Your best podcast yet lads, Jimmy finally realising he has butt in to get a word and the show is better for it. I think you'll find its Penrith Panthers Eddie not Parramatta in the Nrl GF.😜
Eddie has the best ideas: a monologue history of Eddies best suggestions that nobody listened to then, and nobody cares now. (With a pleasant sprinkling of interruptions)
Thanks Jimmy for bringing it up about not hearing the journos questions, it's appalling. And Eddie the Brisbane team next door had nothing to do with it, it's been like this for a few years now so get with the program Ed.
The design of the current MCG is anti the average fan. It has too many levels of corporate boxes and dining rooms with most of the fans stuck way up the top . The old MCG held more people, was half the height and had twice the atmosphere. Stadium design should be for the people!
Absolutely, hope there smart enough to remember it's the fans who keep this game going. It's not the most popular sport in Australia by a long long shot, as far as young people playing the sport.
I'm glad Jimmy is being harsh on Sydney. It's not being talked about enough how bad they fumbled and how their recent GF track record is clearly an issue that can't be ignored.
I think its got something to do with the dimensions of the SCG.. depending where you look, 8m shorter and five metres less wide... which doesnt sound like much, but it does mean if you play off your man, the way the Swans do, the direct opponent does have more room to get away from you... Brisbane exploited that I think some of their cross kicks diagonally allowed the man then run directly on to goal with the defender in his wake...
@@PeterM1-qx1tz A ground’s dimensions have nothing to do with not being hard in the contest, being accountable for an opponent and running hard and tackling hard. The Swans have gone woke and soft. Having their female “sports psychologist” speaking to the players at half time says it all. The current side has nothing on the hard, real Bloods teams of 2005/06 & 2012 …
@@ma3stro681 Sure, Im not disputing most of what you said.... I didnt know they had a female sports psychologist talking to them at half time by the way, so thanks for the update. My point is that at the SCG, you can give a guy a few yards, and the boundary is right there, there is nowhere for him to go... at the G, its that extra half kick or handball over the top.. give him any room and he is gone.. like we saw on the weekend. Cheers, its all good. ; ]
Imagine the equalisation outcry from Eddie about both Ashcroft brother's going to the Lions - if it wasn't for the potential for double standards with the Daicos brothers both going to the Pies I guarantee you he would be loud.
To get a bigger capacity, the scoreboard goes and filled up with seats. Then use the technology that you have a few scoreboards can be holographic . That should give another few thousand or more
Ed, gotta get Kylie for the first twilight grand final next year. Let’s see if the boy from broardy has any pull. One other issue, swans didn’t make the 8 last year had an easier draw put them in a fake position on the ladder and that’s what happens when you meet a strong tuff side in the big dance. Go lions❤. Lets see how the swans go next year with a tuffer draw
How did l go from hating Eddie McGuire, to now buying his vision and drive.. yes he can talk underwater but if there's ideas and they are there to make you think and discuss in the interest of the game what's not to like.
Way too early. They will likely spend 2025 getting the club established and the admin side of things, job appointments etc. Maybe they'll join the 2025 draft, but if not then 2026 would be the year they start to build the team. Look at how GC and GWS established the club and wider footy squad before throwing a senior team in the deep end of the competition.
That’s the problem with umpiring ED, too many accountants and lawyers, intelligent idiots I call them, give me a forklift driver from the Cole’s warehouse who has played A grade footy any day.
Call Brisbane the Comeback Kings of the jungle! The Vegas offseason fiasco whatever that was, the early / mid season slump, the GWS/ Geelong turnaround wins, quite the roller coaster of a season !..🦁🥇🤪😂
I think the double chance is nonsense.. the only advantage you should get is home ground.. once you are in finals it should be sudden death... 1st plays 8th, 2nd plays 7th and so on... week three you have the bye to let the two best teams recover.. and then on to the big game. The week before the finals, you announce the All Australian side, then your four state sides, WA, SA, Vic and the allies (players can make both) and the state sides play a game on Saturday, and then Sunday the weekend before the granny when there is no footy. One year WA will play Victoria, next year they play SA,, and the third year they play the Allies... Obviously you cant include players involved in the grand final, but they will still get awarded the state guernsey if they are good enough. I think you would be surprised at the amount of fans who will turn up.. state of origin is a great concept, what better time to do it than at the point of the season where the most interest is on, during the one weekend when theres no footy? I personally hate the end of season bye precisely because theres no game to watch.
Jimmy dropping his head down to write the words "accoutrements " and "equanimity" on his note pad. Eddie is a bizarre mix of bogan-ology, boomer-speak and spelling bee competitor.
Sydney got exposed for being soft two years ago. Instead of learning to be ruthless and uncompromising like Geelong were, they talked to a female sports psychologist and learned how to check in with each other 😂😂
Exactly. As an old South supporter, this is the biggest cause of my losing complete respect for the club, that has obviously gone very woke under Tom Harley. Replacing “sons” in the old club song to appease the AFLW side (which is a joke in itself) is another big bone of contention for me, as is the Pride round nonsense. Like the silenced majority, I despise virtue signalling and having it rammed down my throat (just like with the divisive Welcome To Country that no one wants). But the club won’t care because of record membership, high attendances, and let’s face it, most Sydney based supporters wouldn’t have a clue and are most likely also woke. But the reality is, go woke, choke! The Swans are now a joke, and if the club is serious, Horse, Kinnear Beatson and Emma Murray need to be shown the door …
How glorious does the MCG look on grand final day. All team supporters are together, it stands out like dog balls. I think capacity was just shy of under 6 in this season's gf between two interstate teams. Just awesome but Sydney let us down because all we want is a close game, and it's the best game.
any team that plays over 15 games a year on a tiny SCG will struggle on larger proper AFL grounds. SCG is great for cricket but a joke for men's senior AFL. Swans need to get outa there
Oooohhh okay so the reason we want to change the grand final time slot is for foreign performers to have pretty lights for their mini concerts. Got it! Thanks for coming everyone, now enjoy your little kick ball game.
"how good is crown casino! we should do X cos kerry stokes says so! As the great Kerry Packer said..." what's the word for someone who idolises the rich the way eddy does?
Is there nothing for tradition? Surely keep the grandfinal at its traditional time. Why does everyone want to change. Keep something traditional, please? Sad how big mouth commentators want to run the game. Supporters built the game, give them some say.
Because the ideal of growing the game, particularly through the marque game, would mean moving to a later time to suit international audiences. Kick off at 5.30 would mean a Uk 8.30am watch instead of 5 and would be more ideal in the us too.
There is a very remote chance that with a twilight or night Grand Final there could be a power failure. It has happened before but play can continue later that night or even the next day, be it a regular season game or a final. With a GF it is a lot different and that would create all sorts of problems. Continue the game the next day ? No way. Day Grand Final, ALWAYS!
@@barefoot.cryptographer3974 5.30pm is 3.30am in the USA east coast, 12.30am in the west. In it's current timeslot, people on the west coast could watch from 9.30pm friday night. There aren't hundreds of thousands of desperate AFL fans overseas. What other league prioritises non-existent fans overseas, over their real domestic fans?
The reason it was bought in because Fremantle were forecast to play round 22 or 23 in Tasmania and they took half a team over and everyone in the gambling circles kicked up a stink about it .....Sorry swans just played a stinker!!! IT WAS FREO ....they couldn't finish higher so and the VFL cronies changed the rules .....THE AFL is so reactive. I say do away with all BYES!! it survived. Brisbane were just so good. We have seen so many Victorian sides win flags. Its dam hard and I said almost impossible to win from outside of Victoria given the travel fatigue non Victorian dont get.
Non Victorian teams have won 11 flags since VFL rebranded to AFL. They've had there chances too as they've been in a truckload of them too. Every year non Victorian teams make up a good part of the top eight. Get some perspective. St Kilda can't even win one let alone make one.
Banish Eddie to podcasts only so you only see and hear him if you want to sick of him and Collingwood agenda and pouring crap on Northern sides Eddie should go back and see what clubs did to start the bears/lions off

Consider changing the podcast to: "The Eddie Monologue...featuring Jimmy Occasionally."
‘Whinging and reminiscing with Eddie’ would be a fitting title

💯 which is a shame as Jimmy is much more intelligent and articulate imo
Enjoyed Eddie’s childhood memories of the MCG. Love their deep knowledge of the game as well as their banter.
Only Eddie could make a Grand Final recap between Brisbane and Sydney all about Collingwood.

18 game season then some sort of final series with no bye.
I personally dont want any bye rounds finals included

Can Eddie let Jimmie talk?

Was thinking same thing
Shut up Eddie
He is th best self promotor I've ever heard
He is in love with himself
@@tomquinn823 yes like when Jimmy asked how would he improve the precinct when on MCG Trust .. rinse and repeat Eddie's irrelevant life story ... sigh

3:35 dumb comment there was a big crowd for the Hawks bulldogs game because it was the only game in Melbourne that weekend 😂😂😂😂😂
No solution? No break .. play final on Sunday first week. Have last byes late in season. Change the holiday to Monday. Done.
Does anyone know when tassie devils would get a vfl team is it 2025?

I don’t think Pope Paul was at the 1972 Eucharistic Congress. I think that was the biggest crowd at the ground though.

Does anyone ever notice how Eddie is always right

Adopt the American way, top couple teams get first week bye then single elimination until gf. It’s an easier model once wildcards get introduced 😊
Build eddie a statue 😅😅
