He was not talking as the Collingwood club president. He was not at a Collingwood function or wearing his Collingwood cap. He was making a comment as a sports journalist and made as part of a discussion.Collingwood Crackerjack wrote:Clearly unEdifying for the President to get involved in something as unseemly and unrelated to our Club as this, others were quick to blow the whistle on her omission, don't need the club president adding to the fire

Caro was on air tonight saying that she has no grudge against Dusty. If this is the case and her lack of any votes was not her being vindictive it only further reinforces the fact that she has no clue about footy.
She had Ken Hinkley on air tonight and couldn't resist asking him if he would have allowed a player to stay on in Shanghai (Gazza). He deflected by saying that he doesn't comment on other teams players, only his own. Good response Ken. Caro fishing for controversy as usual. She never actually reports on footy. Just looks for all the crap going on around it. Muck raker. Don't care about her gender. Just a piss poor journalist when it comes to football.

I also must profess to being unaware that Ed was still in the journalism game as well

Being the Collingwood President does not keep Eddie in the lifestyle he enjoys.

Disagree with your view here. It's time for Ed to stop being one of the boys and to grow up. I love him as a president of our club but he's made a dick of himself before. I think Rudeboy summed it up pretty well some time ago when Rude described Ed's role on 3MMM or wherever as "demeaning" I continue to agree with him.Member 7167 wrote:He was not talking as the Collingwood club president.

Ed was being petty. Crackerjack hit the nail on the head irrespective of what role he was in at the time - doesn't pass the pub test - he's still President of our club and that doesn't stop because he was at Fox or 3MMM.
Ultimately, it's about perception and he knows this better than most (Maguire Media) but he can't seem to resist temptation.

I don't see the problem. Generally those making the biggest fuss about Ed's multiple hats are people who have a deep-seated dislike of the Collingwood football club. They have a vested interest in turning every molehill into an entire mountain range.
His high profile has been of great benefit to the club. It's a bonus that it also irks people like Caroline.

Yeah right, 'deep-seated dislikes' and 'vested interest' eh? Seems plausible...
