unless there is some mass uprising by the membership.

That would be an ugly sight.

I thought you meant metaphorically ugly, never nice seeing someone have to be kicked out and was going to comment its probably needed...and then it clicked

Eddie vows to stick around for the remainder of the year and drive reforms that address the culture he oversaw for a generation. What a tone deaf clown.

Feel better now petal?

A wonderfully successful AFL administrator. The mere fact that you wee flowers know so much about the great man is testimony to him keeping footy in the news and noticed better than anybody else. AFL owes a lot of publicity and exposure to good ol Ed from..., (what's that poor suburb he always boasts about growingup in?)Broadmeadows?

Did what every club president should do. Made big bank, expanded the club internationally, (any of your own dog shit clubs known in America? Endorsed by Pat McCafee?), grew membership, rigged the draw every year and was self effacing and admirably modest throughout.
No one can name any other club president currently in office. He'd bolster your club and bring the money in for sure😉

I'd have a beer with Eddie if invited and so would you namsy wekas all caught up in your "I don't like him so he's bad" pout, and if you didn't take up the opportunity to talk sport with someone in the know then you might as well weld your toilet seat down . Puffs.

Nah, Eddie is like Warnie or perhaps Kearns or Fitzy. Basically fucksticks untill they're being fucksticks for your team. Eddie was a net positive for the Collingwood football club.

And get fucked Mariner you did not know I'd be a pies fluffybunny

Sam Newman defending him, another flog who I’d be happy never to hear from again

There’s no doubt Eddie has had a net positive effect on Collingwood and in turn the AFL. There’s genuine passion for the team and to take what was an absolute basket case of a club (off-field) and turn it around is a remarkable feat.

The thing that often comes up in these situations is that there is a baying for blood and apologies aren’t enough. Resignation or else. What gets me is that under Eddie’s tenure the amount of community outreach has been pretty phenomenal. So in today’s world that has no bearing in the eyes of those wanting his resignation. I know it’s not some ledger that you balance up ‘good’ versus ‘bad’ because there are some mistakes/actions that have a point of no return. My view on this one is that Eddie’s success and publicity is the reason he was compelled to resign. He handled the release of the report poorly, but I didn’t hear him make excuses for racist behaviour or justify it.

I hate Collingwood and haven’t been a fan of McGuire’s. Given my team only has one flag and that is against Collingwood, it weirdly makes me hate them more 😉.

Brendon Gale managed to do that for Richmond and he's not a flog like Eddie.

Gale has had his moments though and said some dumb stuff over the years. And despite being at a big club that is in the news etc, he’s not Eddie and people aren’t looking to throw him to the gallows.

Nothing like the leader of the toothless unwashed.

I’ve actually met the guy, or at least been on his show (I won Fastest Finger😁). Seemed a top bloke who works his arse off. Think he did 8 shows that day after doing morning radio and God knows what else. Don’t get the frothing at the mouth hate for the guy.
