TRANSCRIPT

McGuire: In fact I reckon we should start the campaign for a one-person slide next year. Caroline Wilson. And I'll put in ten grand straight away - make it twenty. [laugher] And if she stays under, fifty. [laugher]

What do you reckon guys? Who else is up there? I know you're in JB?

James Brayshaw: No, yep, Straight in.

Danny Frawley: I'll be in amongst it Ed.

McGuire: Is Duck there?

Wayne Carey: Yes, I'm here mate.

McGuire: Duck's in. Danny's in - already spoken up.

Frawley: Yeah I'm in Ed.

McGuire: I could do an auction here today.

Frawley: I'll actually jump in and make sure she doesn't - I'll hold her under, Ed.

McGuire: I reckon we could charge 10 thousand for everyone to stand around the outside and bomb her.

Damien Barrett: I'm on Caro's side now, Ed. I'm on Caro's side these days, Ed.

[indecipherable]

McGuire: She'll burn you like everyone else, mate. She's like the black widow. She just sucks you in and gets you and you start talking to her and then bang! She gets you.

Brayshaw: If you ran that auction from down there, I reckon you'd start grabbing some bids out of the seats too. There'd be money piling in everywhere

McGuire: It's be magnificent. I think we should do that next year. It's all good for footy.

Brayshaw: Bloody oath.

"The image of a woman being held under water against her will while people jump on her body is a horrifying picture of violence. It is nothing less," Sydney journalist Erin Riley wrote in her blog.

lol stupid cretin. You dont actually jump on someone when you bomb them

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

So Rank!

Frawley was totally pathetic.

McGuire proved the King Kong incident was no fluke and he is actually a bigot.

But then, who honestly listens to "The Rub" anyway?

[sugark]

Another appalling cover up by Gil and head office, the Eddie McGuire comments were last Monday and Gil waits until Sunday night to condemn them!

It would have looked farcical if he had of addressed the comments immediately and then announced his decision to award Collingwood a female licence. The football public who keep this competition financial and the very people you're going to rely on to support the women's league, don't deserve to be treated this way.

It's time Gil either operated as a fair dinkum CEO or move on, this is as disgraceful act of boys club than the actual incident itself.

The uproar would have been huge so Gil decides to protect his decision.

Very poor Gil, very poor

So women are now like blacks, if you say something derogatory about them it must be some sort of prejudice, therefore so you cannot dislike them? we must like someone just because they are black and now we must like someone because they are a woman?

If they had said the same thing about a muck raking male journo no one would have batted an eyelid.

No time for any of the dick heads involved, but stuff me sideways.

[Stalin]

Was forced to listen the apology today

God shoot me 

[Damo]

Politically correct Australia has gone mad

Just wondering if you had the plot at any point during that nonsensical rambling?

[Yeahright]

Is it on SEN, if so I know someone who does

quite simple really, not that I'd expect anyone who embraces this PC crap like a long lost, rich realative, to get the gist of it.

[Francois Jackson]

nice to see peggy sue open your mouth for once and have a say about this. I wouldnt have expected anything else from her and o'brien.

how about you say something about our pathetic club you idiot.

[one-eyed]

DISMAYED rival clubs have hit out at the “irresponsible” comments made by Collingwood’s Eddie McGuire and North Melbourne James Brayshaw in which they “joked” about drowning football journalist Caroline Wilson.

Richmond president Peggy O’Neal said sports clubs must use their “privileged position” to stop violence against women.

“We at Richmond have promoted gender equality for many years and it is a key value of our club,” O’Neal told the Herald Sun.

“We are dismayed that anyone in a senior position in an AFL club would make irresponsible comments about women in the football community and fail to see the ‘joke’.

“The link between gender inequality and domestic violence is well known and all AFL clubs must use their privileged position as elite sporting organisations to stop the violence.”

[Damo]

Julie Bishop and Jeff Kennett have it right

[Penelope]

This whole thing is just mental.

Here's a bit of perspective.

" My kids often skylark in our pool with their mates, they wrestle and fight, often dunking each other (forcing someone's head under water, for the ignorant). their intent is not to drown each other, there is no real malice. They also often bomb each other, or anyone in the pool for that matter. It doesn't worry me, why should it, we did the same things as kids.

what does worry me, is the bombardment of adds for betting they have to endure when we watch the footy. to them it is normal, something I never had to endure when younger. It concerns me that when discussing games they talk about the prospective teams betting odds, that they are told that betting on a games makes it better.

It seems that i have a different set of principles to the AFL and Gill the Dill, they probably think i am a bad father"

In times like this my morals are guided by whatever is worse for Collingwood.
