He's definately not a Saint.

Far from it.

Personally I found the article patronising.

He's a mad, mad keen Collingwood fan. To the bone.


Clueless and mediocre petty tyrant.

I'd go one further and suggest he's a total f***wit.

A St Kilda premiership improbable? Geez, at the start of the year you could have put money on it, according to a lot of these clowns. Why aren't we flavour of the month all the sudden, now it's looking like we'll probably at least make the GF??? Tolls, the lot of 'em.

Jake Niall was the first journo to jump off us half-way through the season.
A big article saying how over-rated and crap we are.
This piece made me want to kill him.... the Saints have a 'tawdry glamour' the Bulldogs are 'probably more honourable'.
My intense loathing for him stems from the article he wrote last year after the Baker/Farmer incident...basically saying of course Bakes hit him and got what he deserved.
He's the pits.

Glad to see some sense being posted on this site by people who probably never met him.

Used to go to the footy annually back in the 90's as he was a mate of some Collingwood friend to catch the Saints v Collingwood game. On one occassion I came within an inch of a full on punch on over a comment about Harvey not being a shade on Buckley. I was told to respect the fact that he got emotional at the footy and everyone had to be wary of this. Talk about wearing your ego on your shoulders.

Anyway, this bloke is as black and white as the come and never misses a chance to 'patronise' the saints. A classic example of a journo Eddy would use in the field to say what he wants.

Sounds like a real top bloke...glad we all got him summed up without the 'pleasure' of having to meet him in person. It's one thing to have an opinion, but to print a load of smarmy shite, patronising two hard working and worthy clubs (at least one of them being absolutely brilliant, of course) says a lot about his character.

Goes without saying, I hope 20/1 comes to fruition and prick is forced to write an article on which of these two loser teams he prefers to take out the flag!
