No respect for the kid's!

Who said the Kids were entitled to a Handshake anyway? Its the player's moment not theirs.. For god sake they just won the biggest possible prize Its utterly insulting to the players to expect them to do anything but focus on their victory.

It would have been much more amusing if as they got a medal each player pushed the kid off the edge of the podium into a big pile and got an extra award depending on how far the kid flew. The crowd would have loved it. That will bring the crowds back to footy!

Insulting to players? If that's the biggest insult you ever get in life then you're on a pretty good wicket.

Just watched the replay of this year's final & i've got say how disgusted i was with the medal presentations.I know the player's get caught up with the euphoria & excitement of it all but, at least half of the WCE players didn't even acknowledge or shake hand's with the kiddie's presenting their medals.SHAME on those concerned!!!

this has been done to death sorry , punda has apologised to the kid that gave him a medal and also sent him a jumper i thought it was not a good thing that some did not acknowledge the kids , i think it was cause they were all caught up in the excitement of the day .

when you think of it if you call out hi to a player whether they are training or at the ground on game day they are usually switched on to what they are doing and don't always hear you , they are not ignoring you but they are concentrating so hard on their job or what they have to do next that they don't hear or see anything out side of that which is why you see the trainers some times when they go up to a player tap them to get their attention so they can talk to them . :angel:
