Time for a new line of merchandise?
What about something simple on a T-shirt lime "F#CK THE CROWS". I could get a heap if use out of it between 12 games at Adelaide Oval and 2 at Prospect.

They didnt want non south Australians wearing the state guernsey at the launch, they would have known that would have added more heat on the debate

So instead they stick a Port Adelaide Mapgies guy in it for their launch :roll:

LMFAO .. Err Rob, where do you think the public perception emanated from? Arrogant club, with arrogant spokespeople and arrogant board members .. Reap what you sew you pieces of shit!!


Perhaps we're all in need of more "education" Rob? ;)

The fact the club was trying to make $$ off the idea indicates their intent.

That's all this was about at Scott Thompson was a very strategic choice

Who chose the crows colours anyhow? Was it deliberate that the crows colours were also the state colours?

How's the Crows karma bus coming along this year? Pretty good from where I'm seated, jumper fiasco and Van Berlo make them, once again, the laughing stock of SA footy.

Let's just hope they lose every game and FIGJAM Sanderson gets the ar*e.

Mocking the Power is like kicking a kitten, too easy and no fun.

Rattling 5 cents in a tin and watching them scramble for it is way more entertaining.

They wore an ugly guernsey. That is one difference.

But I agree, the sentiment is the same.

Agree both wrong and the Eagles have not tried to do that since.

but

A couple of minor differences .... it was a 70's round... this was best Eagles could come up with.

and that jumper hasn't been used as the WA one for decades. The WA state jumper has the black swan on the front.


It would be like the Crows using the SA vertical stripe one we had for a while (with the large white panel)

People keep saying there was none of this furore when the Eagles did it in 07, but there actually was.
