Eddie has played audio of Tony Shaw saying he would drown Caro on AW, in front of Caro.
Thins is just looking more and more like an Eddie stitch up

@mrpford @RossAndJohn not defending EM at all but Caro laughed with Tony Shaw when he said it on Monday.

Regardless of your opinion of Caroline Wilson Ed's been in the game long enough to know there are jokes between mates and jokes said in the media..
This was one to be kept between mates..
Poor form.

So it seems the biggest issue here is actually plagiarism. 3aw or triple m have stolen the others material!!

As discussed Ed has long term experience and form, just should know better.
When in doubt leave it out.
If you must say things, a little tact goes a long way.
And whilst many don't like Ms Wilson, there are many better ways to indicate this.
Anyway, learn from this, move on....
and You bet Caro would love to go to Town on Eddie as she Hates Him but I bet when she bashes Eddie people be on her Side
She is far too smart for Eddie. She knows what to say and how to say it.

I agree, he should.
The problem for him doing that though is that he'll then get labelled as a self confessed misogynist that'll follow him for years, just a the Goodes / racist jibe has.

Two wrongs don't make a right. All involved should be copping heat over this including Wilson now that the AW comments have been released as well!

Pauline Hanson has now weighed in on this and come to Ed's support ...

Yes, but "Do the crime, do the time"
It will blow over like all these things do, hopefully with some lessons learned (again)

Not sure that is going to be helpful?

So she has offended herself!!
Take Caro out of the equation, is it appropriate to make comments like this in the media, where young kids are listening? Young kids who copy what they hear and learn attitudes from the media.
It's ok for us to understand that it's a joke of sorts, but does an impressionable 11yo need to hear it?

Oh and btw Neale Daniher himself did the same joke about Eddie staying under the water. Anyone outraged on Eddies behalf?

The variety of responses above, and all over the radio this morning illustrate the complexity of this issue. No one is more media-savvy than Eddie, and he should have known better than to indulge in half-cut pub banter on air. He is too powerful, too influential to have his comments fly under the radar for long.
What I find most objectionable is that he's again exposed Collingwood to ridicule when we're at our most vulnerable, with member numbers down, our coach under siege and the team stuttering towards the lower end of the ladder. There's no point saying his remarks have nothing to do with the club: he's the face, the voice and the heart of Collingwood.
When you're in the media you have to be able to take it as well as dish it out, and Caro deserves to be challenged; but someone above made the point that these interchanges were bullying, and that's how I read and hear it. They were playing the woman, not any particular issue. The problem with Eddie is that his mind is so quick it too often runs ahead of his judgement.
I love Eddie. He's been immense for the club and I don't see how we could effectively replace him. But I wish he'd put a rein on his tongue.
