Same for the board and the administration.
Can't get it right all the time, or with the speed that we all want. There are things we are working on that I had in my head the day I became president.
That's why the job is never finished.
More than happy to answer questions with the caveat that sometimes I just can't give answer or details for strategic reasons.
Not looking for cheer squads or to get my head kicked in just good ideas and positive criticism.
And I do read these pages most days. My wife says I need to get another job!!!

Ed,
We all say things we regret or are said in the heat of the moment. That's part of the passion for our great club.
I remember you saying before you took over as President that you stood in the outer & thought the Army had lost its faith or words to that effect. I thought the same thing, even going so far as, is it saveable?
You & the people you have appointed have turned this club around. You are building us a list that can takes to the Holy Grail (s). You are doing the smart things by using our capital to get players like Clarke & Dyas, the NSW Scholarship scheme, full time recruiters in WA & I'm sure we'll see S.Africa Rookies soon.
I've been a member for 18 yrs, my father was a member for 30 odd(in those days you had to stand in front of guys like "Nuts" & say why the club should have you as a member) , I was taken to the footy at 18 months old in a B&W pram with B&W streamers. Gee, our garage door was painted B&W.
I love this club & I'm extremely happy with your leadership!
Floreat "effin" Pica.
P.S: As a lasting legacy could you get Paul Stoddart to build a TD at VP. LOL

I will lay the first brick! and then the next 100,000 for nothing.
Just get me a permit from Yarra City Ed and I am away. 
Duplex the Ryder and connect it to a duplexed Rush. New three level Social Club on the corner of Lulie and Turner with walking bridge access to VP Station. Plastic buckets all round. Extend Bob Rose covered seating and add two more levels for Legends and Captains members. Ground capacity 60,000. Just a lazy $400m will do the job and don't forget I am laying the bricks for free.

I don't mind the thankyous, I just think it is tad pathetic when some people have a whinge about everything, but the second Ed turns up they go all ga ga, and suddenly change their stance. |
no a truer words spoken joel. it's bloody funny. all of a sudden, "yes eddie, no eddie, three bags full eddie" from those who bag the tripe out of him on here regularly. |
and then they lack the courage to post their abuse in public and would rather pm their tripe to you.
Those of you that think that turning up to the footy 6 months of the year outwieghts the the work that people put in down the club are just plain delusional, some people spend hundreds of hours a month supporting Our Club off their own back, no thanks or asked, no cash just out of their own passion but somehow that means less than just turning upto a game where the hardest thing you have to do is fit your fat arse in the seat.
if you softcocks have something to say to me then do it in public or keep it to yourselves.

Bit late to the party, been away this week - but my 2c worth.
I have no problem playing all our away games on the same ground, on our terms, and getting paid to do so. Home away from home suits me fine.
Either way, it will be beneficial, Im sure.
I do wonder over the Port Adelaide black and white uniform allowance though......Assume it was the lesser of two evils in some way... They got theirs this year though, bloody imposters.
All the best Eddie. |

I have emailed the Club today.....about the purchase of 30 Football caps , I want to send to an orphange in Namibia. I hope that the Club can help out, in a discount way.................it will spread the name of Collingwood on the African continent.

I got a job for ya Ed, Export Co-ordinator at Dicks Company. I'd be your boss. Close to your former home too and even better, you get to take $$ from a carlton person.

Don't want to be a wet blanket, and while it's kind of a nice gesture, surely Namibian orphans are more in need of food and blankets than football caps?
Having said that, I haven't contributed much to Namibian orphans recently... and once again don't take this the wrong way. I just wonder if there's better ways of doing it.
Perhaps a few footballs would be more appropriate?

WE have organized blankets,food, exercise books, pens, colouring books, story books,towels, soap, toys,games and money........all to be stuffed into the Xmas sacks that we have made.
The footy caps and trinkets from the football club are just the icing on the cake. The kids love baseball caps. Ours they will love also.
Oh, and I personally bought some footballs!!

You should have gone to the AFL themselves.
After recent events the appear to have plenty of cash to splash, I'm sure they could have supplied footballs to encourage the expansion of the game. |

Surely the afl would have to form a sub-committee to discuss the proposal, have a lunch or two to talk it over.................
great work Kam, bring back some photos
