Should there be a minutes silence at the Grand final for Ed the ego if he cannot attend...?




Perhaps if he had simply ticked the box seeking your acknowledgment and agreement for the mandatory 14-day quarantine, instead of seeking exemption for his planned 'media commitments' - he would of been approved...?

One things for sure, there’s going to be a distinct lack of fizz at the GF this year without Eddies presence.

When did he say he was seeking to avoid the 14 day quarantine period? As he pointed out he could go to Tasmania for the next 14 days then fly straight into Perth if he wanted to. It's just political grandstanding by McGowan.

I missed the start. (It looks like it's gunna be repeat at 1:30 am on ch 95). Did Carro go hard on the fat, entitled crunt for trying to scam his sons in? Talk about "rules for thee but not for me". What a Knut.

 

[Warsaw]

lmao, the throwaway line about his boys in uni who are producers on his Nine shows, had me rolling

The decision wasn't made by the premier.

If there was any grandstanding, it was by McGuire.

At the risk of protracting a debate, Ed rarely says anything that is not in Ed's favour..!

As he has clearly stated, his intention upon his arrival in WA was to undertake several media commitments including; Millionaire Hotpot, a possible pre-GF Footy Show, TV promotional work with WA tourism and other.

How the hell would Ed be able prepare and/or undertake any of this being locked up in a hotel room for 14 days..? This makes his Tassie suggestion even sound more ridiculous - but that's what he excels at, spin..!!!

And the 'rumour' of him declaring his two sons (both Uni students) as 'employees of JamTV', would be at the very least be a false declaration..!

 

[hawkman]

Just imagine the complaining if Collingwood were a chance of being in there as well.

This is a Grand Final. They normally do a full day broadcast from the MCG carpark, interviewing past players, fans going to the game, have competitions etc. Why wouldn't the same apply for Optus Stadium?

Surely Adam Papalia, Garry Lyon and Matthew Pavlich can manage the 'on-site' stuff?

 

[Beerfish]

Fair enough if his sons were rejected, but McGuire should be allowed to go.

Nah. **** him.

 

[brutus76]

Eddie you're not important any more = call it from the studio like everyone else does who isn't actually present at the venue.

 

[Stottzy]

Have we been pronouncing Daniher wrong? Lyon kept saying "Danihar"

Just like the Super Bowl, the Grand Final is not about the fans or the locals. It's a massive party for the establishment, the sponsors, the league boffins etc. All the schmoozing that is done at the myriad of events the will be held. McGuire in a big member of the boys club. Of course he has to be there. Its the whole point of it. He can do his job from the studio, but what fun is that? The entitlement of the AFL and its media...

I'll never forget when I watched it and they were bringing the superbowl trophy onto the ground through the crowd of journos. All of them started touching it, which I found strange, but who from Australia did I spot putting his hand on it... Hutchy.

Hopefully we never let the media think they're that special.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

I almost spat out my wine when I heard him say his boys are producers on his shows ffs, Ed’s sense of entitlement has reached epic levels.

I find it strange that any AFL journo is aloud in from the east states. I mean, isn't this why we have journos and commentators in Perth? Why is it essential that Victorian pundits get in? I can understand channel 7 as they are broadcasting, but don't see it necessary for anyone else.

Just using Eddie to make it look like they're doing their job.

Are you hinting at a Zempilas-Gossage led commentary?

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Lyon this morning on SEN said he went through the process.

Clearly the WA govt's hoops were not large enough for McGuire's hubris enlarged noggin to fit through. Good on them.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Just stick to hosting your game show Ed.

I mean, I'd just ask Cometti if he wants to do one last one and do it alone.

So, they didn't make much of deal on the show about Eddie.
Does Fox have any footy guys in the west?

I am glad someone else noticed that. Possibly Lyon is getting it wrong and no one has corrected him?
