Collingwood boss Eddie McGuire makes a blueMagpie president Eddie McGuire's comments on breakfast radio were disrespectful, unnecessary and not helpful to Carlton or Collingwood that meet on Saturday. JakeNiallTHEAGE As a Carlton supporter I have no absolutely no issue with what he's saying, if the club isn't exploring who is the best person to coach the club from 2020 & beyond then that would be extremely disappointing especially with the question marks surrounding Bolton. JakeNiallTHEAGE Why don’t the AFL call him out?He can’t talk as two people. He is president of Collingwood or he is not. It is embarrassing that the president of an AFL club has his own radio show. JakeNiallTHEAGE Again? FFS!
