Kennett hasn't been this spot on with his comments since Clarkson last won the flag.

| Not really too fussed what Mr Rent-A-Headline says about anything. His work with beyond blue is his only redeeming feature. |

It's more of a general theory of Jeff's though. He's said many times that he thinks more than 5 years in any job is too long. One of the reasons he thought Clarkson should have been sacked  .

Old Jack Boot Jeff has got foot in mouth disease again.
"I think it's time"....yes and why? Where are the supporting arguments? You were starring into your eggs benedict this morning when you suddenly had an epiphany Jeffrey? "Ed should stand down!"..."because I saw it in my runny yolks!"
But surely this is a yolk old Joffa of the poos'n'wees. Surely you can't be serious?
Anyone that knows anything about what is happening at Collingwood knows now would be the worst time for a change of leadership in the boardroom.
Just because we lose a few games of football is not grounds to turn the place upside down. A little perspective goes a long way ladies.

To be honest until the time comes when Ed signals his intentions to leave I'd be surprised if anyone has the gumption to take him on for the Presidents spot.

So we need this Board to stay until they decide to Leave then?
Well there been there for 15 years so might not be a bad thing |
There is no time limit Dave. But you don't turn a club upside down because we have lost a few games and very small vocal handful of interweb trolls have got their undies in a bunch. Yeh, we might miss the finals for the first time in nine seasons, big deal. It's like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
You want a new board? Give me some concrete evidence of abuse of power, financial mismanagement, putting our club in a compromising position for personal profit, conflict of interest, or just something decent, not because some people sook when we lose.
The Club embarked on the biggest building program since 1959 and we are in the final stages of this now. The board needs at least two more years to see this through. Perhaps at that time it may be decided that new fresh ideas are needed and change may take place. I don't see an overthrow happening any time soon and, from my very limited perspective, I don't see anyone that could do what Eddie does.

That person would have to get on the board first. The board then decides who is President of the Club.

Well I don’t see any changes any time soon.
Eddie would be the one to put a stop of it when he Retires

| I have no doubt this guy will still be running his mouth beyond the grave. Trying his best to stay relevant I would imagine. You won't hear a peep out of any Melbourne clubs as to Ed's position, otherwise they might actually have to do some of the dirty work themselves in regards to such things as equalization etc. Until that is out of the way, then watch them all finally start to speak out against him. |

Don't get it.
Kennet ran Victoria into the ground. What the &%%& would he know.

At least he may have half a conscience...?
Do we give his work at Beyond Blue credit?
But one of the reasons an organisation like Beyond Blue exists is because of Conservative policies trampling the most needy and working class Australian's into the ground.

I believe it should be a shared role comprising of David Cloke and Eddiesmith !
Jason Cloke's fist on a whack a mole stico would attack you if you disagreed with selection or policy. I believe this would be equitable to all!

Eddie will not go while the club is languishing like this, riddled with injuries, and with a very young team learning the ropes. He will go when he is good and ready,not before, Kennett has a point, he has been there a fair while, but ultimately its eddies decision. He will know when the time is right, if we can hopefully make top four within two years, I think he will then hand over to a very good successor in Craig Kelly.
