Vale Ron Barassi

[i'm-uninformed2]

My aunty told me tonight that after Colless finished speaking, Eddie made some dig at the Swans. Something like they should be investigated by ASIC. Is this true? If so that is so disrespectful to Barassi.

I hate Eddie as much as anyone, but it was a joke after another joking reference Colless made in his speech to the lack of ASIC records re Barassi’s retirement as a director.

No fan of McGuire but there was zero malice in his comments this time.

Thanks...I'm glad that Eddie didn't do another Eddie. My aunt's dislike of McGuire probably took over and she misinterpreted the comment.

There's a lot of mental scar tissue with all of us in relation to the rubbish he has spouted about the Swans over the years.
