'Eddie urges Victorians to join Magpie Army'

[Tigernator]

Dream on Eddie hope you lose by 118 points.

After that feral joffa burnt a Richmond beanie the other day, i hope it's 200 points!

 

[HawkMongrel]

Nope, fist yourself Ed.

#Eagles

Enjoyable to read this thread. See interstaters us #Viccos are not as xenophobic as y'all.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Why do people bite with Eddie's nonsense? The man has been in the media for over 30 years, he knows what game he is playing.

He's suppose to stand up for injustices, not manipulate them for his own personal gain.

Do you even AFL?

The irony

Says the guy who thinks media are meant to be impartial lol

 

[BBC1967]

I think the real insecurity is coming from yourself. It makes you look like a bit of a nuffy posting this and making those comments with a West Coast avatar.

Eddie saying this, Adam Treloar saying it, or Tyson Goldsack saying it, is nothing more than the traditional pre-GF rev up and posturing that goes on. Would you think it's insecure for Adam Simpson to ask Freo supporters to get behind you?

Take a step back, breathe, and really think about your contribution.

Delusional!!!!

He accepts a wage from a national broadcaster

So yes he is suppose to be impartial

 

[Messenger]

*, no.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Go and get ****ed Eddie xox

Weagles, you got one job

Uh...no.

It completely depends on his role within the media. He’s not an investigative journalist, he’s not a reporter. He can realistically do as he pleases as long as he doesn’t breach the terms of his employment.

People can’t be this dumb, can they?

Sadly it would seem that they can be this dumb.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

How could somebody who's spent most of their life in the Victorian footy world be so tone deaf? Does he not understand how tribal the game is?

It would be like asking Port fans to cheer for Adelaide in the GF last year.

 

[BoxMatrix]

Like Eddie would say the same if Carlton or Essendon we’re playing

I mean, he probably would. Especially if it's against an interstate team. Just check out his commentary when a Victorian team play an interstate team. He's so biased in favor of Victorian teams.

 

[demontim27]

Sadly it would seem that they can be this dumb.

Celebrities almost constantly use their media platform to push their own views. I really don’t understand how people think all “media” roles have to be non-bias.

There’s literally an entire section of the media that’s devoted to the author or journo pushing their own bias.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I think you’ll find JB is far more in touch with the feelings of the entire human race

Why the hell do we need “Victoria’s support” I hope everyone goes for the Eagles so we laugh even louder if we win

Not really as tribal as WA or SA rivalries. There’s 10 teams in vic. Some teams people prefer over others, if it was west coast vs Geelong I’d be backing the eagles, west coast vs Collingwood I’d prefer collingwood

 

[Baird]

Reminder that if you’re not supporting Collingwood this week you’re unaustralian.

The proper Collingwood view. I don’t know wtf Eddie is on about.

 

[Pragmatic Shill]

Delusional!!!!

He is, I agree.

[mxett]

err no Eddie, no

An honest answer, Eddie is off his nut and none of us will fall for it anyway!
