“@BigFootyEagles: .@AFL_PKeane Hi Patrick, is the AFL going to make statement on #clashgate?” Guess thats a no then? #dontminduswerejustfans

Gave up on the polite approach.

Ok own up, who is this wearing the rancid navy?

Still looks better then two of our three current jumpers tbh

 

[happy_eagle]

What do people expect Gary to do in this situation realistically ?

 

[JordanWCE]

Hopefully the lardies in the cheer squad have written a message about this on the banner.

The only hashtag campaign I would expect them to put on the banner is #returntheHJs

So my missus 5 year old just threw down because he hates the tripanel. We now have to buy him a wings guernsey at the game

I never liked HJ'S on our jumpers. It may be as iconic as Geelong and Ford or Adelaide and Toyota. But it never looked right to me. Bankwest looks better. Would be even greater if that didn't have such a long logo. Same with SGIO, what's up with that massive box that cuts the wings tails?

 

[wing it]

Which team is which, I can't tell???

 

[MIKE85]

You know what?? I don't even care about the wings anymore, none of the current players even deserve to wear our glorious wings guernsey, they should all be condemned to wear the clash for all eternity, until they show some actual f**king heart and determination. The wings are for the proud, the greats of our club, not these pretenders we currently have running around calling themselves kings of the big game.

I am inclined to agree with you at this point.

Never give up, Mike. We're fighting for the future, not just the present. Long after the current players have left the club, I want to be supporting the wings.

And... what is with Karl Langton?? He says the jumper you wear doesn't matter and can't understand why people are upset about it. FLOG!! It doesn't surprise me that he say he is a North Melbourne supporter... Maybe some of the current players are the same.

So forget the playing group. It takes a pure West Coast supporter to appreciate and protect the honour and traditions of our club.

Langdon is an egg. I don't understand why he wouldn't get behind it.

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah heard him the other night say that he didn't care what the players wore, and they wouldn't either?? So when he played he had no pride in the jumper? Maybe if we taught some of the current players to feel proud to pull on the club colours they might actually play with a bit of passion and spirit. Langdon is a f**k stick of the highest order, he bags the eagles almost more than that fat pig hardie.

Let's get other past players on Twitter involved!

 

[InTheWings]

I would like to hear Glen Jakovich's thoughts...

 

[MIKE85]

Yeah I reckon a few of the less bitter past players would agree with us. Someone like fat head baritch would probably be on board.

 

[Impunity!]

I would like to hear Glen Jakovich's thoughts...

He certainly taught me a few things about Colli timber and hardware.

 

[QS]

Ok own up, who is this wearing the rancid navy?

Is a guy off facebook page

A good idea worth trying. Can someone on Twitter send the link to this thread to them? Don Pyke would be a reasonable start. From memory he was involved in getting the wings reinstated back in 2002.

At least it's wings.

I think Jacko's keen. Just checked his Twitter someones tweeting him!

A few follow-up tweets might be in order (for those with a twitter account)

I'm considering buying spray cans and painting wings everywhere tonight. Any ex-taggers want to help me? I have never used a can in my life.

DONE! i havent used a spray can since 1999 whilst poping ollies on my skateboard and listening to a limp bizkit album on my discman!

would be an honour
