Some Lions fans said the boy's reaction mirrored how they felt watching their team lose.
'Mate I think we all felt the same last night. But we will come back,' one said.
'Geez you've got some tough critics there,' another wrote.
Louis is one of his father's biggest fans and loves to watch from the sidelines.
He was over the moon when the AFL season finally restarted in June after coronavirus forced the season to a halt.
'He's excited that footy is back,' Zorko told the Courier Mail.
'When he found out that we were playing Fremantle, he went through all the footy cards to find the Dockers players and did all the match-ups.'
