Demons Raid angers Magpies

[Hannibal 5,814]

A good president doesn't have to be a loud mouth like Ed or Jeff.

True, but being a loud mouth doesn't necessarily make you a bad one either.

A great business man. not quite sure that is true anymore. GTV 9 are still trying to recover from his sackings, particulary the news dept. I'm still trying to recover from lkg at Tracy Curo's cleavage. Sorry but it's like Lkg at your grandma's cleavage. Mc Chins thought that GTV 9 needed to go down the King St style of ratings. A BIG flop as a corporate CEO and left without the publicity it deserved.

Sorry, but I think you've obviously been mesmerised by the sight - don't you mean Grimshaw ?

W'eve been having similar discussions on here, check us out, just a friendly plug settle down.

Anyone who has read "Who Killed Channel Nine?" by Gerald Stone would know just how unsuccessful Eddie was as CEO, that isn't really the issue. My issue is with Ed and Collingwood in the last few months jumping up and down about being raided, as if it's never happened before (Malthouse). They wanted the AFL to have a new rule so poaching coaches wouldn't occur during the finals after losing Watters and Neeld. IMO if you are a successful club, it's the cost of doing business.

Yep Grimshaw, I'm etching it from my mind, well trying!

In the HUN today.

"Demons Sticking to their Guns"

McLardy said the club would continue to do "Whatever it takes" to be successful and are unrepentant in their pusuit of Jason Taylor.

At long last we are baring our teeth off field.

This is the Change in culture We've been after. Hoping it translates to the same change in culture on the ground.

Keep going Don...this helps membership. Shows the club wants to win not just be part of the numbers.

I dont think there is any change. This is more a continuation.

I would have thought the current administration has been sticking to its guns and doing "Whatever it takes" to be successful.

We tanked in 2008/09 to gain PPs. We quickly traded some supporters favoured sons (McLean and Brock) for picks. We have pursued player trades aggressively. Much of this was done with some short term pain but with an LT perspective in place.

Eddie on SEN now

[1858 285]

Eddie on SEN no

So according to Eddie they poach people "respectfully" where as what we're doing isn't. I think I get it now.

Yes....This is the time to stand up otherwise we will get bashed again. They don't want MFC to climb, that's obvious.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

The continual hand wringing here over Eddie continually spruiking Collingwood's interest is hilarious. I am not sure why so many are rivetted listening to him. He is a frist class spruiker of his own or Collingwood's interest. Its the same thing time and time again.

A bit over the top.

He made inflamatory remarks towards Melbourne to the point where even our president has made a not so thinly veiled response.

When will McLardy get over the hand wringing?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

McLardy hardly goes into meltdown on every McGuire comment like some on D'land. And i would expect McLardy to be a bit more astute when deciding when and if to respond to McGuire.

Its always the same from McGuire. You know what he is going to say. The double standards are mostly obvious and consistent. He wants a better deal for Collingwood...period. Most of his talk is self spun and serving promotion that just stirs the pot and the chooks go for it.

[Deestroy All 14,266]

Apart from the old contrarian up there^, it's good to see a thread where the vast majority of us are united. So good on you Eddie, make yourself look like an idiot (sponsors comment) while uniting opposition supporters. Good job.

'Some' being the operative word. Generalisations aren't required when posters wish to voice their opinion on issues related to Melbourne and making them adds nothing to the discussion.

Which is why most people try not to listen to him either in a football capacity or non football capacity. Listening to SEN in a week leading up to a Melbourne vs Collingwood game is hardly being "rivetted" to McGuire.

I wouldn't mind the Ponsford stand as a social club for members during away games.

Well you can bet London to a brick he is going to be on SEN to represent Collingwood interests and he is going to stir the pot. And its typical SEN fodder. I am not sure why you punish yourself. B)

I don't listen to SEN often either but it is beside the point in any case. They call him "Eddie Everywhere" for a reason. It is about tuning out from him when he invades your ear space but this week he was asked about an issue involving Melbourne, the same issue McLardy addressed - pretty simple.

So it comes back to making generalisations...

I don't know what your problem is; McGuire disrespects the MFC, posters on a MFC supporter board get upset, as they should, and you think they're going over the top.

If the supporters on here were not prepared to show outrage I think you/we would have greater cause for concern.

Hand wringing.

How is this antagonist a mod?

I know people that don't read Demonland just because of Rhino Richards.

Usually I couldn't care less, but I'm sick of seeing this guy's double standards, and his constant condescending hounding of WYL is frankly tiresome.

This question is for any of the other mods to read/reply/delete, so RR you need not concern yourself.

I agree, I reckon at least 50% or more of his posts are to berate others.

I think 1858's point is well made regarding McGuire and McLardy re Melbourne and the poaching. It's news for supporters of both clubs and of significant interest in recruiting for the FD. Regardless of it being on SEN, 3AW or wherever.
