    A bit like what Arsene is doing at Arsenal. Actively trashing his own reputation and legacy.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Re: The Footy Show

    Bit of word about town re a "big announcement" on TFS tomorrow night..

    Might have something to do with a player or players coming out as gay...

    I'd hate one of those players to be a Collingwood player, as for me, it would cut right to Eddie McGuire's character and integrity.

    So many thoughts would come to mind in this scenario.. Conflict of interest, blatant exploitation of his position as a club insider to benefit he and his venture etc etc...

    Where do you begin, really?! Anyway, might not be true. Hope it isn't, because is would taint and cheapen what would be an historic and symbolic event.

    If it did happen, Eddie would be criticised, but would defend himself. He'd argue that the player received a fee and that everyone's a winner. His integrity would be debated publicly around Australia. Meanwhile everyone in Australia will be discussing Eddie and the Footy Show...

    .... Actually, the more I think of it, the more I convince myself it's almost a certainty to happen!!

    Re: The Footy Show

    My news is it is Tom Boyd. Touted as the main reason for his recent absence to work out an approach to the AFL and public. It will be interesting to see if what I've been told is true.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: The Footy Show

    To be honest it's non news .. Who cares about their private lives I just want to see footy and if the footy show makes an issue of this they are the lowest of lows.
    What's the next episode two footballers come out as hermaphrodites?
    I have a son and daughter and my advice would be don't come out on a Tv show saying your gay it's no ones business just enjoy life.
    I think the public accept everyone nowadays no matter what the sexual preference is , I work with all types of people and they are all treated the same no one gives a shit.
    The footy show is making it an issue. The public aren't.
    Bring back the biff

    I should clarify that a member of the football club said this to me, someone involved in banner making. I thought nothing of it at the time but Webby's post jolted my memory. Should probably be taken with a grain of salt.

    They certainly have no obligation to share and we have no right to know but if they did come out then however they did it would take a lot of courage. I just hope Australia doesn't let itself down in the response to that when it inevitable happens.

    I'd like to think that, but social media tells me that isn't the case.

    Re: The Footy Show

    This has been touted to be a big news story on TFS pretty much once a year for the last 5 years so I'm guessing it's again not true
