Footy Classified 2022

[hamohawk1]

No doubt Hutchy loves Kane because he drives media from his opinions/ statements, but f*ck me Kane theres no need to have a controversial take on absolutely everything.

FWIW i don't mind Kane but just tone it down a bit son.

 

[RAPPA]

Geez it’s embarrassing tonight. Ed arguing like an angry child.

 

[Gizmo]

Ed is angry tonight. Wants to fight everyone.

 

[Stottzy]

Ed cannot speak rationally about anything anymore. Just starts ranting and waving his arms around like it's gospel. Has lost the plot and should retire from tv.

 

[parano1a]

Eddie is far more qualified to talk about TV rights negotiations than Caro.

 

[yamborghinidream]

Carrying on for 10 minutes about the twilight grand final like it's a trillion dollar decision.

No flow on a Wednesday anymore - something needs to be done.

 

[the avoca drover]

Wednesday night should be renamed ”The Eddie McChins Rant Show”.
Bulldozers his opinion through and shouts over everyone.
Might as well not have the other panellists on the show, Ed knows everything.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

The fact he insinuated Moore took a dive was pathetic

He is an outdated Childish fool who has no relevance to the current AFL landscape

His type of thinking is the issue with the AFL product (from a gameday/media perspective)

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Most embarrassing episode of all time last night. Everyone talking over each other.
Ed was carrying on like a five year old.

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Watching last nights episode now. Agree with you all - Ed is out of control. It's embarrassing!

 

[the avoca drover]

He was getting so angry that all his chins were shaking.

 

[tombomb]

I am surprised more hasn't been made of last night's show, given the media's love for anything Eddie related.

He sounded like a complete lunatic when he was yelling and carrying on about a twilight grand final.

Last night he was both a populist (footy is going soft - who could disagree?) and a company man (night GF - inevitable)...that doesn't smack of someone who is irrelevant.

So due to someone's personal opinion they arn't irrelevant?

Eddie aint a company man, he's a corporate snake who is looking for a way back in (from a position standpoint) to the AFL corporate world

Eddie is a dying breed of overbearing, opiniated, im loudest so im right type operators

He is a trailblazer for the hyperbole media style in the AFL today

He smacks of desperation due to the fact that if its not an AFL shill that becomes the next CEO of the AFL, he will be even further on the outer

 

[MauroFogheri]

hyperbole

There's a lot of it going around

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Not surprised McGuire has adopted the view he has on the GF time slot.

I remember attending a Collingwood members forum a few years ago where this issue was raised by members. Eddie asked the audience whether they wanted the day GF to remain or to change it. The overwhelming majority in the audience put their hand up and supported retaining the traditional slot.

He quickly dismissed the room and said it was inevitable it would change in the foreseeable future.

“ CARO CARO CARO”

He was as smug on Triple M after the Brisbane Grand Final. Asked for everyones opinion and all the calls were in favour for a day still and that they didn't think night was as family friendly. Couldn't fathom why everyone but him thought otherwise and just belittled all the callers. Thought Ed maybe a decade ago was someone who valued the traditions of the game, but is probably worse than Hutchy now in trying to change and Americanise the game.

The great myth around Ed is that he’s a traditionalist.

He’s anything but that.

 

[tombomb]

Everytime I hear Hutchy and Eddie crapping on about a night grand final, like we are all so stupid and they are so enlightened ...

... I think of Shooter McGavin saying 'you know what else could draw a crowd? A golfer with an arm growing out of his a**.'

 

[TENACIOUS]

Footy Classified - Collingwood edition
It was borderline unwatchable on Wednesday night...

The quicker the show get rid of Hutchy and Eddie the better for us all...

Then you get Sam McClure.

That like when my housemate asked me if I wanted to watch Australian Idol or Big Brother. I asked her if there was a third option where we set fire to the TV.

Only thing hyperbolic around here is saying McGuire is relevant

Only thing hyperbolic around here is saying McGuire is relevant

Like him or not, he still has huge influence.

He didn't like the bloke who replaced him at Collingwood and look how long that lasted.
