I remember the old Vic Park, and the state of the club at the time you took over. I'll always be grateful for your efforts over the last two decades.
Floreat Pica! |
We had to leave Vic Park, but the last game there was just about my saddest day involving football. Not because we were not competitive on that day, but because after years of fantastic memories at our home, it was over. I don't feel like we have a home any more. That was part of a move into blandness, where we became just like everyone else. |
Mate i loved Vic Park too, was a teenager when went there for many games, heaps of matches, so many wonderful memories, like the day we set fire to the Dons floggers, i was right behind that, the ground was like sardines, think it was bout 1972, i do recall i was very cool then, real long hair, tight arse jeans, R M Williams rodeo boots, body shirt, cravat, pirate belt, yeh cool dude.  But we had to leave, we outgrew the old gal, sure we won heaps of games there, but it was kinda like the Cats now, we were not used to the G, and come Finals, we got pantsed usually, so we had to get too the ground where the big Finals are played. And for more members too. comfort, etc, we had too move, sad, but was necessary, we had to modernise. We still play some games there, like VFL and AFLW, but on that note, does the VFL still exist, or did covid virus lead to its demise. ?

Like many of us more senior supporters here, I suspect that we remember too well the dire situation Collingwood FC was in when Eddie took the helm. He navigated a way through very bleak times to develop a powerhouse club, underwritten by record sponsorship deals with the biggest multi-national organisation in the world. Eddie clearly had a vision for the club that was brought to fruition and culminated in the ultimate prize - Premiership glory. Despite how things ended Ed should always be remembered for his massive contribution to the success of this club and for that, I will be eternally grateful.

I dont believe Eddie is racist and you can tell by his open mindedness and just his general nature. Yes he said some things that were not right. He is human. I believe in seeing the good in people and giving people a second chance. Eddie has done too much good in this world and Im pretty sure he will sleep well at night once the dust has settled.
One thing for sure is true, if you keep searching for the bad in a person you will eventually find it.
If we are going to get through racism and discrimination and sexism and etc etc you will need a forgiving attitude and lots of understanding both black and white, no one is better than the other person.
Good luck Eddie and hopefully you will be back soon helping people .
