more so if you are freo.
hugely disappointing to see us lose tonight in a see sawing contest. sadly i feel it is a game we should of gone on and won. there are some good signs for the eagles but some frustating poor marking and skills and worse poor choice of selection of course of action among several alternative possibilities! the delivery into the forward line to josh kennedy and jack darling was dreadful. credit to collingwood though.

I think that a few may have been stung by the falt track bully tag at the Eagles.
I think the sting went out of the Eagles when they were still in with a chance and Grundy was given a 50 metre penalty.Had he taken his kick from where he marked the ball he may not have made the distance.
But a very entertaining game for sure.

The most entertaining part for me was listening to the "press red for Ed" commentary with all the Collingwood stooges. It was hilarious! Yeo kicked a brilliant goal at one stage and the commentator ( think it was Michael Christian) announced in a flat voice "its a goal", but they would raise their voices to fever pitch when Dane Swan farted. Great theatre. On the subject of the 50 metre penalty that you referred to, Eddies comment was along the lines of that the magpies were a bit lucky to get it, so that tells you something doesn't it?

i am not suggesting we deserved to win. how can you with poor errors like this?

One of the best games I've seen all year.

Out of curiosity I pressed the "Ed" button . What an embarrassment to the code. If this is where footy is heading, we are seriously losing the plot. How do Foxtel allow Collingwood to get this type of coverage? It really cheapens the AFL as a whole. Really amateurish & grade 5 theatrics .

Alas its the way of the world, just check the most popular shows on TV, contrived so called reality shows, with loud and annoying prticipants and contestants

For the record a/man I was merely curious. I lasted about 20 minutes and clicked him off. I would hate it if my club did that. All I want is quality commentary that explains what is happening on both sides. Imagine if Georgie G and Geoff Christian were still around to witness this horse shit.

Even if I was a Colliwobble supporter I still wouldn't tune into that sort of rubbish. Surely their board of directors must be a little embarrassed at this farce called a show that is run by their PRESIDENT??? Has that man no ethics at all?

Errr NO. Think of the sleeziest car saleman mulitplied by the most sleeziest real estate salesman, chuck in a finacial advisor, add a pr person, mix it together...bingo you have Eddie

Good one - spot on

I thought eddie and think eddie should not be commentating after dropping the c bomb on live tv he does enough tv to not stuff up like that
