Couple of the players are hot too

No chance. Womens sport is shit.

He's a complete piece of shit and the perfect leader of his club

<p>God, the TV "celebrities" have too much exposure over here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the main "TV People" should be recognised as some of the lowest forms of life in the planet. Why should we take notice of what they say, place importance on what they say and let them define what society is all about?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That Caroline Wilson (another TV person) is milking this all the way to the bank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If a talkback caller made the same unfunny joke would there be uproar?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a shit fight between two TV people, which should be lower on the "meh" scale than 2 homeless people fighting over a new shopping cart</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Major problem in the western world is listening to and placing importance on what TV people say - the fluffybunnies are glorified ad space salesmen</p> -
<p>Eddie complicates this by being a media person AND the President of the club. He's never been short of bitching up a storm when he thinks Collingwood (or Melbourne in general) isn't being a fair go.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fact that he's an unedifying clusterfuck of a human is just the icing on the cake</p> -

<p>Eddie in shit ... again ... this time for wanting to drown Caroline Wilson.<br><br>
Gives the half arsed "I'm sorry <em>IF</em> you were offended" non-apology.</p>

<p>That was a truly gross conversation. Wouldn't matter who they were talking about, joking about paying money to drown someone is fucking disgusting. The fact that it is a bunch of wankpuffin old boys dissing a female journalist again makes a mockery of steps football orgs in Australia are taking to stamp out sexism and general shitty behaviour. The head of the AFL must have been spitting tacks when this went down so soon after the positive good news story of the Women's league setting up.</p> -
<p>The thing about Caro Wilson that upsets people , she isnt the usual bimbo type that seem to be working in sport these days , that is all smiles and speaks cliches </p>
<p> </p>
<p>She is a tough old girl that knows her footy , isnt afraid to step on toes to get out a story , and not intimidated by the likes of Eddie </p> -
<p>The Richmond Tigers will boycott all media with Triple M this week in protest over the incident. Apparently they are a real leader when it comes to women's rights.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dustin Martin probably has a different view, after that ban he got for threatening that woman in a restaurant. oh, wait...</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>PR bullshit pisses me off. Especially hypocritical PR bullshit. </p> -
Collingwood accepts Eddie's apology.
-
<p>This one has really stuck in my craw. (whatever that means but I think it's the same as pisses me off)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wasn't the original funny joke aimed not at her gender but more at the fact that she's an annoying journo who doesn't kowtow to the "stakeholders" of the game?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No? It <em>was</em> completely and totally about domestic violence? Really?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So what, people actually thought these guys were going to drown a person (a woman even!) on TV at a huge charity event? And that's the proof that this sort of thing impels a pissed up fuckwit with massive insecurity issues to swing at his poor suffering wife (not "wife" Siam, we're all "partners" now, until the alimony money is due).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I call bullshit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I get the message about not encouraging Roy Chubby Brown "jokes" demeaning people. I used the same rationale when Goodes was going through his tumult, but a poorly thought out comment about drowning a journalist is all about domestic violence??? Really?? umm ok then, whatever.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And because I've ranted so long I'll repeat my new found philosophy for life in a 1st world country</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don't ever fucken ever take Cunnts on TV seriously, ever! They're not real, don't exist in a real medium and only exist to make us buy steak knives, new cars, phones and dishwashing liquid - that is their sole purpose.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bah fucking humbug</p> -
