Hi all, I've been absent for a while settling in to my new digs on the Sunshine coast so haven't posted much in the last 2 years but one issue has got me a bit fired up. What's with footy commentators making disparaging comments about Mason Cox and his goggles. Having read about what Mason has...

One would hope that the AFL comes down very hard on Port for ignoring the ruling that they cannot wear that piece of rubbish. You would imagine that there will at least be talk of loss of premiership points as well as significant fines. Those scenes played out after the match would equate to an...

The main worry I have now for the club is how they will find someone who can even come close to filling Eddie's shoes. History has told us that poor club presidents are a dime a dozen. Those with big egos seeking prestige at the cost of the clubs they preside over have existed since long before...

It's only recently that I had to concede that Eddie had to go now. I do not and have never considered him to be a racist but as he said, he has become a lightning rod and it sadly reflects on the club. What will never change is that in my 60+ years, Collingwood has never had a better president...

It is an interesting thought but I think a lot of people make that same mistake. I can't disagree that 6 weeks seems a long time but I suppose given everything else that goes on inside a club it's possibly fair to suggest that they wanted more time to prepare a significant and appropriate...

That's a question I have been asking myself too. I have been toying with a bit of a theory based on my own past experiences. I can think of occasions in the past where I may have been addressing an issue either in business or in my private life where I have completely distorted the perception of...

I think the point is that it's not relevant in the context of this discussion. So much of what was posted last night was done with some kind of paternalistic tone which was never going to gain the desired response. There are those who believe that discussion of racism against white Australians...

With the possible exception of Eddies immediate removal and who would blame him.

That would make sense given that Heritier's refusal to name names has smeared every one of them who was there when he was. Sad state of affairs!

I made this post in another thread but it probably belongs here.

Sadly, after a couple of days educating myself, reading and listening to opinions and a lot of soul searching, I am beginning to come to the conclusion that Eddie should step down as soon as possible. Much as I have loved a lot of what he has done and in particular the fact that he virtually...

Coming from a Sydney supporter your comments are somewhat predictable. There are names in your comparison list that make Eddie and Newman look like saints. Pridham! Pfffft!

I think it's fairly obvious that the club would have been highly unlikely to commission the report without Lumumba's accusations and that's probably where the club has not shown itself to be particularly wonderful. I just think that there has to be a start point and I see the report as being...

As I said earlier, I'm not privy to what the club's timetable was and in fact I was not aware of its tabling date. I was simply quoting the media in stating that it was leaked before its intended release date. As such, I'm not claiming definitive evidence. I can't disagree that the club has had...

I'm not familiar with the club's intended timetable for the release of the report and nor am I aware of any evidence that the leaking of it was strategic and so I am basing that on what has been reported alone. If you have evidence to the contrary I'm happy to change my opinion. I am certainly...
