Iceberg interesting analogy.
Not sure I agree, but there is more to than just players agree.

To use your analogy to me its the players that are underneath.

The tip is all the stuff the media go on and on and on about.
The simple what they see and what they turn into any sort of controversy.

Interesting analogy of icebergs.

Ha, you turned that berg on its tail pretty quick.

An alternative candidate would need to jump through a lot of hoops. It’s not just about thinking they could do a better job, they’ve also got to be in life situation where they could afford the time for such a role (unpaid) and if they do have the time, would they want to spend it being President of a footy club?

One of the challenges is that nobody could possibly be a better Ed than Ed. You see it on here. Whenever people are challenged to think of a better President, many invariably pick off the famous people associated with Collingwood. Why does the President need to be a famous person? Why do they need to be someone we’ve heard of before? Why should we be expected to know better candidates? Who’d ever heard of Peter Murphy until 6 months ago? Who’d ever heard of Christine Holgate until a couple years ago? How many club Presidents have a public persona outside of their footy club? Ed and Kochie and, well, that’s about it?



Is there (theoretically) anything more to it than that? The candidate just gives their name to the returning officer by the deadline, they ignore Ed’s calls trying to talk them out of it, and then turn up at the AGM for the vote.

Of course if they’re serious then there is more to it than that (forming a ticket, lobbying coteries, etc)

You are giving nothing but excuses, and herein lies the problem with those thinking Ed's time is up.....they have nothing but 'whoa-is-me its not fair'
Voting members fully recognise the empty rhetoric and therefore they stick with Ed

 

[Baltimore Jack]

You don’t seem to get the satire of my post, don’t you see I’m only a joking mate... Dont be defending old Lena Dunham McGuire and condemning me for the same idiotic type comments... Im just inspired by old Toorak Toff Ed. I guess if the president can make idiotic, and blatantly stupid comments on the record, why can’t I as a Collingwood supporter? I mean it’s like your saying the President has no influence over the supporter group???

He calls out Jews as being tight? I’ll call him a herbal tea drinking, woman’s day reading diet freak all day of the week. He infers Goodes is an ape and jokes about mussi’s, then I’ll keep calling the guy a failure at being skinny. Just a joke, what’s your problem

lol now this morning he was talking about how much money "the fatties" are costing us during his Quiz section in the morning.

Can't wait to see the articles on that one that'll show up soon no doubt.

If this comment causes people to officially complain, then life as we know it has gone to hell in a handcart. Anti-semitic? Give me a break please. This would be a couple of the usual suspects; loony zionists and easily outraged wowsers looking for relevance. Next.

On the contrary, many of the folks who want Ed gone have been quite eloquent about their reasons. They cite the club’s declining on field performances over recent years and Ed’s role in that (not holding the senior coach to account, revolving door of football managers), they cite his embarrassing gaffes, they suggest that bringing in a new face might freshen the place up a bit.

I don’t think I have ever seen anybody arguing that giving somebody else a go would be the “fair” thing to do? Have you?

I don’t think I have ever seen anybody argue either side of the Ed debate from any point of view other than wanting what is best for Collingwood?

Voting members fully recognise the empty rhetoric and therefore they stick with Ed

You quite openly lambast the Federal Government about their policies without having to justify why you’re not going up in front of the electorate yourself and offering to do a better job (as is your right)

Why shouldn’t folks be able to also do that for their footy club?

Didn't know Zionist per se was a pejorative term.

What a great word, wowser, it's Australian I think.

Interesting how words can mean different things to different people.

Just an observation not a personal comment at anyone.

Eddie at the pies, Jeff at the Hawks. Interesting similarities but the significant difference is that the the Hawks have retained good use of Jeff over the years whilst maintaining a healthy distance. I'm not convinced the Pies have achieved that.

Is this guy incapable of keeping his foot out of his mouth?

- homophobic comments at the Winter Olympics

- calling West Sydney the land of the falafel

- the Adam Goodes King Kong disgrace

- calling John Eren a Turkish born Mussie in a professional setting

- the drown Caroline Wilson comments

- “Make Collingwood Great Again” inspired by whackjob Trump

- the “troubled” comments leaked by the Club about Lumumba and Krakouer

- now jokes about how tight Jewish and Scottish people are

Is this guy the Lena Dunham of the AFL? The old “it’s only a joke mate” routine should have worn thin years ago. When’s the penny gonna drop for him to just STFU with the old school race/gender/sexuality jokes in public?

Our Vice President, who I might add is about a million times more qualified to be President than Ed, is of Jewish heritage FFS.

As a person of Scottish and Jewish ancestry myself I think Ed can go EAD with his stereotypes.

Jesus, Alan Mcalister is looking like a saint in comparison to anerexic Ed. The Board need to rid themselves of the Toorak Toff. He lost his marbles in 07 after being boned as CEO by Nine.

How many more times can the Board sit on its hands placating this buffoon before they grow some nuts, do what they should have done after the Goodes comments and move him on?

I work with a very close family friend of Lumumba. She has confirmed that racisism at the club is rife and Eddie is the major problem. Apparently it was tempered in Malthouse era but Buckley has been a bystander in it all. Eddie's time is up he is undoing all the great things he has done.He is the modern day MacAlister as Buckley is the modern day Shaw

The comment was inappropriate and distasteful. There was no need for it to be made.

Judaism and Zionism are not the same thing.

I was going for the five second bite jmac, avoiding having to put effort into my post.

It means along the lines of both being larger than life personalities with a potential to get involved in poo. Right now, for example, Jeff is neck deep in some stuff with the Glenorchy Council - part of Hobart. Now if that was Ed, him being synonymous with the pies and all, we'd be dragged into the muck. Jeff has managed to avoid being seen as Hawthorn, and vice versa, so that muck doesn't carry through. Still, Jeff was president, now is again so they have retained his skills and clout, whatever they may be. We still have Eddie through this period and have worn everything Eddie does or say throughout. We might have been able to do the same as Hawks if we weren't so caught up in old traditions, president for life bs. Jeff is not viewed as Hawthorn, just the current president. Eddie is viewed as Collingwood, and may (according to SV) actually consider himself that.

Did that five minute bite help?

Bullshit... complete and utter bullshit, I hope Ed sues you

And did Nathan become a racist before or after his indigenous girlfriend Shelley Ware?

And Harry if that's you get better mate, still a premiership hero and we love you but you need to take responsibility for your own actions and the outcome to your health

I appreciate your reply. In my view however it has more to do with the fact that not many people actually care about Hawthorn. Yes they are successful, and apparently have lots of members, but they don’t have anywhere near the following we have. It is true that Ed is Collingwood, and I love it! He represents the passion we all feel. Very different to Hawks, and most other clubs.

All your friend has done is confirm Lumambas perceptions.
Just because Lumumba says that racism at Collingwood is rife doesn't actually make it so.

So on a serious note, based on your comments above, and correct me if I am wrong, you are more than happy with the successes at Collingwood over the past say 45 years versus those achieved at Hawthorn? As long as we are bigger, more in the public eye and have a more high profile passionate President. Have I got it?

Further, by extension, I assume that we then have nothing to learn from the likes of Hawthorn and would never consider replicating/part replicating whatever it is that they do.
