His reign might come to an end but I bet he still leaves a few strings attached. Hopefully he will just go and we have an independent candidate without any Collingwood baggage

Thanks for your service Eddie. However, it’ll be nice to have a change.

 

[AndrewShawble]

This is excellent news.

A new era beckons.

 

[Trickster]

Geez, we'll find out sooner than expected if things are better without him as people have called for. Has he endorsed anyone?

Edit: And yes, thanks for your 22 years of service Ed!

 

[Shade]

I cant believe it hes actually going willingly anyway 99 percent of us think the time is right to go in a new direction

Thanks for the memories Ed you have done the CFC proud

Club will be stuffed in 10 years time and you will all beg for Eddie to come back

 

[Ron]

Thanks for what you have done for the club Eddie.
I think a lot of Pies supporters don't remember how bad the club was going on and off the field before Eddie arrived, and he has been at the helm of turning that around.

It hasn't always been smooth sailing, but I am very thankful for what Eddie has done.

That sounds scary, a shame we can’t plan for him to live forever.

 

[Temploar]

Fantastic news.

Thank you for everything Eddie, genuinely.

But you've grown old and stale. Time for fresh faces, new ideas.... And take Buckley out the door with you.

The mess of 2020 will take a long time to forgive, at least for me anyway.

 

[Harry O]

Well beyond his used by date. Pity members no longer have a say in who gets elected to board.

 

[GN272]

This just increased your chances for a flag in 2022 and beyond .....

 

[AndrewShawble]

Well beyond his used by date. Pity members no longer have a say in who gets elected to board.

Hopefully he implements set terms of those on the board on the way out.

 

[Ingy]

No one will fight for our rights as effectively as he has.

Opposition fans will be rejoicing.

Including the trolls on here who have been unrelentingly campaigning for this for months

Interesting thought, IF we win a flag in 2021, will those unhappy about the 2011 handover want him to stay on?

We aren't winning the flag next year mate.

You don’t even know that.

I support Ed stepping down, just don’t support him staying for the 2021 season, particularly as a decision needs to be made on Buckley’s future.

Thanks for your service. Transformed the club during his time in charge but 22 years is plenty.

Hopefully we get some renewal across the entire board

Were WB in 2016, Rich in 2017, WCE in 2018?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Thank f**king Christ.

2022 looks exciting now. New president, new coach and the number 1 draft pick

 

[magpies42]

Don’t really get people calling for his head the way they do...would love to see who the replacement is. Change doesn’t guarantee success, we can definitely get worse!

 

[migz]

Looks like Buckley will be gone with him next year too. Eddie's done good for the club but the time has come and we all know buckley was never going anywhere with him in charge.

Looks like we might finally see some positive change.

Eddie needs to be 100% out of the decision making process on Buckley’s future.
