      All else aside, does anyone believe Eddie is a good commentator? Tim Watson once said something like this on SEN "It's not that Eddie is president of Collingwood which makes me wish he'd step back from calling games, it more that he's not much good at it."
      Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

            Straw that broke the camel's back for Eddie was when it dawned they got dudded on the Jesse White deal.

            (I'm only posting this for levity, I've got no ill will towards Jesse).

            Can also say I'm enjoying the direct comments from Andrew Pridham on twitter. While I love the theatre, I think his position as president warrants him backing off a bit in that medium.

              I am expecting (well not, actually) a separate apology from Eddie towards the Swans this week. A few weeks ago he railed against the injustices of the draw when he pointed out that the Swans only had two further games against top 8 sides between then and the finals (compared to, for example) four more for his beloved Pies. Of course, he failed to mention that the Swans had already played 7 matches against other top 8 sides, compared to the Pies' 4. Now, due to the onfield ineptitude of his Pathetic Pies, Essendon have leapt up into the top 8, thereby causing our remaining draw to instantly become that much tougher...

                        oh ! Steady Eddie is continuing his attack on the Swans

                        On Channel 9 ( Morning show ) he ranted on in his own defence, stating ?." what more do the Swans want ??a 2 goal start every quarter !!!

                        He repeated our so called ADVANTAGE with the COLA but failed to mention the following?.

                        Removal of either trades or retirements to free up our salary cap to acquire Buddy "within " the rules ?its called LIST MANAGEMENT !!!

                        He prattled on about the Academy saying he wanted equality for all clubs, but failed to mention?.

                        The academy was introduced for long term development of AFL players in the North as opposed to Southern States where the game is part of a staple diet.

                        And whilst on equalisation he failed to mention?.

                        His appalling comment about Adam Goodes

                        I am so happy that his club is slipping into mediocrity as our club continues to grow on all fronts

                        Well done Essendon !

                        Eddie?don't take your disappointments out on us?.just improve your own lot if you can

                          Yet every year the draw is massively biased towards his club. Would love to see how many times Collingwood travelled interstate

                            White was alright :-/

                                White is performing exactly as he did at the Swans for many years.....frustratingly inconsistent, at times good, mostly not.

                                Not to mention list clogger Armstrong.

                                It's a D- for their recruiting department.
