Eddie is more worried about the huge amount of egg he will have on his face if Malthouse wins a Premiership with the Blues before Buckley! The only reason Buckley is coach of Collingwood is because Eddie could not bare the thought of Buckley coaching somewhere else (and he would've) and then being lost to Collingwood for the next 10 years or forever! No other reason, it's a fact. I also think that Nathan Buckley has done a great job with Collingwood considering he has a few sooks playing in the team plus a couple of weirdos. Buckley is a career coach and if it all goes pear shaped at the Pies maybe he could take over from the Golden Boy down the track?What a thoughtful person Ed is and what a coincidence it comes out now, when it looks like Mick is going to coach the arch enemy.
"COLLINGWOOD feared it could "kill'' Mick Malthouse if it had not enacted a coaching transition three years ago..."

Eddie is a child. He will not hesitate to take an irrational swipe at someone/anyone if it will keep the media focus on him. He goes around loudly proclaiming his love for Collingwood, but I for one don't buy it. I bet if the board at Collingwood instructed him to stay out of the media and refrain from public comment, he would be gone in a flash and off to the next thing that satisfied his enormous ego.
I would be embarrassed if Eddie was involved at my club and constantly shot his mouth off. I was so glad that Steve Harris just ignored his childish attacks on Fremantle during the Cloke media circus. When quizzed on the subject he simply laughed and dismissed Eddie as the joke that he is....
Were you embarrassed at what your club did to Harvey last year
Eddie knows what is best for everyone. When did he get his PHD?
Hanging around with the great and good of the VFL/AFL at The Tunnel.
Eddie should worry about himself.
God the stress of him watching the Brownlow the other year nearly killed him.
Simple.. FEAR..
His earlier in the year comments about Malthouse being a perfect fit was when the Blues were at their lowest and our list looked shot and Collingwood was riding high on a big winning streak and starting to look like premiership favourites.... all of a sudden we unearth some good young kids and get our mojo back and look to at least return to finals next year (2013)... whilst Collingwood although top 4/5 doesn't look to be able to win it this year.
I also think that perhaps he's starting to believe the "If Malthouse goes to Carlton, Cloke will follow rumours as will some other Collingwood people"... so this is Eddie trying to stop Malthouse coming for I think he has suspicions of a few who will leave the pies and come to the arch enemy if Malthouse to Carlton eventuates....
Also as others pointed out... if Malthouse snares a flag at the Blues before Bucks does at Collingwood... boy would it be splattered all over the fan...
So Bell, McInnes, Casboult, Watson are 4 players who are a handful of players that got a run and have showed good promise is not worth mentioning? And so we had a bad loss, it happens but we still in the last couple of months we knocked off Collingwood (ended their winning streak), beat a much improved richmond, slaughtered Essendon, beat a Bulldogs outfit playing our worst team ever (including our wooden spoon years).. so we lost to GC.. Richmond have never defeated them and would you say Richmond aren't improving. Hiccups happen (North is a great example as well).. so we move on... we've identified it's time for a new voice as coach and dismissed Ratten (he was with us for over 5 years which is a great run in the coaching caper)...Unusual comment considering your club just suffered its most embarrassing loss in 100 years and sacked its coach, and missed the finals afater expecting a top 4 finish. Carlton supporters arrogance knows no bounds
Ironically Eddie couldn't handle the stress of working for Channel Nine as CEO nor did he know what was the best direction for the business. Typical megalomanic with delusions of grandeur is our Eddie.Eddie knows what is best for everyone. When did he get his PHD?
Pretty disgraceful comments I reckon. Someone else's health is none of his business.
