Jimmy is such a breath of fresh air on this show. Similar to JJ Redick on ESPN. No BS, no agenda, just facts
Sounds like he has an agenda when it comes to COLA
Absolutely. Caroline is negative enough and Sam McClure took everything personally. Jimmy is so composed and just talks footy without the bs
he's certainly improving. poor at first, but now starting to sound intelligent. if it works out then his mentors and guys that gave him a chance have been geniuses, as he is still a rough diamond at times.
@@BDub2024 He's already the best on this panel, but thats not saying much
@@gdbssa Ross was good last year. Except he sucked up to Eddie too much. That's how hes's stayed in coaching so long. Not a good character trailt. But generally he was humorous and insightful/intelligent. Caro love or loathe is at least entertaining. Seeing Eddie is like scraping a blackboard with his cringy sound grabs.
Eddie brings to mind that kid from the schoolyard who would take his basketball away after a poor performance on the court.
Both guys are right, COLA should have never been a percentage bonus, but a flat sum of money for NSW players so you dont get Buddy and Kurt Tippet making hundreds of thousands extra while the young kids get pennies. Buddy was rumored to get between $100,000-$300,000 extra a year to play for sydney while young players on the list were getting $4000-$6000 a year extra which is completely broken.
GWS is a dumb name. It should just be the West Sydney Giants.
Eddie spot on. Any COLA should’ve been handled directly by the AFL. A supplementary payment shared equally with all players on the list since they all supposedly have these cost of living expenses. Instead Sydney used it to disproportionately pump up the contracts of 2 players essentially using it as extra salary cap space and not an allowance for every player.
A spot on comment bro well stated.
And no one understands this everyone calling Eddie a sook he is absolutely spot on
I don’t think that’s how it worked, it had to factor into every contract, pretty sure Eddie was just talking rubbish
@@talram3347 no mate this is exactly what happened that’s why they took away the cost of living allowance all together
@@wheelson7895 no it wasn’t, the contract had to be finalised and then the COLA added but hey don’t let the facts get in the way
Going to be pretty harsh on interstate supporters if they want to change fixtures mid season when they've already booked flights/accommodation etc to go somewhere.
Eddie's a clown.
"GWS should play half in Canberra and half in Sydney and not worry about going to Perth"
Easy for a Victorian to say when you play 75% of games in your own city. Us interstate teams don't have that same luxury so why hurt our fixturing even more.
Agreed. He's all about how big Collingwood are and how they're the team that provides do much for the competition.
Okay then, if Collingwood are the saviours of the AFL and draw the crowds everywhere they go, let's lean into that. Every fortnight Collingwood should play one game at the MCG and the other outside of Victoria, to bring crowds in around the country. Build the game, bring in revenues. It's just business.
@@frustralia4293 I totally agree.
My tongue was firmly in my cheek in that suggestion. I'm just making the point that Eddie is all for other sides being overhauled or making big changes for the game, but not his beloved Pies.
He's all about big ideas to improve the game and he's also all about how Collingwood draws the biggest crowd and that they do so much for the game etc. Combine those two ideas and there's a plan.
@@kossend1 honestly embarrassing how u attack a man for loving his footy club
Callum your a nuffy
@@kossend1 are you blind? Collingwood isent struggling for members or revenue are they? He's saying GWS should play more home game in NSW to promote the game ya nuffie.
As a Sydneysider, I agree with Eddie. NSW Giants , more in Canberra and maybe change the guernsey to the one they play against the swans. Not too late to change things . GWS need to focus more on regional NSW as AFL has a big following in some parts of the state as well as Canberra.
U agree with Eddie 9 games in a row in Sydney is not enough ..stuff Sydney
The minimum wage for an afl rookie is 71,000. That is more than enough to support yourself full time week to week. Most players are on a hell of a lot more than that - the average is 370,000
AFL players dont need COLA, period
That is really deceptive though because that is the wage now, when Buddy and Kurt Tippet were making mega dollars with COLA the minimum wage was $41,000 and Sydney had an incredible amount of rookie and senior players with few players in middle years range. So Sydney did abuse COLA while their rookies who were forcibly drafted interstate to the most expensive place to live in Australia only got an extra $4,000-$6,000 a year, Kurt and Buddy got hundreds of thousands extra a year because COLA was percentage based. $71,000 a year is not allot when you are 18, you are most likely forced to move interstate, you play a contact sport that will take years of your life, you live in the most expensive city in Australia and you have huge restrictments on how you live such as diets, not being able to take drugs or drink heavily, you are expected to be a role model, you must maintain a very lean body type and you have travel restrictions, plus you are expected to live with team mates. Allot of this is a hard ask for 17/18 years olds fresh out of school.
Jimmy swinging his head like hes watching a game of tennis.
Agreed made me spin out
Don’t agree with Eddie all the time but he’s right here.
His right 9 in Sydney in isn't enough bloody Sydney never happy imagine pies get next 9 in Melbourne
Pies loved playing there ,good record there ,Go pies ,👊❤👍
It's AFL Eddie not NSW & Vic
We haven't play Sydney in Melbourne for 13 years give it a rinse eddie
Agree stupid comment by Eddie
Than God fat head Maguire is no longer president of Collingwood or even the CEO of the Afl.
GWS should play only in Sydney. Why go to Canberra at all, its not even in NSW.
I always thought it was in nsw.go figure
COLA was a absolute joke. Sydney still receives hand outs after 30 years! They just choke on GF day, much to the horror of the AFL who are Sydney Swans centric! They want nothing more than Swans to be in the Top 4 always, just to beat the NRL.
Agree Fanta and solo heaps better
You do not need COLA it is total nonsense.
20% of Australia's population chooses to live in Sydney regardless of costs. Footballers get paid more than the average Aussie so they do not need a subsidy to afford to live there.
Cola for AFL was abused and will be abused again, that is the nature of taking advantage of any recruiting strategy that clubs have access too.
giants are not a team you give saturday nights
The fact that we have to go back to 2003 to illustrate the point says it all about Eddie’s idea
Cola was for the players not the club seemed fair enough on the lads
Fanta was sorry solo
Ed is correct about COLA, the clubs who had it were taking the P155. It's the silliest argument ever. No footballer (except the brand new rookies or rookie listed blokes) is struggling to live anywhere in this country. They are on great money, the average is $400K. If you're seriously struggling on $400K, then best get yourself a financial planner.
Also if we are seriously buying this cost of living crap, why then don't WA, SA and QLD teams have less in their cap than Vic teams, seeing as the cost of living in Victoria is higher than those states???
im from adelaide but cost of living in Perth is higher than melbourne
@Harvey Lyall not according to the stats. What I've seen it is between 7 and 13% cheaper to live in Perth than Melbourne.
For one thing, Victoria has the highest energy cost for consumers in the entire country.
Look it's a crazy argument, no club should have extra in the cap and no footballer should be crying about the cost of living when they earn so well.
Correct. So many people have Eddie Derangement Syndrome
It hilarious watching people criticize Eddy, the min that turned Collingwood into the richest club in the league, as if he woulnd't know what he's talking about.
Good to see one guest on the Eddie show not a faired to disagree with the host, the other two looked ridiculous
Should have been Canberra Bushrangers from the very Start haha
It's amazing how he doesn't talk about what the Swans gave up eg. Mumford and alike to fit Franklin in. The Swans didn't go after Franklin he went to them and the Swans did everything they were required to do regarding their cap. It was flogs like Eddie and McLaughlin who had egg on their face when the news came out because they wanted Franklin at gws. The Swans lost trades and picks for doing nothing wrong, but clubs like Richmond with Lynch and Geelong with Cameron can do the same and are applauded. Pathetic Maguire and afl bosses
All those matches in Sydney, Who will play their home matches up there? Collingwood? I don't think so.
West coast and freo should play more home games. Based on what Eddie Munster said
I agree that majority of players don’t need the COLA, but my best mate just moved to Sydney last year for a job in tech and I was gobsmacked to what he pays in rent, so I can’t imagine the rookies are doing too well 😂
Queensland Labour Day weekend Sunday night game in Brisbane - The Roar Deal podcast is all over this conversation.
Eddie is spot on in this regard and instead of giving money to younger players COLA was used to recruit Tippets and Franklin!! They made their bed 🛌 then sooked it up after abusing it,simple!!!!
And it’s hurt the Giants in particular!!!!
Spot on. Cola would have worked if aimed at retention in young players to the state. Instead it was exploited. Eddie is bang on. A sugar free cola is required :)
Umm Canberra is not in NSW does Eddy know this?
I mean technically it is inside of NSW
Haha Eddie not even knowing what the stadium is called 😂
Bang on Eddie. The Gordon Gecko swans board killed the goose
I luv the comment. Absolutely correct dude.
Dumb argument Dn't these codes release fixtures around the same time ?
any danger that eddie can stop yelling his points across the panel
Eddie & Jimmy get into it over calls for to establish Jimmy Cartels empire
Eddie fails to see the unequal benefit father-son provides foundation clubs of the VFL… Do away with all of it, including academy players, increase the fixture so all clubs play each other twice in the regular season
Eddie's goitre is getting worse by the week.
There will be a day where Eddie doesn't blanket the episode with Collingwood this, and Collingwood that.
Around the same time as his eulogy I reckon?
Collingwood are everywhere and fat head Maguire is the trumpet.
Jimmys a flog
Jimmy must have a bloody sore neck after each episode
Eddie is a politician, incapable of expressing himself without a good measure of BS.
I live in Brisbane and all we get here are the lions and suns. We don't get to see blockbusters in fact we do not even see football. Sat and Sunday we saw thew suns on Sunday . Can you talk to channel 7 to be fair or maybe just go to another chanell
So this is another thing Gillon has stuffed up is it? Seriously what has been successful about this guys era in office?
AFL is weaponising against cricket. But should do it against rugby and soccer.
Easy to hate Eddie but it's not his fault that since the dawn of time and the introduction of humanity to the universe that not one of your bloodline has ever amounted to absolutely bugger all. 👍
You OK hun?
dudes richer than all our family's combined lol
If only Mr McGuire would close the hole below his nose now and again, the world would be a better place...
“It’s gorilla warfare - we need to weaponise the fixture”. Like 😅 really?
Everyone in these comments clearly dont no anything about buisness and marketing.
its a sport, nerd. count your beans elsewhere.
And you clearly don’t know how to spell
Cola ispullshit facts are since its gone ,Sydney still won a flag an played in the gf last year with a young side ..
A cost of living allowance when players earn , on average, $200,000 a year.What a lot of crap
Coke prices are pretty steep these days you know!!
@@timmcgrath9708 gr8 comment
Eddie is like a pigeon he walks with his chest out because his money talks
Stop talking Eddie...please
Eddie likes to dish it, but taking OHHHH NO NO NO
I miss Eddie. Wish we can get him back at the club in some form.
We dont need cola back. Such a joke.
Eddie’s not always right, but he’s never wrong.
Boohoo for Sydney
