Dear Eddie,
You came to Collingwood when the club was on its knees – just ten years after their historical drought-breaking 1990 flag, the club was now a wooden spooner, struggling financially, and rudderless.
You poached premiership coach Mick Malthouse from his West Coast contract, and rebuilt Collingwood into an off-field powerhouse. Share
You had to oversee the heartbreak of the 2002–03 grand final losses but, amazingly, after just two years out of the finals, the club was already trending back upwards. Despite losing a swath of experienced champions over 2007–09, Collingwood made the preliminary final in 2009, and won the flag in 2010.

McGuire issues blunt warning to Port Adelaide after prison bar jumper stunt
By
Former Collingwood President Eddie McGuire has responded to Port Adelaideâs prison bar jumper stunt.
With the AFL denying the Powerâs request to wear the jumper in Saturday nightâs home Showdown against Adelaide, Port players decided to change into the heritage strip post-match to sing the team song after their 49-point win.
As perhaps the most vocal figure against the use of the famous jumper at AFL level, McGuire was asked what his thoughts were at half-time of Sundayâs Hawthorn v West Coast game at the MCG.
