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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
