will be received around the media/fans/trolls" rather than think "what a brilliant goal!".
That is f..ked isn't it...

The discussion around his celebration in the Richmond game was when he should, or shouldn't for that matter, do it.

Does it really matter? Let the kid be himself.

I think it does matter and can be seen as reflection on his personal attitude or what he considers important.

Imo a bloke massively celebrating a goal whilst the team is comfortably losing screams an attitude of caring about his personal performance/attention over the teams performance. Whilst caring about personal importance is part of being a great team player I think there is a line where it crosses over and feels and looks like it’s more important than what the team are doing.

If it was soccer and my team were 3-0 down in the second half, we a score a goal and the bloke goes screaming down to the corner flag celebrating madly rather than picking the ball out the net and getting on with a game I would be spewing

Same is in a test match a team needs less than ten runs with 6 wickets in hand, takes a wicket and starts pulling out the aeroplane celebration past the keeper at the other end

I love a good celebration, there should be more of it in the AFL but absolutely there is a time and place.

Welcome to 2019.

"I want more celebration, but on my terms"

You don’t have to like it and I’m sure some people don’t.
Some do, some don’t!

I reckon I've heard 3 or 4 people say they don't like it, completely unsurprising that 2 or 3 of them are on here.

[DOC]

I hate it, because, it means he's kicked a goal.

I love a good goal celebration especially when it makes them look like a goose

[Lightning McQueen]

Just saw a replay of the bow and arrow from Duursma(again).
I like a goal celebration but he just looks stupid.
Needs to put it away and work on it first.

I'm not a fan but it has F*** all to do with me, I'd rarely celebrate getting a wicket so each to their own.

He'll be shattered to know it hasn't met your approval.

He’ll be right I hope.
We can move on now.

The one against Richmond was getting the margin back to 3 goals and was the 2nd goal within minutes to give us some momentum.
Of course he was going to celebrate and try and get some energy into the group.
Tell me the difference between his celebration and someone first pumping and yelling cmon after that?
How come no one has bagged Zak Butters for his goal and celebration against Brisbane when we were 5 goals down?
People wonder why mental health issues exist. The minority of people that didn’t like it the other week quickly got called out on social media & put in their place

This has been discussed a bit among a group of mates recently, particularly in relation to Taylor Walker. The bloke's had some hits and misses for sure as has the the club he leads, but the pounding he's copped across all forms of media (corporate and social) since the 2017 GF - At a time when the football world is trying to address the mental challenges their young men have to contend with - Sends such a poor mixed message.

When discussing this in isolation ( away from the on field and off field parts of football ) it's fairly well impossible to think of a more hypocritical set of circumstances.

Coaches and players are sliced into tiny pieces by the main stream media and then as they step away from the game and piece themselves back together the very people who chopped them up send their best wishes to them.

You can't please everyone
I remember when Aker would do a handstand after every win, then when he went to the Bulldogs the 'leadership group' banned it.
A bit of showmanship never killed anyone! Go for it, young fella.

Zero issue with the celebration, I just hope no one was offended or hurt by his imaginary arrow...
