Comedy gold from he of the ever-expanding head, Collingwood Football Club president Eddie “Boney M” McGuire, addressing his troops in the wake of the recent drink-driving scandal involving key players Heath Shaw and Alan Didak:
On Monday (Eddie) McGuire lectured Collingwood players about their responsibilities and highlighted how much sacrifice club officials, including himself, had made.
It is believed Mr McGuire indicated being president had cost him “four or five” Gold logies.
My valve!

As if he wasn’t compensated. Instead of Gold Logies to shove up his arse, Buckley filled the post, so to speak.

Hearts fucking bleed, Fattie.
ps/- Which valve, Ant?

By spending so much time writing for Grods, I have probably cost myself four or five Walkleys.

Because GrodsCorp is always ignored by The Walkleys we’re going to launch an award called The Grods Award. Just like News Ltd. did because they are ignored too.

Oooh. I can’t wait to be nominated for my first ‘Grodsy’.

I’m already writing my acceptance speech.

You’ll have 15 seconds before The Editor cues the music.

Ed, great idea — but surely you have to call the awards The Grodsleys.

You’ll have 15 seconds before The Editor cues the music.
15 seconds? OK, I’ll just leave the Ed out of the thank-you’s.

By the way, I’m avoiding Grodsthink recordings to build up mystery and tension. I’m keeping the audience hungry, not over-saturating them like you lot.
On the day I attend, I’ll expect the fanfare from Jesus Christ, Superstar.

Gold.

I simply can’t believe Eddie didn’t have his tongue in his cheek when he said that; it’s just too bizarre.
Still, that won’t stop me taking the piss.
Wednesday 6 August 2008, 10:56 am #The Editor
Oh, and when Bridgit does finally attend a GrodsThink we’ll make that the last episode out of respect.
Wednesday 6 August 2008, 11:20 am #Bridgit Gread
Great, now I’ll be flooded with requests/demands to attend one so that they come to an abrupt halt.
Tony T, I’m sure it was said as a joke - but from what I hear about Eddie, I’m sure it wasn’t too far removed from sincere belief.

My mum would be sad if they stopped.
Just saying.

I suppose I could sponsor an award for leftist oppression of free speech…
as long as it had a swim suit section

It goes without saying.

Eddie’s a tonic, isn’t he?
Looking forward to the Grodsleys. Or is this it?

If Eddie actually won a gold logie I bet you my trusty groat he’d employ that bad boy in and out of his arse at a medium pace.
