I saw all of that and I have to tell you I was going for the bird. All that awaited him on landing was more jail time in Whiteman Park.
He had a really good look around and had several chats to dockers supporters. Studiously avoided the eagle camp.
On another matter was I the only spectator a little taken aback that the eagles players flooded onto the oval at three quarter time in the girl's match, for a little kick to kick?
It seemed that the message was that this oval really belongs to the men, you lot are just having fun, it is nearly time for the real football and could you hurry up and finish this game. It didn't seem to occur to the thoughtless lot that the women's match was for four points and theirs was a scratchie.
They were still strolling off as the ball was ready for bouncing for the start of the last quarter.
Anyhow I thought it showed little awareness of how difficult it is for women to feel like they belong in male dominated professional sport.
