Universal Love Hey Eddie, surprise

[tribey]

That is pretty much how my conversation with my dad went.... Dumb fu** he is...

The mental block that people have regarding referring to it as ‘a Magpies guernsey, and you’re the Power in the AFL, so you can’t wear it’.

It’s a Port Adelaide guernsey.

If Gillon had any stones McGuire would've been excommunicated by the AFL long ago.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Not the best source but Tom Browne just said the AFL cleared Port for wearing the jumper last night.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It is pretty funny how activated Eddie is.

 

[finbarr]

If Gillon has a brain in his head he'll make this his line in the sand moment with McGuire.

 

[Eighteen Seventy]

It is pretty funny how activated Eddie is.

He's barely even coherent. He tries to memorise too many debunked points that he forgets his trail of thought.

It's just sad at this point.

McChins was caught off guard I reckon, he could barely string his sentences together.

Playing with fire - lol. Tried to say we get 5m more than all other clubs, then stopped himself and said more than Collingwood.

Does he realise our “reserves” wear that jumper and even if they banned it at AFL level, supporters will just buy the Magpies version?

What a cockbrain.

Steve Barrett and The Age is now reporting:

'The AFL said on Sunday it had no issue with Port wearing the traditional jumper for post-game celebrations.'

‘He has this nasty streak’: Port president Koch hits back at McGuire in jumper feud

After former Collingwood president Eddie McGuire said Port’s David Koch was “sticking his nose into AFL territory” over ‘guernsey gate’, Koch has returned fire.

So Eddie has it wrong yet again.

And given he no longer has any role in the Collingwood Football Club he is, as always, speaking just for himself.

High profile Collingwood member (and former ABC presenter and Chief of Staff to Bob Hawke) has placed McGuire back in his box as well:

Yay! it’s out of Collingwoods hands now, now the AFL can make decisions without Collingwood getting involved right Eddie?

 

[chiwigi]

Eddie coming up with 3 straw men in one statement.
What a lying piece of s**t!

Everything gets passed by the AFL, it would surprise me if this wasn't.
I reckon Gill is over the issue and Fat Eddie.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Eddie talks as if the prison bar guernsey is something we dreamt up 5 minutes ago.

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if Koch had cleared it with the AFL before we wore it.

 

[chachi11]

If Gillon has a brain in his head he'll make this his line in the sand moment with McGuire.

Same as the new President at Collingwood, he should disassociate with Ed and tell him he left his club as a rabble.

 

[PowerLil]

Eddie is a bully that resorts to personal attacks and idle threats. A saltier retort I haven't seen. So proud of the club and supporters last night when a huge roar went up when the boys were on the big screen. Port Adelaide. Always was, always will be.

 

[El_Scorcho]

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we advised the AFL of our intentions and they okayed it.

Remember, they only need to give Collingwood the appearance of control over the matter for political reasons. Collingwood have no power here. Collingwood have never genuinely approved the guernsey (except maybe in 2007 when they were doing it in the hope we'd sign away the rights). They just get told by the AFL to suck it up occasionally and are allowed to save face with their supporters by appearing to be in control.

"There were fans in the crowd last night wearing the jumper ermahgerd!!!!"

He's losing the plot. Lets keep doing it and send him into the nuthouse.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Tim Watson added his name to the list of people who just don't get it.

I'd be a bit embarrassed to sing the song in a different guernsey to the one I just played in.

 

[Janey]

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if Koch had cleared it with the AFL before we wore it.

I'd be surprised if they didn't. They are apparently still in discussions with the AFL and have been very diplomatic with their comments, they aren't going to ruin any goodwill that they currently have.

I like it when they quote Graham Cornes views as a source.

His half-baked conflation of happenstance and historical concepts is like a greatest hits of 5AA callers.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I've never been one for wearing footy guernseys to games but for the two finals last year and the home games this season myself and the males in the group I attend games with have all been wearing our 150th anniversary Prison Bars guernseys. The finals last year it was because we didn't get to wear them to the Showdown when the players wore them. This season it has been a as a big FU to Eddie and his puppet Gill.

The number of PBs in the crowd has certainly increased this year.

Fans wear it, it becomes synonymous with the club, the idea that it should be banned becomes more ridiculous over time.

 

[finbarr]

Mcguire has been seriously undermining Gillon's authority for years now. If i was in Gill's shoes i'd be taking every available opportunity to put him back in his box by going against his wishes.

 

[Steve Dore]

It is pretty funny how activated Eddie is.

I like him calling Koch big nose. Channelling Trump again.
