Eddie McGuire - What Do You Say Now ??

[LordLucifer]

Earlier in the week, Collingwood president Eddie McGuire was quite outspoken & firm in his views on those who transgress the AFL's covid rules :

Speaking on Triple M radio today, McGuire applauded the AFL for issuing a strict rule book for those in the hub and said big penalties needed to apply.

“If you do this… you’re all clear. If you do that… you’re in big trouble. If any one transgresses you’re on the plane home, we’re not going to cop this stuff. I think that’s where it has got to be,” he said.

“It’s just got to be so clear cut that no one can have any mitigation that I though this happened, or I heard that that happened. I thought I could do this… no you can’t. Bang.

McGuire’s message: Send misbehaving WAGs, families home

The AFL has come down hard on the four Victorian clubs involved in respective COVID-19 breaches.

What is he going to say about this then :

Collingwood is the latest club to become embroiled in a potential breach of the AFL’s strict COVID-19 protocols.
And it involves a former world No. 8 female tennis player, Nathan Buckley and senior assistant Brenton Sanderson.

Foxfooty.com.au understands the league will investigate whether Magpies coach Buckley and Sanderson played tennis with Alicia Molik.

Do we still care what Eddie says?

 

[Foucault1989]

Eddie is a hypocrite part 1000.

 

[Jack5]

Pretty hard to talk with his foot in his mouth.

 

[Wosh]

Eddie has the worst case of foot in mouth disease I’ve ever seen. It’s time to go.

Eddie stole the presents from under my Christmas tree, left me a tennis racquet and some alcohol I'm unfamiliar with then told me he's proud of me. I don't know how to feel

 

[kaiserchief13]

Oh damn this is definitely going to be mentioned to Eddie. He really must sack Buckley for this I would have thought, otherwise what he said was lies and meaningless

 

[hawker11]

You can't make this stuff up

the nob end cant help himself,what flight is figjam on tonight?

 

[fnerd]

Wish Eddie would just go home... and never come back.

 

[Wosh]

And half the fine suspended too. Joke.

 

[mellowyellow]

Hope Nathan enjoys the redeye back to Victoria

 

[Wosh]

3AW - Buckley and Sanderson did the noble thing and paid half the remaining $25,000 each.

Wish Eddie would just go home... and never come back

I’m 90% McGuire is still in Victoria.

Bucks on the other hand should be on the first flight home according to McGuire’s statements and Mark McGowan’s threats.

The problem is that the AFL does and would enforce it if it was any other club. Its interesting how Eddie gets away with his conflicts of interest but I guess he is not in politics.

 

[hawkman]

Maybe this was his way of trying to sack Buckley

 

[It Just Is]

It shits me that he says ‘we’ like he is the AFL.

 

[fnerd]

I’m 90% McGuire is still in Victoria.

Bucks on the other hand should be on the first flight home according to McGuire’s statements and Mark McGowan’s threats.

I was kinda figuratively speaking as in wish Eddie would just **** off out the AFL media/Collingwood presidency /AFL think tanks etc just over having to constantly hear his grandstanding and subsequent back tracking every 2 weeks on every issue the AFL puts up for discussion

 

[troybe]

Is Eddie running a footy club or a college fraternity? Eta Beta Pi would be a more suitable name for his ongoing shambles.

Depending on when it was Collingwood were probably out of quarantine so wouldn't have breached WA rules just the AFL's

 

[Red Bull]

We’re proud of Nathan ...

 

[TerryWallet]

Australians, and people in general, have a great capacity to forgive people who make mistakes (ie Sidebottom, Buckley, Sanderson).

What Australians, and people in general, can never forgive is loud mouthed consistent hypocrites (ie Eddie McGuire).

McGuire is loathed by nearly all, including a lot of Collingwood people. He needs the game a hell of a lot more than the game needs him. He needs Collingwood a hell of a lot more than Collingwood needs him. He did a good job for Collingwood 20 yrs ago, but they just don't need him and his ever presence in the media anymore. They haven't needed him for a long time in fact.

 

[Scott Van Persett]

Can’t beat AFL/VFL for hypocrisy. Ben Hart was suspended for 6 weeks for COVID rules breach ...only a financial penalty to club for head coach and assistant coach doing the same when we are so further advanced in COVID behaviour
