Maybe it was because it would interrupt his posting regime? That Patton. Always thinking about sex. Jesus!

Eddie won't go until they've put up a statue of him. No joke.

Every club wishes they had a president as effective as Eddie. Every club also dreads having a president as impulsive and ill-disciplined as Eddie.

All true. And in the 12 years after that, couldn't control his big mouth and got himself and his club in hot water, multiple times, that would have finished anyone else without a media pulpit to cast stones from.

He'll consult his sons who will tearfully urge him to continue, and, regrettably, against his better judgement, Eddie will continue in the role.

Late to the party, but this is an excellent pick up. Crikey, maybe we'll do a Richmond after all, and swamp the coach in a mire of talent so thick, even he can't feck it up

Hats off

AFL: "C'mon guys, get this deal over with. It's been days and days." Eddie: "YOU'RE THE ONES WHO TOLD US WE WERE OVER AND TO CUT PLAYERS PRONTO OR ELSE. THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" AFL: *sigh* "Oh all right ... another week and that's it." Eddie: "YOU'VE CREATED THIS DISASTER. AND NOW YOU'RE MAKING THE GREAT COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB LOOK STUPID. WHICH MEANS YOU'RE MAKING ME LOOK STUPID. HOW DARE YOU. OH, THAT'S IT ... I'M GETTING ON MMM TO TEAR STRIPS OFF YOU. AND EVERY QUESTION ON MILLIONAIRE WILL BE ABOUT YOU GIL."

If the AFL ignore Tassie, at grass roots level at the least, the pipeline of support to the top level (players, supports, $$$) will dry up. But that's the way it's looking.

The AFL don't give a flying rat's tossbag about areas that already play Aussie Rules. They're in a war against rugby league (which RL has only recently woken up to) and are hellbent on infiltrating enemy territory. Hence GWS. To a lesser extent the Gold Coast as North screwed up their carefully laid plans there. That's how it will happen, if it happens.

His brother is the brains behind the entire McGuire outfit. Eddie is the front man & used car salesman. Frank is the thinker.

This is talking the house down in preparation for training the house down. It's like a pre-season for pre-season. Actions, Max. We're not interested in any words, unless they involve me winning Tattslotto.

This could be the first time in his career that Dawsey has been compared to Buddy.

Chris Dawe used to get to the right spots too Hard to think of a top KPF who can't hold a mark
