Colin Carter calls a general press conference.
Industry is in a state of turmoil re Covid, the season is starting etc plenty of reasons
Question is asked re Stephens incident.
Colin answered the incident is under police review and when all of the facts have been established they will give a thorough report.
Understandably this is a delicate situation and the players welfare is their only concern at this stage
McGuire breaks protocols and asks about an opposition player in an inappropriate way
McGuire attacks Geelong for calling a conference and not answering a question they are rightfully unable to do so
McGuire insists his stance is correct. These are not the way these things are handled
Carter rightfully says McGuire should apologise and that his position is compromised
McGuire is unrelenting and says the biggest conflict in the history of the game is Carter going from the AFL to Geelong with all of the intel
No facts to say Colin behaved inappropriately (red herring)
Robo is the only person who rightfully asks McGuire the hard questions. Other commentators are very hesitant to do so.
McGuire bullies the argument. He is given several examples re Collingwoods handling of players like Beams which contradict his position
McGuire then attacks our fixturing with flawed arguments.
Carter is defended by all as being an honourable man.
The facts are:
I can now see why the industry is compromised in its operations, media and support.
A bully is only given the power you give him
McGuire is compromised in the positions he holds
McGuire has a distorted view of things depending on the situation
McGuire is powerful in the media world to the extent that other commentators do not want to take him on.
Thank God for Robbo.
Collingwood benefits because of the McGuire factor
McGuire may have a clenched fist in the industry but the rank and file supporters think it is time for a change.
We thank the Geelong Club for being a moral compass in the industry.
