yeah he can..he can start with sacking anybody in the cheer squad who goes on with that nonsence....did it befotre when it suited the deadsh!t....Dr Spaceman wrote:Eddie probably can't do much to stop them.westy wrote:I suspect the AFL would have the same problem that faces the British Government. It is hard stopping morons and scum from being morons and scum!
But what he can do, and should do, is publicly make a statement on the issue. Something along the lines that such conduct is unacceptable and that those people doing so should not be regarded as true Collingwood supporters.
If it was good enough to crap on about the Krakouer "incident", and follow it up on national TV where he allowed his own network toadies to label him a "hero against racism", then it's good enough now.
Of course that won't happen due to Eddie's enormous ego

Greg Westaway is an extremely decent man who wouldn't even consider getting into a public slanging match with Fat Slug because I suspect he knows better than anyone that it'll all be reduced to a cheap tit-for-tat that Fat Slug will twist to give himself moral high ground (however fatuous).SteveStevens66 wrote:Apparently our club has a President. He's never been seen nor heard so at this stage it just remains a rumor. If, however, he is found to actually exist one would think this would be a fit and proper subject for him to take up and defend Stevie Milne loudly and proudly.
The rapist tag is horrible enough. Having a fight about it in the Hun is the worst possible outcome IMO.
If McGuire possessed a tenth of the quality of Westaway he'd have had this subject iced when his little holier than thou bum chum Mick blew up like spoilt bogan schoolyard bitch so many moons ago. In fact, it's probably not too late to rectify that little horror show. But he's not decent. He's a poisonous grub. He will do anything and stop at nothing for the betterment of himself and whatever's under his umbrella.

MINORITY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
are you joking. The sound of that chant is not merely produced by
a minority.
7 years we've all had to put up with this disgusting foul mouthed rubbish but in saying that, i wouldn't give Neil Mitchell the time of day as he's an opportunist that runs with any story to enhance his reputation & ratings.

Why make more headlines??
That's Eddie's problem. He's the president who now has to answer
critics.

I never suggested for one moment that Westaway wasn't a decent man. What I will say, however, is that as St Kilda President, he has a responsibility to publicly defend and advocate for the club as a whole and its players as individuals. If he is too "decent" to do that then perhaps this isn't the job for him. That said, you don't climb as high in the corporate world as he has without being able to open your mouth and fight forcefully for your position. He is not as delicate as you imply. He can certainly go public with this. In fact it is a winner because no one but Collingwood people will stick up for them. He'll have the whole footy world on his side. As for going tit-for-tat with the Fat Slug he doesn't have to. He can do it by issuing a public challenge to Demeriou (another pig hated by all except Plugger66) and ask rhetorically what he intends to do about this, especially given the AFL's great concern with the image of the game and making it a family friendly atmosphere.Thinline wrote:

Waaayyy too logical. It's all about us gringogringo wrote:I think Milney would say he would rather be abused at the ground than it be splashed across the media again where his kids get harassed and his family are put through hell. The club may just want to support their player in the fashion he would like not the fans.

He is asking for phone calls & emails from Saints fans who endured this crap from the filth. Our chance for payback!

About time the grounds had people evicted if they are caught doing it.
Only a matter of time before the AFL also clamp down on umpire abuse with evictions as a penalty.
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

the old saying is "never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel."
getting into an argument with eddie mcguire just means that he'll have a go at you on his radio show every morning. it's pretty hard to get enough oxygen to fight back in that case. why not let the media push the fight for you - as he's doing? much smarter.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. Other than making you feel better, dragging Milne's mind from football, dragging the club into a media stoush with a bloke with a stake in the system and otherwise forcing a whole lot of hindsight reporting about 'St Kilda scandal', I guess there is plenty to be gained by 'speaking out'.SteveStevens66 wrote:I never suggested for one moment that Westaway wasn't a decent man.
