Eddie McGuire Steps Down Effective Immediately

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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
