What hard questions should he ask Scully that haven't already been asked 1000 times before already?

Respect to him for actually answering Tweets on the show, and didn't just look at ones that gushed praise on the show.
Looking at it now, certainly looks like it could be a good show.

i quite liked it. we've been crying out for an analytical, non-sensationalist show for years. now it looks like we might have it.
the only criticism i had was when he started to thank, i think sheeds, for coming on "the foo... for coming in tonight."

Promising start. Like all the other shows on currently (360, Insider, etc), it wont hit its straps until the real season starts and theres alot more to talk about.

Felt a bit Larry King/Piers Morgan-esque at times
Funny how the first and currently only video uploaded to YouTube of Eddies show is of the interview with Ricardo the F1 driver.

Why not send Eddie a list of questions you think he should have asked

I thought it was pretty good.
McGuire works best when he has an autocue to read from and hasno distractions from other 'hosts' stting next to him...so it looks like it will work.
The tweet read out by Ed about Jarrah's grandmother being 'intelligent' was pathetic though.
The poor woman couldn't put two words together and Ed asked her the same question 3 times...'how important is footy to Liam?"

I don't think he was saying that, just that you can't conclude much from somebody who you can't communicate with.
i thought it was good and it's great that eddie is back doing a footy show.
the footy show has been terrible ever since he left it

I don't mind Eddie when he sticks to the script and doesn't give his opinion on football matters. With that being said, I don't think I'll tune in every Sunday to watch his show.

Watching that pretty much shows why the Footy Show Sucks Now

Not automatically, no.
I like Eddie, but sometimes I struggle to handle him in high doses. Most likely the show's quality will improve over time, until then though, I'll stick to 'On the Couch' for my main source of 'intelligent' AFL talk on the telly.

I think he wants it to be the 'Four Corners' or 'Sunday' of the footy media world, and it would be great if it could be, however Eddie's presidency can only compromise that lofty ambition. He was attcked quite viciously this morning on SEN about the Liam Jurrah story, despite his piece not questioning at all Mebourne's actions and the piece being rather soft. Imagine the vitriol he would receive if he did actually probe into areas that some club officials would prefer not be explored.
It's just not feasible.

I really hope by 'On the Couch' you really mean 'Paul Roos'.

360 was the first time i'd heard the patrick smith interview from SEN.
patrick smith is a grumpy old man who is rapidly fading into irrelevance.
but bugger me if mcguire didn't sound like a petulant child - "well i am the president of the collingwood footy club so get over it."
no, justify yourself eddie - tell us why you did the right thing in taking an unsanctioned interview as a club president, or admit that you did the wrong thing.
it feels like a timewarp. one show, and eddie is already failing to deal with his conflict of interest.
the comparison with andrew krakour is apt. as would similar comparisons with heath shaw or alan didak be. can you imagine how much eddie would blow up about it if they went on 3aw giving unsanctioned interviews?
i can, because we've seen eddie's purple face before.
