Anyone would think it was a Collingwood that just lost to Richmond.

Yeah. Maybe you are right.So Ed is less annoying than the ads. Maybe you over reacted
Ed always tends to gush about opposition clubs in an effort to seem unbiased. God knows why he’d bother putting in the effort as the President of a club, it’s usually pretty cringeworthy.
Maybe if he’d given Balme the same power to make changes while he was at Collingwood while he was here instead of dicking him with Gubby then we wouldn’t have to anticipate the horror that might be a Richmond premiership.
Ed working in the media is by definition news.Ed works in the media. This isn't news.
It really grated watching our Collingwood president rave and rant in an apoplexy of excitement when he talked about Richmond and their supporters today.. It is even more galling when the club he oversees has been so poor for a number of years. It's one thing to be unbiased and magnanimous but he seems almost as hysterical about Richmond's win as he was when we made GF's. I am trying to imagine another club president-say from Carlton or Essendon going purple in the face as he raves about the magnificent Collinwood footy club and their fantastic supporters. Not right.
Most memorable example was going psycho commentating a Carlton win a couple of years backEd always tends to gush about opposition clubs in an effort to seem unbiased. God knows why he’d bother putting in the effort as the President of a club, it’s usually pretty cringeworthy.

When I watch the footy on foxtel, I just press mute when Eddie comes on. Works fine.Gee we get worked up over very little at the moment.
He has a job to do and if you don't like it turn the channel over to another.
It feels like it.Anyone would think it was a Collingwood that just lost to Richmond.
I don’t believe I said that at all. Read my post again.Let me get this right Apex36......if we had Balme as opposed to Walsh we would have made the changes necessary to make the GF in 2017?
You’re bringing Gubby’s exploits in to this, not me. Take my post at face value. If Balme was not at Richmond to implement the cleanout and changes over last offseason I don’t think Richmond would be in the position they are. If we’d given Balme the freedom he’s had at Richmond to fix their FD during his time at Collingwood we’d be in a better place than we are now.We play the victim card better than any Club.
******* Gubby he should hung for what he did to our Club.
P.S Well done to the Tigers and Dusty they deserve to be playing for the Cup in 2017.
Its the whole "Look what can happen when you show faith in the coach" thing. If Hardwick can puill this off, no doubt Ed will (probably already has) draw similarities with Buckley
Ed working in the media is by definition news.
I will tell u exactly why he is doing it, trying to use Richmond as an example on why he kept Buckley as coach to show if they can do it we can do it.
Its pathetic, and im so over his attempts to make other examples the reason he makes his bias decisions.
Richmond has had no injuries and the second easiest draw. Give the Tigers the same injuries as the Giants and they would be nowhere.

You know I’m not a fan of Gubby, but none of the above has anything to do with him.
Edited my post for clarification on Gubby.I actually don't care if you don't like Gubby......you mentioned him by the way.
Balme did **** all at our Club, he was a "Bucks yes man".........you are mistaken if you don't think he had a free reign at our Club.
Richmond 2017 has got many similarities to St.Kilda 2010 to me. Adelaide is the best team but if Dusty plays a blinder anything can happen.
For some maybe, for others not.It feels like it.
Edited my post for clarification on Gubby.
Whether or not Balme was a Buckley yes man, he clearly wasn’t given any directive to implement change. It should have been put to him to fix things rather than bringing someone in over the top. Just unprofessional all round by the club in the way it was handled.
