DTM, you wouldnt probably have a Collingwood Footy Club to barrack for if not for Eddie saving the club from a bloody terrible financial situation mate. Read the history of what was happening to us before Eddie came in as President. Educate yourself about Collingwood DTM, like you do so well with new AFL bound draft kids. It will do you good mate. You can become a respected poster again.  |
Eddie has done a Fantastic Job up to 2010 but his last few seasons have not been as good and as die4pies said he did not piss money away on Pubs.
Done a Great Job |
Love your posts DTM but its very obvious that you didnt bother to even fully read my reply to you dude. You then got distracted by a divergent comment from die4pies...
I wrote: "you wouldnt probably have a Collingwood Footy Club to barrack for if not for Eddie saving the club from a bloody terrible financial situation mate."
So your point about the unfortunate pub deal was a moot one......
And I dont need unsolicited posts to advise me how to talk to you DTM, I treat you as I have treated every other poster since 2003 without any fear or favour. |

My contacts have indicated to me that in the next Collingwood & Westpac meeting (in approximately 2 weeks), the bank will raise the issue of "reputational" risk, given this weeks events.
There have been a couple of examples of large net worth individuals moving all their business away from Westpac in the last 2 days, citing Eddie & this weeks events, as the catalyst.
From what I hear, I can't say there is a push from Westpac for Ed to resign, but there is definite consternation. Would be an interesting meeting to attend.

Something nobody ever asks and the journalist in this case didn't bother to report is how were these comments delivered? Did Malthouse hold a press conference? Call up a talkback radio station? Or was he asked for his thoughts?
As the latter is by far the most likely situation, I don't see why you would automatically interpret this as having a dig when he was merely providing his honest view on the situation, undoubtedly at some journalist' request. Yes, perhaps he could have gone into bat for Eddie a little, but he's not obligated to.

And this is where the whole thing just becomes a total circus. Those who quit Westpac over this are probably just opportunistic scum looking for a good excuse to cut ties.
Dude said the wrong thing, sincerely apologised, got roundly humiliated and is now doing the requisite education programme or whatever. Move. On.

David, agree.
I find it amusing that a bank throws "reputational" risk around. They (ie banks) generally aren't model corporate citizens.
The reality of these people moving their business, is probably far more nuanced than simply what Eddie said, but it shows the level of nervousness the bank has for this issue.
Apparently, there is some additional leverage that WBC has, because, from what I have been told, they have prepaid their sponsorship and apparently have the opportunity to recall funds and the deal in circumstances like these!

Everyone is shocked about this, why wouldn't Malthouse be shocked?
Eddie apologised (initally a bit clumsily) but he got it right.
As David noted Malthouse was having his club presser when he was asked.
He didn't make a separate presser just to slam Eddie (his daughters can do that!!)

Unlike you they are not a bunch of gullible naive people DTM.....
They did the right thing by Eddie as all reasonable people will except for the stupid bloody Eddie haters and bashers among the media, here at Nick's and in society.
Dont know WTF is wrong with you lately Dave. You have gone from being a great positive and passionate Collingwood poster to a silly clown resembling Spain..  |
Unlike the board DTM didn't piss $20m of member's money up against the wall on two dud property investments.
Would a board of directors hand picked by Ed kick him out? Unlikely |
Get over it die4pie. You and 1970 are rejoicing behind the scenes and now using every ploy possible to undermine Eddie further. Its a brave man who attacks his adversary at his weakest moment. Grow a set. You are better than this. |
Couldnt agree more mate. Spot on. The not so hidden agendas and dog whistling here is worthy of Andrew Bolt....
I shall email Eddie and ask him NEVER to lick the boots of those who kick him while he is down 
Eddie will come out of this much stronger, better and indeed wiser. A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him when he was down....  |

I would laugh if they had a comment from "Mr Goodes two shoes" directly afterwards....   That would be very funny... |

Yeah, right on cue, I heard the miserable old coot on the car radio, taking a big swing at eddie. Bloody vengeful old fart, cannot get on with life, cannot accept that it was HE who walked out on eddie, the club, and broke a contract. Madhouse, you wont do anything of note with the Scum, it will end in misery baby, ala Pagan.

I think what he did was Terrible what he did and I think he stuffed up the MM and Bucks thing |
So one slip of the tongue wipes out all the good that Eddie has done for our club and the years of effort that Eddie has made for our benefit.
Have you ever said anything or behaved in a manner that you have regretted later. In these circumstances do you have an expectation that your family, friends and associates will show some level of understanding and support for you. Or, should they use the opportunity to undermine and humiliate you further.
The decision to move MM on was made when MM was flat and prior to him having won the flag. Unfortunately Eddie didn't have a crystal ball handy so that he could see the future. The contracts were signed and there was no going back.
As for Buckley, only time will tell what sort of coach he will develope into. MM was a great coach and gave us a premiership but it took him 10 years to get there. There are a lot of "ifs" and "buts" if you truly analyse the results and possibilities. Few AFL couches have this tenure and hence this opportunity. |
Member you need to know that:
Not one member of the hack media has ever said the wrong thing or had a brain fart, not a single one.
Not one other AFL President or anyone at the AFL has ever done this either.
Not one of the posters here who attack Eddie relentlessly has ever said anything in their sorry lives that they regret.
Not once has Mr Goodes two shoes or any of his indigenous mates ever heard a racist comment emitted from one of their own folks directed at anyone else or if they did, made as big a deal out of it.
Not one person has had the balls to show the same kind of leadership Eddie showed last Friday night when the issue regarding the little girl blew up.
Not one person outside Collingwood (or even among our Eddie bashers here) has been totally fair with their assessment of what actually happened.
Not one person has been able to rise above the sad old cutting a tall poppy down syndrome.
Eddie should yield to none and show the usual courage that he shows.
The other pack of contagious finger pointing hypocrites should go to hell... 
Long term Posters like us will continue to barrack hard for Collingwood as always and stick together side by side as we loyalists tend to do.

Who was it that called Milne "a bloody rapist" and then lied his arse off about it? Please remind me Piesnchess.... At least Eddie did not run away from the truth like a scared little sheep.
Geez mate, the blatant double standards set this week by numerous damn hypocrites have hit a brand new record.... |
