Played there for 7 seasons but really only had 2-3 good years I'd say

I saw a fair few of those matches at Manuka. I will say that he was the smoothest runner and ball carrier that I have seen: he looked to be on wheels. Apart from that, though, he always seemed to offer a lot less than expectations. He didn't seem to influence any outcomes and, apart from the running and ball carrying, his footballing was very limited.
 
Supposedly has no cartlidge left in his bad knee, so dunno if surgeons can do much for that or not?
Perhaps he needs to shorten his run up for goal...

Macca had a similar issue & still managed good footy.

If Collingwood were being serious about tackling this issue, they would be changing their Chairman.

It's not like this was a once off.

Eddie doesn't think he is racist because he doesn't really understand... which showed with his comments yesterday.
 
Eddie should have been sacked on the spot years ago when his racist comments first surfaced.
It’s a good time for sacking a loser.

Not after his comments about holding Caro underwater???

There is a long list that shows his true colours. He's a disgusting person at heart.

How the **** are they calling that league the Victorian Football League?

Surely someone in that whole organisation would have said WTF you are taking the piss

It’s a proud day for the Victorian football league.
 
Wasn't that after he suggested Adam Goodes would be a good fit as King Kong?

I don't think his famed comments (bad jokes) were a sackable offence (since proven). They just showed him up as gauche. However, the recent report of embedded club issues may be another matter. He probably prempted that by foreshadowing his resignation when he read the report in December.
Anyhow, I have never liked him, having come across him in Sydney airport superciliously parading into the best Qantas lounge: he looked like a very nasty piece of work. I always took great pleasure in his facial expressions when Collingwood were getting beaten on TV. ;)

What is really interesting is the response from the AFL.

When players test positive for drugs (PEDS) or a recruitment manager makes a comment they are all over it like a rash. They are happy to single out individuals.

But when a club has a drug program or a systemic racism issue. Guess what?

It's about protecting the BRAND.

This is the problem. They are all too happy to play around the margins when it comes to the difficult issues, and they can single people out. Not people like Eddie BTW, he is far too influential and powerful.

It's all for show. And it's about damage control and protecting the brand. That was evident in Dill's "discussion" with Eddie. He stopped short of apologising for him but it was "an unfortunate choice of words that Dill wouldn't have used".

This is what Heritier Lumumba has been saying all along. It's about the brand. It's about $$$$$$.

So Dill, where do you sit? Are you prepared to make a stand against racism?

It would want to be a hell of a lot better than your stand against performance enhancing drugs.
 
I’d forgotten that on the Project, the moral arbiters of our time, Peter Helliar all but called out Lumamba for lying about his beloved Collingwood a few years back.
Waleed Ali was also pretty dismissive in an interview.


The video is about halfway down in a twitter link. Just terrible. It was bad at the the time and horrendous now.
