No offence PM, but he’s clearly pulling strings in the background.

He's only stuck himself in there to stop Caro going after Collingwood. Instead she's left with the slops which is the Hawthorn half-story.

With respect to the current board, he fell out with most of them.
In regards to Jeff Browne pushing for the presidency, it wouldn't surprise me if he's involved behind the scenes despite the public denials.

If you think Eddie is bad on FC try watching him on Millionaire, he loves a chat instead of getting on with it.
Just amazed it's taken till now for so many people to find the Eddie Wednesday show intolerable.
I only lasted a couple of shows last year because of his boorishness and arrogance.
And fwiw, wouldn't surprise at all if he returned as Pies president. It's been less than six months since he was humiliatingly forced out and already that's been memory-holed and the media is treating him like the saviour of keeping the GF in Melbourne.

He’s gotten significantly worse to be fair.
His style is just raise the voice, talk over and bulldoze people.
I’m surprised the other panel members don’t stick up to him more.

Matty Lloyd does sometimes and usually brings a bit of sense to the discussion but he isn't overly loud/confrontational or a 'bulldozer' as you put it so can get drowned out by Eddie just charging through.
It's hard to "discuss" (argue) when every 2nd word is being cut off
"Just let me say this..."
Has gotten worse since he resigned from the presidency.
How on earth can you think could return as president by the board who sacked him?
And one of his best mates is challenging.
He left the place in a shambles.
He's no chance.

Hopefully they get her on First Crack to give Ben Dixon a journalism lecture!

Remember when Eddie responded to a question about Port wearing the bars with 'haha, no, no comment from me, but I'll say this...'
Then proceeded to spend two minutes commenting on it?
That's his and only method on footy classified.

When push comes to shove, on controversial topics that a journalist would meed to thoroughly research and fact-check, Caro puts her journalism responsibilities ahead of her relationship with clubs or anyone in football. Few others do the same. I respect her.

And not obsessed by being first which is lovely. Takes that extra time to check sources and find more context.

Not as much as McClure. The guy actually put together and aired a package of people strongly doubting him on 3AW. He acts like he just broke the story of paedophilia being rife in the Catholic church. Can't stand him. Probably what shits me the most about what Hawthorn have done. We've made sports journos feel good.

That was awkward, he started talking like he was still Collingwood President. Er, it's not your fight anymore Ed.

Footy Classified spent 10 minutes on the Clarko and Hawthorn issue. Nice dig at Gary Lyons , paying his highlight declaring Caro would not have egg on her face, she would have an omlette!
Does anyone else enjoy that little animation for "Close Checking", that has Kane Cornes chasing Patrick Cripps, then Tex Walker, then Damian Hardwick, all to a weird clip-clop sound effect?
Maybe it's just me, but I get a juvenile chuckle out of that every time.

How about Lloyds, sorry , Llordo’s closing cook ? Looks a little disturbing what he has on the hot plate. And when did he go from Lloydy to Llordo ? s**t change of nickname.

Is that the 5 time AA, yes 5 time AA?

I am a fan of "Llordo" - mainly because he was my favourite player growing up. But what irks me about him is how far he's tried to distance himself from Essendon as a club, especially since the saga and our general shitness for the last 10+ years.
Didn't want to support and stick up for the club at its low, but would happily jump back on the bandwagon when (and if) we start winning again. He might even get his intro changed from 5 time AA to Essendon Champion Forward or something.

Did laugh at last nights show when Ed started to crap on about the Collingwood succession plan and Caro said “It’s not all about you Ed” then continued talking to Lloyd.
