Go the Leachster!!!!!

[thejiggingsaint]

Did anyone else hear the "discussion" between Francis Leach and Eddie Mc Guire on SEN last night? To hear two "broady boys" going at each other hammer and tongs did me old heart good!!!
Just like a satdee night at the old "Willow Bank" in Anfield!!!
I was trying to peel the spuds for tea and keep from "doing a Fev" in me kitchen from laughin!!!
It was good to hear Frankie stand up to Eddie (who started with the cheap shots rather than answer the queations) Proud to be a Sainter I was!!!!

[Life Long Saint]

Nope...What was the topic of the discussion?

[thejiggingsaint]

It was about Collingwoods "offer" to play some games on the Gold Coast in order to "help the comp" (??!!??) Francis Leach wanted to know why it was that NONE of these would be Collingwood home games!!!!
Eddie got shirty at the cheek of Francis questioning anything concerning Collingwood and of course resorted to snide comments.
If you're near a radio I believe its being replayed on Mark Dorans show today

[aussiejones]

Trouble with Eddie Everwhere is he only sees his view ......

Love him or hate him . So full of himself and self importance !
(i prefer to not see or hear him at all.)

[evertonfc]

sweet......im listening already

Been and gone?

[saintbrat]

they have ben playing bits and pieces all day

If Mark's going to play the whole debate it will possibly be after the quiz and before he finishes for the day
will beintersting to hear if the run home replay any

BTW Francis has a new article up on saints.com.au.

[yipper]

It was good radio. Eddie arrogance seemed quite aghast that someone would actually question him on his motives!!

Well done to Francis for putting him through the ringer a bit - usually he gets pandered to far to much by the media.

[Russman]

I heard most of it.
I missed the end though because I had to go out.
It was great hearing Francis fight back , and not just taking the crap from Eddie.
How did it end up?
I think Archie should put an offer to the AFL too , for StKilda "giving up" some away games to play in the Gold Coast.
We could play the following matches in the Gold Coast:

Rd 6 Port Adelaide vs StKilda

Rd 9 Brisbane Lions vs StKilda (should attract many locals)

Rd12 Sydney vs StKilda (Gold Coast get a taste of a different style of Football)

Rd14 Kangaroos vs StKilda (Gold Coast get to see they missed out on)

Rd 17 Collingwood vs StKilda (unfortunately we give up an MCG match , but that is part of the sacrifice we are making, and Eddie still gets his wish of seeing his beloved pies contribute to the Gold Coast expansion)

Rd19 Westcoast vs StKilda (battle for a top 4 spot )

NO THEY CANT PLAY THE PORT GAME UP THERE

[Winmarvellous]

Ditto the West Coast game. We only get to see one game at the most here in Perth with the ticketing situation as it is. Give up more Vic games I say. Expand the Saints fan base into WA more Say, Collingwood vs Saints at Subi. I'd pay to see that.

[saintbrat]

being replayed now on sen 10.50

[saintbrat]

for the good of the game we'll all have to give a little and go up to the coast to promote- BUT don't expect Collingwood to give up any home games,

I think they should, though.

Its all very well and good to offer to promote the game in other markets, but it is pure arrogance to think you can get away with that without being willing to give up any home games and assuming other clubs will be happy to give away thiers.

As if teams with "fortress" home grounds like West Coast and teams that struggle to draw away from home already like Port and Freo are going to agree to give up precious home game so Collingwood dosen't have to travel to more than 1 interstate venue.

If Eddie wants to promote the game, let them play neutral interstate home games like the rest of us. There are 16 teams in this league, not just 1.
