"McGuire’s ‘lap of honour’ exit from the club’s presidency"

So true

McGuire can't even jump off a sinking ship with any integrity.

At least Chris Scott just jumped.

McGuire is gonna shuffle his feet, poke around the listing hull, trying to shore up his own place in history,

drawing half-arsed salutes from the crew.

Sorry Ed. To anyone who isnt Collingwood, and many who are,

you'll be consigned to the John Elliot bin of history.

with all the other fat-headed, racist, brash, entitled, narcissist old boys,

who put themselves before the game
You can be sure that Eddie will ensure the Board he leaves behind will be pro-Eddie, and that he will leave the door open to be reinstated five years later once his lucrative media deals fizzle out and he tries to stay relevant. It has Jeff Kennett written all over it.

Think the word is he'll be parachuted into some safe federal Labour seat as soon as he tells them he's all in. Once he gets there I can't imagine he'll be a dutiful backbencher.
If you think about it he's basically a politician now, doing backroom deals, negotiating factions and putting his foot in his mouth!

I think Eddie has to much baggage to become a pollie now and we need less spin in politics rather than more regardless of which party considers

Kind of see him as a one nation man. Reminds me a little of Pauline Hanson. They both have this uncanny ability to say stupid stuff.

Did an amazing job for Collingwood, but hung around to long, and started to think he was bigger than the game.

McGuire has stood down as President effective immediately.
Shawshank Collingwood
Just before stepping down he must've wondered how Harry Obrein got the better of him.
He must be spewing that O'Brien ended his presidency

Stayed way too long.

Hanging around for this season was self-indulgent.

Good to see the club find some testicles. In reality though, autocrats like Eddie tend to leave their clubs in poor shape.

Buckley looking more vulnerable now.
