Malthouse - McGuire.....A Package deal?

[Bigness]

It is well known that the main reason MM landed at Pie Land is his close friendship with Eduardo McGuire. We are all talking about whether MM's time is up. Does MM's close association with Eddie make it hard for MM to be moved on without Eddie going too?

I am just trying to imagine how Eddie could engineer a change in senior coach given he is responsible for bringing him to the club. Does Eddie stand aside along with MM? Do we look at a whole new changing of the guard of Coach and President?

There good Friends but I can grantee if Mick goes, Eddie Won't go

I think that MM has been in this caper long enough to know that if he doesn't deliver, and deliver soon, that the tap on the shoulder will come sooner rather than later.

Didn't someone say that MM is contracted until the end of '09? Makes sense for him to see it out - you can't say he's 'failed' this year, and there's no indications that '09 is going to be a bad one... In fact with everyone back to health (crossed fingers) it could be a corker.

So I think these kinds of Qs are a bit premature - let's speculate in May/June '09.

Come on, don't write me off just yet. I am just offering Eddie a life line because no one else will!

Comedian announces tilt at Collingwood presidency

Kieran Butler is Melbourne based comedian and regular contributor to SEN radio. He is best known to Collingwood supporters and Melbourne comedy fans for his stand up comedy show “Kieran Butler claims Collingwood ruined my Life”. During his regular spot on SEN last Monday Kieran outlined some of his policies and formally announced his campaign to become club president at Collingwood.

He released his campaign theme song which borrows heavily from TISM’s 1991 release “We are the Champignons” - and marries it to Michael Malthouse’s recent admission that Collingwood is, in fact, no good.

“I wrote most of my comedy show in a sleepless daze in a Glasgow flat 72 hours after Collingwood lost the 2003 Grand Final. At that time I wrote that Eddie and Mick, who up until that point were both considered successful people, should just leave then and there before it ruined them too.

When Mick said that stuff on the weekend I realized it was too late for him. As president I will keep him on. He’s one of us now. But I reckon Eddie has still got time. 1 versus 100 was not as bad as it could have been. I am simply offering him an opportunity to jump ship while we’re able to laugh about it. I am just offering Eddie a life line because no one else will.”

Butler’s campaign slogan is “More of the same for Collingwood”. Amongst other initiatives that will be announced in the coming months Butler has promised to:

• Cut season ticket and membership prices by $100 – it shouldn’t cost so much to suffer so much

• Pioneer research into creating a futuristic machine that can erase memories of past Grand Final victories that do more harm than good – except for 1927-1930

• Move Collingwood back to Victoria Park and convert the Lexus centre into a world class music venue featuring a season of Dire Straits concerts to pay for the cheap season tickets

• Be open and honest with all new draftees about how things are likely to pan out for them and give them the choice to either stay – or try out for the Olympic water polo team

• Never, ever appoint Nathan Buckley as coach – he has suffered enough.

• Apply all profits from Collingwood's pokie pubs to set up a special counseling service that will help Collingwood fans come to terms with our lot in life rather than continuing to forlornly strive for a premiership that will never come.

Butler will perform “Collingwood ruined my Life” at 5.45 PM at the Retreat Hotel, 226 Nicholson St, Abbotsford this Friday 1st August. The show will conclude at 6.45 PM in time to catch the 7.01 PM train from Collingwood to Jolimont for the Collingwood v Hawthorn match at 7.40 PM. Collingwood has previously won 9 times out of the 11 occasions the show has been performed on a match day.

Just got word Sam Newman was in Collingwood this afternoon with a COW.

Milking it for everything it's worth.

Now get back to winning games. The Pies cost me last week on the punt.
