I can't help but imagine him stroking a white cat while saying these things. Either that or he's gone to the Vince McMahon School of Business.

He is an idiot - Fremantle has the same salary cap as Collingwood so if Cloke walks its not like it was due to an unfair advantage. Completely different scenario to losing players to GC or GWS. He just likes to sook and bellyache to make others scared of going after any Pies staff or players but at the end of the day that's the new era we live in and there is nothing he can do about it which I'm sure is upsetting to a control freak like him. Focusing solely on the club that poaches one of your players is short sighted and counter productive. If they have $800k a year to throw around surely there's better players to entice than those on Freo's list.

Good luck Eddie, the West Australian clubs have the biggest cheque books in the AFL. I can see Travis Cloke being the environmental spokes person for Woodside. The issue the Pies have Cloke signs they will lose players with O'Brien and Beams the likely candidates

[NorwoodDemon 20]

O'Brien said hes going nowhere and i thought beams had already signed? unless i was dreaming that.

Maybe the Clokes are at War with McGuire, & what better way to Rub it in than to speak publicly about it on his own TV station & show.

I'm not convinced that he'll end up at Freo, but I hope he leaves.

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Eddie should know that players have to want to leave their club so all the free cash from cloke leaving doesn't automatically get you players. I'm sure out west they are packing their dacks right now that eddie has gobbed off again.

My heart bleeds and my crocodile is weeping .

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

How dare anyone encroach on Eddie's turf. What arrogance! What disdain for the rights of Eddie and the rest of the filth!

Only Eddie and the filth have the right to poach or encroach or be arrogant or do what they bloody like! That's the law!

[BAMF 4,414]

"Because if we lose Cloke I will have a war chest and will declare war on the world."

This is just absurd. Does he listen to himself?

[BAMF 4,414]

"And first port of call will be Fremantle, don't worry about that. You think I'm joking don't you? I'm not joking, I promise you."

He's not joking guys.

[bush demon 2,118]

Good on Eddie. He is only standing up for his people like we should when our lily-livered club let Ron Barassi walk out on our club with the well-wishes of the coach.

[pitmaster 3,588]

Bombastic [censored].

[Maldonboy38 6,406]

I have had a total gutful of Madman McGuire. His egotism, bullying, ranting and red-faced narcissistic psychosis is an embrrassment to anyone who likes to talk, comment and interact with footy. As Gina Reinhart is to publishing Eddie is to footy - a total [censored] and the industry is embarrassed by him. He spoils my enjoyment of reading articles, listening to SEN and all the other footy stuff I enjoy.

Eddie - no one gives a rats tossbag about your war-chest, your "big club here at Collingwood", your attack on Fremantle, or any other load of loud mouth carp you wish to vent. Just go away and leave us all alone, we are sick to death of you.

[beelzebub 23,388]

poor Eddie....pooooorrrrrrrrrrr EDDIE !!! feel sorry for him dont ya ??

[Carrot Top 947]

Needs to stop watching gangster movies.

[beelzebub 23,388]

Golly its fun when someone winds Eddie up. You almost find yourself waiting for him to explode..........and yet it never eventuates !!! shame

[bush demon 2,118]

I can't understand the lack of love for Eddie. Don't forget in the firmament, that Collingwood are our true and natural rivals, and as such are due a certain amount of respect. Now Kev Baby from Richmond/ Essendon, and lately from Sydney West F.C is the true villain who surely commissioned his foot soldiers to do a Dealey Plaza on Brad Green and The Snake, and then pinched our one-and-only young Tommy-turnover Scully.

That's a shame, cos I found it pretty damn funny!

bullsh*t.

Eddie is only making himself look like an idiot, and it's bloody entertaining.

This carry on will not make the slightest difference to how this situation plays out.

Melbourne did something even better - we successfully campaigned for 2 compensation picks for Scully.

[NorwoodDemon 20]

i wouldnt say 2 compensation picks is successful. we could have approached the AFL and argued that he was our number 1 pick and we've only have him for 2 yrs. There should of been something like a minimum of 50 games kinda rule so they cant poach young players from clubs who are rebuilding.

Nothing like changing the topic and incomprehension to win an argument!

I give up.

[NorwoodDemon 20]

??? ok sorry for expressing my opinion?

[dee-luded 2,959]

The way this numbskull carries on, IMO he forfeits the right to be called eddy & should be called just, 'McGuire'.
