I think Raphael Clarke was considered worse
Yeah, I heard a lot of the crap directed to him at the footy including some racist slurs from one individual.
i still regret not reporting him.
But hey, this forum has always needed a whipping boy or two.
Seriously? If you genuinely heard that it has to be reported. Cannot understand any reason it would not have been.
He's not an X factor, or a player that makes our midfield better. Better to ply his trade elsewhere, it's apparent he does not wish to wear our colours or play under Ross.
Stuff like that always bothers some more than others.
In Gresh, the issue now IMO is the perception that he’s on the way out. Supporters tend to have loyalty to those that bleed for the jumper. Even the maligned like Ross have always had a healthy degree of support despite the criticism.
Once the writing is on the wall that a player wants out however… all bets are off.
Remember Dunstan!? Very maligned but had a huge backing in his last season until it was apparent that he was grumpy and would walk out. Then the excuses from the super fans to hate him came on…
Remember the BS of some free kick against Geelong or whatever was the final, unforgivable straw that broke the camel’s back… it would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.
Now for Gresh… every mistake is scrutinized and unfortunately for him, his lack of composure and tendency to attempt the miracle play is really irking the majority. It’s always been there, but doesn’t feel like it’s for the pride of the jumper or a push for finals anymore
