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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
