Isaac Quaynor booing: Craig McRae describes Adelaide fans’ actions as ‘disappointing’
Isaac Quaynor says he heard the boos from Adelaide fans but refused to pay attention to them amid disappointing scenes at Adelaide Oval in the AFL finals opener.
Quaynor was booed by significant sections of the pro-Crows crowd during every one of his 16 touches, having spent time playing on Rankine amid the Adelaide star’s homophobic slur when the two sides clashed at the venue last month.
The Magpies defender said he largely blocked out the noise as Collingwood scored an upset 24-point victory.

“I’m really proud of him and Dan (Houston) and others.
