Eddie McGuire really needs to heed the advice of the late cricket legend and commentary icon Richie Benaud. Benaud's mantra was to put one's brain into gear before speaking. McGuire needs to take a leaf out of the Great Man's book.

Here's the first part:
COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire privately attacked the Sydney Swans for damaging his career because they had publicly criticised him for racially vilifying Adam Goodes.
�You and Horse have f ... ing ruined my career,� an enraged McGuire said to then Swans chairman Richard Colless at an AFL club bosses meeting in Canberra in 2013.
The heated exchange came just days after McGuire had unreservedly apologised for jokingly likening the dual Brownlow medallist Goodes to King Kong during his radio program.
McGuire said Colless had told him in a telephone conversation, prior to the Swans� press conference alongside coach John Longmire, that he would make sure that everyone knew the Collingwood�s president�s work with the indigenous community.
McGuire said the Swans boss�s failure to do so led to the confrontation.
�I was still coming to grips with being totally misrepresented and I had spoken to Richard and he said �yeah I�ll make sure that everyone knows your history on indigenous relations�,� McGuire said.
So the swans ruined Eddie's career after HE made a racist joke about Goodes. Yeah that makes a lot of sense! I suppose he wants an apology now.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
I wish Eddie would just bugger off !!!!
I hope everyone going to the game tomorrow night is prepared to continue flying the flag. You need to be loud and proud and ready to counter the Magpie mob.
And a suggestion from my old Dad, could you please make noise if we are losing not just when we are in front. That is when the team needs a rev up.
