AFL 2010

COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire was forced to defend his integrity at a heated annual general meeting last night.
The Magpies boss was angry at the questioning from the floor after being heckled by a handful of the 500 members present at the MCG's Olympic Room.

But the questions about the establishment of the Richard Pratt Cup for away games against Carlton and board appointments without members' approval - Winter Olympic champion Alisa Camplin was the latest last week - certainly got under McGuire's skin.

"I think there was a certain lack of respect tonight, which I was personally disappointed about," he said.

"The respect that was not shown to the position as president of the Collingwood Football Club was disappointing.
"But I won't ever let people denigrate our club, our guernsey, the servants of our club and certainly not the position of the board or the presidents of the football club."

Earlier, chief executive Gary Pert revealed the sale of the Beach Hotel was being held up by the freehold owners but he expected it to be resolved in the short term.

The investment in the hotel has been a financial disaster for the Magpies.

Shame on you , Red

Disrespecting Eddie's Position

OK, humour me here, HTF is it possible to disrespect the position of president of the most despised club in the AFL?

Are you sure Red isn't Alisa Camplin?

Eddie is despised for himself, not his position.

Eddie is Bucky?

Eddie is bucketless?

1. Eddie McGuire has no integrity.

2. If Red really is Alisa Camplin - Welcome to Flaming Bails

Shane Watson to play for the Eagles?

A headline writer's wet dream

natural environment for him I would have thought

So glad Carlton traded Fevola. Any misdemeanours from his post-Brownlow wouldn't have been noticed in the rush by Houlihan, Walker and Betts to take the mantle of 'Blues King Pisshead'.

what were those two thinking?

Doubt there was much thinking going on.

prolly right - Hurl-I-can has always been a nob...Andrew Walker has always seemed a good bloke ( and a gutsy and skillful albeit injury prone player)

And Betts?
