Stepping down immediately.

He has made a lot of mistakes when it comes his biases on a whole range of issues.

Nonetheless, it is a shame that someone who has spent 25 years in a volunteer capacity to make his club a success and made such a difference to football is going out on such a low note.

Sure he has feathered his own nest along the way but still he has contributed a lot on so many fronts.

    I agree with the sentiment. Unfortunately for Eddie he was a very poor listener.

    Say what you will about him.

    When we were on our knees, he gave us the gate takings for Queens Bday for more than 5 years in a row..

     

    But lets never forget his crowning moment!!

    Absolute witch hunt claims another victim. Don't dare make a mistake or be imperfect.

     

    Sad day.

    Well, at least C'wood now has some chance of developing a culture befitting the 21st century.

    Just one little slip-up and everyone piled on.

    ?

    Edit:  please turn on your sarcasm filter, everyone.  I thought the boggly-eyed-tongue-out face would be the giveaway!

    Nope, not even close. Made a massive misstep with Goodes, oversaw a club that was proven to be racist after that, and then called it ‘a proud day’. 

    He has lost his ability to read the room. They had no choice but to push him out.

    Its understandable that people will come for Eddie, he is a big boy, he is answerable for his mistakes. I Wonder when the people that he has helped, done a lot for, raised money for, made their life better will step up and go into bat for him. 

    Hope they do, because there will be lots of them.

    They've been going into bat for him over and over and over already.  There's only so far you can go on the plaudits for being the person sitting in the chair that decides who gets the goodies.

    Have Collingwood really been that much more generous than any other club, or have they just done a lot more publicity about it?

    Surprised it took this long. There would have been a queue of sponsors lining up at The Holden Centre demanding his resignation.

    That's what's got him in the end and Nike would have been at the front of the queue.

    Too many mistakes over too many years any one of which would have caused anyone other then Eddie to be sacked.

    Has cheapened footy with his numerous conflicts of interest as a caller and commentator and his uncontrolled mouth.

    No loss.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
