This story demonstrates (like we didn’t know already) how little regard Damian Barrett has for facts.

Comical interview where McLachlan reckons Ablett and Kennedy 'liked' Israel Folou's tweet instinctively without realising what it was about! Full of piss and wind. You couldn't make this up. Surely he can come up with something better than this.

He is the last person who should be running this league.....a moron of the highest order.

Notice article in Melbourne press today about ' covert' visit by McLachlan to US to explore streaming opportunities. Typical puff piece by journo Sam McLure who will no doubt be rewarded with some scoops down the track. Melbourne media wank.

This is amusing! Eddie is calling the Western Derby this weekend on Foxtel which has made FRONT PAGE news in the Western Australian with big bold headline "ED ALERT!"

Tabloid media and integrity are strangers to each other.

You can take the boy out of Broady but you can't take the Broady out of the boy = Bogan. Serial offender and can't wait for his next gaff.

Went on AFL website and watched last 2 minutes of game. Eddy Magoo was calling it. Very ordinary footy broadcaster. Was with his mate, Dermie, honorary vice president of the Melbourne Boys Club.

“It was an unfortunate sequence of events.”

Yes, Eddie, because you were talking...

And yes, Eddie, just because you were born, due to an unfortunate sequence of events (which cannot be repeated on this website), why does Australia have to suffer from a collective post natal depression?

“It was an unfortunate sequence of events.”

Yes, Eddie, because you were talking...

And it was unfortunate that somebody gave him a microphone.

Charlie Gardiner was on SEN this morning He sounded a lot more polished than when I first heard him, in fact he sounded like a Tom Harley clone! They bought up Eddie's coin crossing remarks again and you can tell from Charlie's demeanoured response that the club is still very angry and pointing out Cynthia Banham is still upset about it. Appears the club and Cynthia have not accepted Eddie's apology, most likely due to Eddie's past form and also probably not happy with the lack of action from the AFL on Eddie, as the club as initially pushing.

Here is the story of yesterday's SEN interview with Charlie Gardiner, except they've mistaken Charlie for Tom Harley! It was definitely Charlie as he was introduced as such by Whately. During the same interview Dermie had recounted a 2006 match where Gardiner was playing on a young Buddy, who kicked an amazing goal on Gardiner which left him stunned. Gardiner remembered that goal very clearly as he ended up with a torn hamstring as a result!

Magnificent! Thanks for posting dimelb !

I'll be calling him Eddie Magoo from now on.

Which was the same problem with his Goodes gaffe. His first apology was a non-apology. He finally managed something close to an unqualified apology late in the evening, but only after we'd had to put up with him on every footy news show justifying why the comment wasn't really his fault. Had he just put out a proper apology in a written statement straightaway, and then withdrawn from his broadcasting duties for a period of time (given that he attributed his blunder to being tired and overworked), it would have been much easier to forgive him.

You'd think he'd have had enough practice apologising by now to get it right first time.

For those non-techies, I thought I let you know that Eddie has one of those new fandangled Robo-apologisers, specially designed for gaffeholics.

IMO, Eddie needs to get his reprogrammed with the Kevin Rudd version 2.0

Good article in Age this morning likening Eddie to Mr Magoo! Malcolm Knox I think.
