Rumours were true. He has officially stood down.

 

[agro]

And his press conference is all about him.

 

[HBF]

Had to happen. He just couldn't stay on as president.

 

[RPCB]

Somehow thought about the filth.

 

[Pablito]

Good riddance, ******* racist twat.

 

[haveago]

See you later Salty......

Well thats what my Colliwobble mate calls him cause he was in everything......

As above

 

[Jabba73]

he and Ed are meant to be pretty close Tassie Tiger. I think one of Ed’s most trusted lieutenants is an ex-ALP staffer who is also friends with Andrews. And the problem is that Andrews can’t call for Ed’s head without looking hypocritical as to why he didn’t stand down after the hotel quarantine saga. So... we might be stuck with Eddie for the year, unless the rest of the Collingwood board and sponsors are prepared to weigh in behind the scenes.

One has exactly * all to do with the other.

One is a systemic problem of known cases and origins for over two decades without the will power to do anything to change it. Response was to pretend it was all in the past and had been dealt with by looking at the problem. Widely condemned as an insulting and inadequate response to a problem that still hasn’t been addressed.

The other is mistakes made during a global pandemic of a previously unknown virus due to states being given responsibility for something that should be handled at a federal level. Immediate steps were taken to rectify the problem once it and the cause became known. Now praised and seen as best practice for control of the problem

The last thing any of us should do is bother with his press conference. I will hopefully go through the rest of my life never listening to anything he says ever again. Good riddance to trash.

Until he tries to enter the political sphere..

 

[Jabba73]

Fallout won't end with just Ed

Reckon another board member and the captain are next

I just vomited a little bit in my mouth.

Bye McChins!

Statement to Collingwood members

As a valued member of the Collingwood Football Club we’d like to inform you that Eddie McGuire has stepped into a press conference to announce his immediate resignation from the club’s presidency

Just wowed your post, shocked to be sitting here

 

[SurreyBlue]

Over to the Filth forum I go.......this will be enlightening.

I am picking a coach

See ya no more, Mr Dinosaur.

Eddie was initially very good for Collingwood, after about 5 years the conflicts of interest and gaffes started to accumulate. If he had left even after a decade, he would probably be remembered for all the good he did for their club, and sometimes the game.

Now he leaves a shattered club with both theirs and his reputations in ruins. Seems no one was willing or able to give him some frank and fearless advice and that is always the first step in an Empire falling.

Will be too soon if we have to listen to his opinions on any subject again within at least 5 years.

Bucks and Eddie were always a package deal, assumed he was going already

 

[RPCB]

Bye McChins!

Maybe not relevant but I would have written ”..... valued supporter of @CollingwoodFC“. “Fan“ kind of diminishes the ones who aren’t members like they are somehow less important to the football club.

 

[myblueroan]

Defiant Ed goes down swinging.
Sad day,
But lack of humility .....the very thing that led to his demise.
Did a lot of good over the years,
but rattling off all your good deeds yourself, is uncomfortable viewing.

Sad day indeed. I do feel for him but it was all there..all the reasons why.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Eddie rightfully falling on his sword. Hopefully allows the all parties impacted by the issue to heal. Not sure if others close to the playing group fall. Apologise maybe but not fall. Teflon...

 

[haveago]

Will he still call games....?

Most likely IMO . Be interesting but he can spin (just about) anything in his favor with help from his media connections/ outlets.

will probably call more games now he has less football commitments with the Pies

I guess you’ve just got to ask whether a proportion (not a majority... but a reasonable proportion) of your voting public in Victoria would see parallels. If so, then Andrews did have had trouble commentating dispassionately on Eddie. Anyway, he saved Eddie by a week (along with Gil), and it would be interesting to know if he put pressure on him behind the scenes to culminate in today’s announcement.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

So who’s left at the wobbles??

Figjam, old mate Mayne and that blood clot recruiting guy.

Happy days indeed.

Interesting nickname he refers to himself as, also type of animal he thinks he would be.

Sam’s podcast discussion will be very interesting tomorrow.
