You cant target someone for their sexuality, race or mental health issues (all of which I agree with btw) but you can hurl as much abuse for someone being overweight just because they are playing football. Its pathetic. Even more pathetic was when challenged about it by an Eagles players parent the bloke went to water and folded like a deck of cards. The type of hero who can spray someone whilst protected by a fence. Disgraceful

If I were you h_t I wouldn't worry about it, and instead point to (a) his record and (b) the scoreboard, which more often than not has the Eagles in front. Winners are grinners. By the way, keep in mind he's only overweight in a match fitness/footy sense. Plenty of properly fat people on the other side of the fence who've achieved a lot less in life than Wundke has.
If I could support a successful side with a Ken Farmer medalist (oh, dare to dream!!) I'd just laugh off the 'abuse'. I can't speak for the big fella (oops!) but I'd be surprised if he gave a stuff because I assume he's in a position to do something about it. I could be wrong, though.
I'll admit I've cracked the pie gag at him in the past/last week, but that's only because I'm jealous (and pathetic ), I know he's a great full forward, and would really like to have him (back) at Prospect.

Old Grenville would be a shoe in at full forward. Never seen so many kilos get so high off the ground. I think we'd stick Craig Balme at full back, he was well padded from memory

Back in the day Dennis Sachse was a big fella (from what I'm told and the pics I've seen), would be up for a spot.
Damien Cupido is a more recent candidate.

Power reserves too good on Sunday, will cause some damage IF they make the finals and IF they play that way and not some of the other rubbish they have been dishing up earlier.
A challenging 2 weeks for the Eags with Crows and Sturt at home.
