WEST Coast fans have been criticised for booing Brownlow Medalist Jobe Watson during the Eagles' loss at Patersons Stadium
The Bombers captain was loudly booed by the parochial West Australian crowd throughout the match as he played his first game since his public admission to taking a potentially banned drug.
Ironically, he was instrumental in the dying minutes and helped Essendon win by seven points. Watson was in tears after the match.
Essendon coach James Hird said he was disappointed by the treatment of Watson by West Coast fans.Former Richmond champion Matthew Richardson labelled the Eagles crowd "a disgrace" and ex-Western Bulldogs ruckman Luke Darcy said he was "staggered" by the treatment Watson copped and questioned whether it was in the spirit of the game.
The game: How the Dons stunned the Eagles
"With all these boos, makes you realise how good Jobe Watson is and how often he touches the footy!!" Adelaide Crows player Sam Jacobs posted on Twitter during the match.
Comedian Peter Helliar posted: "Anyone booing Jobe Watson tonight is very, very average indeed".
"Jobe Watson with a mark on the goal line and converts as boos ring out" 6PR radio posted during the game.
Other users said it showed West Coast fans were "officially the ugliest in the game".
Last year, Geelong coach Chris Scott labelled West Coast supporters as the worst in the AFL, declaring he would never want to take his kids to a match at Patersons Stadium.
Scott was left aghast at some of the abuse directed at Tom Hawkins and the Cats' medical staff while the Geelong forward was being stretchered from the ground during a Friday night game.
