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

[SaberFang 7,151]

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.

[John Crow Batty 8,880]

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.

[Chook 15,023]

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.

[KingDingAling 3,758]

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).

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Shame he's contracted to another club hey Eddie?

[chook fowler 19,694]

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.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,839]

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.

[McQueen 17,867]

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

[Yossarian 1,820]

Think he's just trying to distract everyone from this:

'Buckley back assistants for Blues job'

Hope we smash em more now on Qbday

[What 18,810]

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?

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)

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!

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"

[daisycutter 29,892]

mcchins comments are so sheedyesque

don't give him any oxygen

[Biffen 12,949]

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.

[Adzman 2,154]

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.

[dee-luded 2,959]

certainly gets the whiteline fever when footy comes into frame.

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

[John Crow Batty 8,880]

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.

Roos you could argue actually IS the obvious choice as he's a 'whole of club' coach.

Fortunately he's ours for at least one more year!
