Eddie is an pretentious douchebag with a sole purpose of destroying anything that could be considered a disadvantage to collingwood. He goes around to contracted players and future draftees offering them secret deals to join collingwood, then goes on a public outcry that Northern State teams have some sort of advantage. He is a complete contradiction of himself and the only thing that is bigger than his mouth is his gut. Will be a glorious day when he is finally out of the AFL sphere.

Eddie is Collingwood president, he doesn't hold a role in the AFL administration. He can lobby on behalf of Collingwood (and other clubs), but he can't change any rules or laws.

So what the **** are you talking about?

I think you've been whacked a bit about the rant so I'll ask you to outline cases where secret deals have been offered by Eddie.
As for your academies, Hawthorn admin and Clarkson have spoken out about them as well. Clarko asked why the avid clubs can't have them as well?
 
I heard Eddie was the one who framed Jake Carlisle because Jake chose St Kilda.

He also set up Hirdy, pushed the "Go Home 5" from Brisbane and had his players on HGH for the Grand Final replay of 2010!!!

Honestly, the bloke just gets vocal about things he wants changed to help his club. Unless you are winning flags left and right like the Cats and Hawks you should want a president that fights just as hard for your club!
 
Eddie isn't my favourite person in the AFL media by a long shot. He has said some real douchey things and obviously would love the league to be changed to the VFL again.

But come on, he is a businessman and a successful one. He knows how to play the real game as this sport is essentially....a business! Running a club is now just running a business. He gets shit done and knows how to do it so well, and if he bends the rules a bit...welcome to the exciting real world of business. He is hated, but dammit if he was your club's President you wouldn't complain a bit.
