He is the best president by a long shot. 2nd is not even in the same vicinity.

Keeping up your your usual form line with yet another Pathetic & childish response to a post you don't like. Suffering Fools is not my strongest quality.
End dialog.
And yet like a fool you follow a propped up team with manufactured success (the AFL even admitted it cannot afford to let you drop down the ladder, what does that tell you?)
But I'm glad you ended your diatribe!
Do you always throw random capital letters into sentences?
I so love the pain the Lions supporters are in and Sydney also for that matter.
Is it strange that most of the hate is coming from the Northern state supporters?
Brisbane were gifted 3 premierships from the AFL, then it was Sydney's turn, though they were not good enough to make the most of it while it lasted.
You are aware that there are other clubs in the AFL and as much as the AFL Head Office cares about making your teams popular, so as they can get some bandwagon followers from the rugby to come and full a seat or two, if it wasn't for TV rights, your teams would be irrelevant.

It doesn't matter how well Collingwood drafted over the last few years.
You have Buckley as coach!
Pray to God Eddie doesn't sign his secret lover for another contract!

We wanted a second round pick so we could trade ours for Elliot Yeo and stay in.
We wanted Dom Sheed who was expected to last to about pick 10 or so.
We had good will for giving Collingwood the pick that got them Brodie Grundy for taking Sharrod off their hands, who at the time had been useless for us.
Collingwood get a shot at Scharenberg for giving up pick 31 and (allegedly) agreeing not to take Sheed.
Win for both parties.
Actually I hope he does. He built the list, now lets see what he can do with it. If in three years we are not fighting it out deep into September, then yep I will agree, let him go.
But with all the list changes, doesn't he deserve a chance to show whether it worked or not?
Or is this just another cheap shot at a Collingwood legend because you hate the club and cannot come up with a real point on the subject.

When I met Eddie he was very nice and polite, a true gentlemen. I also hear he is a tremendous family man as well.
Ya reckon Brisbane might have done the same thing with Beams? Glasshouses and stones..
Except the allocation of points isn't arbitrary. Of course the algorithms would be arbitrary to an extent but the point values certainly weren't decided on a whim.
What is it with you Sydney (and Brisbane) supporters and Eddie's weight? So many Collingwood-based threads feature posts about Eddie's weight "lol Eddie's fat", generally from Sydney and Brisbane supporters. I thought us Collingwood supporters were supposed to be the lowbrow ones, yet, here we are, while you insinuate that Eddie's going to kill himself without surgery. Nice one, you sure showed us, stay classy
Eddie killed something he never attached and isn't dead?
Seriously, there are things Eddie can be criticised for but some people don't have a whole going on upstairs and can't see the forest for the trees with Eddie.

There are things that have killed the father-son rule, but, Eddie and Collingwood aren't them.
Bidding for father-sons generally has killed it in a way. Why should other clubs have a say in something that keeps tradition flowing? It is also a shame that there is imposed rule on games played by the father too, certainly one set so high.
It's a shame for example that Mark Weideman didn't play enough games for example, as I am sure his son would rather keep the family name flowing through the club into a 3rd generation.

Eddie is a dead set legend. Wish he was the boss of my club.
