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

Featured Replies

I wish Eddie would shut up and go away.

 

Eddie's a f******* a******* and now that Malthouse is retired, is the biggest hypocrite in the game.

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?.

" All of the above." Eddie's like a shrapnel bomb. When he goes off anyone or anything in the vicinity cops it.

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.

Yes, funny how some things can escape his ever watchful eye. Eddie, steward of the game ...

 

Eddie's right. Roos would be good because the last thing Carlton need is another ex Collingwood coach.

The last thing any of us need is another ex Collingwood coach!!


No one want to coach Carlton, it's all Pratts fault white knights make clubs weak, really it's the supporters fault the same supports who where wetting himself when they got mick are the same ones now saying they hate him, and now are saying they are happy to see him gone, the days if cheque book footy are gone, everyone has the same cap, them getting judd was the worst thing they done, Kennedy and pick 3 was too high a price, it is the best example of put all your eggs in one basket, and the AFL allowed them to go outside the cap to get him.

I'm sure that after he's done from Melbourne, Roos will need a good 2-3 years of sitting on the ground, legs crossed, rocking back and forth, trying to forget the preceding years.

 

Maybe Eddie was trying to drum up a crowd for QB

Had we beat Port we would have gotten 75k there, but as usual we didn't hold up our end of the bargain

Perhaps we might crack 60k thanks to the Hogan factor


On a wins per $ basis, Neeld would be a far better option than Roos.

I'm not sure what Roos has been doing for the past 20 months, but I won't be complaining if Carlton are still in the bottom 4 after 20 months under a new coach.

What any of this has to do with Eddie is anyone's guess.

don't they say if the dcap Fitz wear it. got around the cap, but still hung themselves out to dry. & juddster goin' around demanding he sees the clubs books, why, so he knows how much to charge the blues, squeezing out all other suitors. just deserters juddster.

amazing how the blue boys don't get banged up over the 'Kreuzer Cup' thrown match, way back then.

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.

Biffen I'm really enjoying your recent posts on multiple threads. Keep up the good work.

Ps I was a young kid standing in the forward pocket at Glenferrie Rd when Biffen, Bourke and Hudson crashed that tragic day so many years ago. It wasn't my fault!!!

It's a damn shame, isn't it?

To be fair, if Carlton had kept that pick 3, they'd quite probably have drafted Cale Morton with it. They wouldn't have known it at the time, but there's a good chance it would have been worthless to them. West Coast taking Masten was controversial at the time.

I don't reckon Kennedy for Judd is that terrible a trade.


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.

Love it!

Eddie is a bloody good game promoter and he's just adding some spite to Monday's clash, stirring the pot before the big game...

Wanna-be macho types do it all the time...

Bring it on!

Works both ways. Judd locked up a huge chunk of salary cap which prevented them from getting other good players. Opportunity cost?

But then Judd is a known good (great) player and brought hope, excitement, members and sponsors. All things we'd love to come to our club.

In years to come, pub denizens will have many enjoyable hours arguing the rights and wrong of that trade.

Love it!

Or! He's a arseh*le with a big mouth who lacks the self discipline to keep it shut!

Of course he's that too! But his mindless mutterings will draw an extra two or twenty to the game on Monday and we're getting the gate.

I say rave on Eddie!

like he raved on over adam goodes?

I don't follow Eddie, what did he say? :unsure: Hope he didn't call him King Kong again...

BTW I did actually agree with Ted's evaluation of Eddie.

 

Would demonlanders trade hogan for fyfe?

On his radio show this morning he was talking about gambling in the AFL. It was an excellent segment - except that gambling advertising wasn't mentioned once. It's a pretty big hole to leave in the conversation.

They were talking about players and punters getting help etc, but nothing about how the AFL condones this behaviour with the constant adds and odds splashed at us on telecasts and at the ground.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
