He should be here doing a PR job keeping everything under control. |
I can see that it's not a good look, but I wouldn't be surprised if a good deal of the actual work of president is done between seasons, teeing/shoring up sponsorships etc. |

If I was going to Europe I wouldn't go in winter. The whole subject is childish and smacks of a free shot.I hope he never gets sick "Should have waited for the off season to have a heart attack".

I'm with you Ronrat. Plus his kids are growing up. He has to utilise school holidays. And it's too bloody cold there in our summer, as you say

hopefully he will be trying to poach a good coach!
I expect him to be waiting at the end of the run for the winning coach with a blank cheque!

I guess at the end of the day we nitpick because we can't win a freaking game of footy. If we were going well on the field would we really care what Ed does? If we were 10 and 5 then Ed can head off to Thailand and bang a bunch of ladyboys while toking on a fat splif for all I would care. But, we are not winning and we are a little bit pissed off!!!!

Eddie is on FoxFooty hosting Friday Night Footy tomorrow night.
Will apparently take questions from the panel before the game.

Let's hope the questions are not soft c$ck ones.
Ed needs to be asked the hard questions on how it got to this stage.
It was all merry in 2014 when there was a lot of back slapping within the club of the grand vision that would be ready to lead us to glory in 2017-2018.
Other than Bucks who has to front the media it's been pretty much crickets from the rest.

| Maybe we can can do a swap. We give Eddies son to Sutherland and Cricket Australia - as they needs players due to the current pay dispute. In return we get Sutherlands kid and still keep our first draft pick |

I envy Ed.
I wish I could overseas and not torture myself watching this club unravel on-field week after week.
I wouldn't blame him if he came back pre-finals bye weekend.
Apart from that, he is doing what everyone on earth should do - putting his family first. He has earnt his riches through tenacity and hard work - and if the fruits of his labour involve watching his son play cricket overseas, good luck to him. |

Ed just can't understand what all the fuss is about.
It's 5 wins for the season. Nothing to get hysterical about.
So why don't you all shut up and like it.
Buckley stays. Suck it up idiots.
Love it.
Cos you will all suck it up like the salivating dogs that you are!
