People do not actually boo Bruce Reville. What may sound like boos are actually fans chanting his name "Bruuuuucccceeee!" loudly and enthusiastically, especially at Brisbane Lions games, creating the effect of loud crowd noise that can be mistaken for booing. This chant is a form of positive affirmation and support rather than hostile booing. The confusion sometimes arises from the similarity of the sound to a boo, but it is a fan celebration of Reville's play rather than criticism or dislike.
