Eddie McGuire: Paul Roos "obvious choice" to fix Carlton

Featured Replies

Posted

Did anyone see this bizarre tirade on Fox post match tonight?

McGuire interjected no less than 4 times between a heated debate between Hall and Maclure when discussing the next Carlton coach. Apparently the choice for Carlton is "obvious" according to Eddie, he says the AFL need to put Roos in place.

Says he's the perfect coach for the AFL to assign to all the basketcase teams in the league, because they'll just keep forking out $1.5m a year for him to do it.

Not sure what to make of this one but we know Eddie doesn't do anything without an agenda. Is he trying to destabilise us or was it just a veiled dig at the AFL bailing out the crap clubs?

He wasn't even correct in saying the AFL are footing the bill for Roos.

 

I wish Eddie would talk up more some of the more insidious and destructive cancers that are damaging our game like for example drug abuse in football.

I personally think Nathan Buckley would be a great fit for Carlton. I know he's got a few things on his plate at the moment, but I'm sure the AFL could just step in and assign him to the Carlton role without too much destabilisation or trouble to his existing club...

Roosy, why would he want it.

just little e'd everywhere, trying to get under our skin, under the bluebaggers skin, & under mnm's skin as well, sort of rubbing it in, & the fact it's e'd, adds salt into the cuts.

but he's just really a frustrated old-man, with a permanent brewers droop, is little e'd.

maybe they could teach the cloke'n'dagger, to kick proper. it seems no one wants to be around e'd & his butler. just ask young beams.

irrelevant is becoming e'd. e'd, is becoming irrelevant.

Paul Roos would be a good fit for any club in the league.

Eddie isn't silly, he is just using the bail out excuse to get ahead of the discussion.

If Eddie can drum up some outrage about a bail out before it happens - then it's unlikely Carlton will see any AFL money.
That would be a win for Eddie (Collingwood).


Shame he's contracted to another club hey Eddie?

Paul Roos does not need or want the Carlton job.

He wants a life style change once he finishes coaching and an involvement at the Dees during the season when he's not in Hawaii.

Eddie is talking through his oversized cloaca.

I don't think Paul Roos has any interest in being a modern day Winston Wolfe.

Eddie probably has a point though, Roos for 2/3 years with a succession plan would be a good fit for Carlton as they are eerily similar to us back in 2013. It's really too bad that we got him.

 

I sometimes wonder if McGuire has a cocaine habit the way he just blabs on about rubbish he thinks makes perfect sense.


Hope we smash em more now on Qbday

I hope that's true, but I saw him say recently when he's done at the end of 2016 he's going to be done with footy.

Is he allowed to talk about stuff going on at his own club?

No

Oh I think sit is quite simple. Queens Birthday is coming up next week and Eddie maybe is getting a little bit worried about a match he probably pencilled in as a certainty. It certainly won't be, particularly if we win today.

Obviously trying to take Roosy's eye off the ball. Fat chance!!!

Or trying to get an ill-considered bite back that favourite son can use for motivation.

Again - Fat chance!!!

(as long as Chris Dawes stays away from any microphones)

I hope that's true, but I saw him say recently when he's done at the end of 2016 he's going to be done with footy.

That's probably because of all the energy he is using to coach Melbourne, he will need the rest of his life to relax and recover!

Hope we smash em more now on Qbday

Yep - at first I thought "Jackson needs to come out and slam Eddie over this" but then I thought, "Nah stuff that, better to just remain quiet and smash them next week"


FFS.

Fat bogan [censored] from Broady with your faux intelligence .

I've met people who start to think they are Kerry Packer once they work for them.

It's hilarious.

I call it Packer by association.Half of Sydney has it too.

Shows mental frailty .

Shitteatter.

Typical. Now that Carlton have hit the skids the armchair experts like Eddie come out and start airing their opinion on matters that don't concern them.

I sometimes wonder if McGuire has a cocaine habit the way he just blabs on about rubbish he thinks makes perfect sense.

certainly gets the whiteline fever when footy comes into frame.

Go on e'd have a crack....

Well that would be too big an ask but Eddie who seems to have loud opinions on everything tends to avoid this the biggest elephant in the room even in general and holistic terms.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
