I'm not an Eddie fan by any stretch, but if you listen to what Eddie said he did answer the question. He said if a supporter was in financial trouble he could ring their club and they'd sort it out (i.e. refund their money). What Eddie was trying not to do was create a situation where everyone starts demanding a refund which would likely be the end of some clubs.

upsidedahead why would you agree with that rant? He's trying to avoid refunding people money for tickets he can't supply.
This was a loaded question. If he had answered "yes" then we'd have a massive rush of members pulling their money and a lot clubs would fall over. If he had answered "no", then he is made to look like a greedy S.O.B. Eddie was trying to explain if you have financial hardship, call your club and sort it out, (no different to calling the power company or phone company if you are not going to make the due date and sort out some type of arrangement), and organize a refund. But what he was also trying to say is if you can keep supporting the clubs financially with memberships, please do. I could imagine the editing if he had said yes, they'd (nine9) would have only played that and left out the rest of the message out. Eddie was screwed from the start.

Members make a club, well if they want out let them have it. No debate.
Okay then fair enough, then increase the grand final tickets to all the members only. No corporate etc, not just around 16,000 for each team roughly. If the members are such an important group for clubs and clubs need them then do it simple. That’s one suggestion.
The health of people is bigger than any sport. Afl and Eddie and anyone else just be told

Sounds like he will give people their memberships back but he just doesn't want to state it directly on television because he knows it could lead to a sudden influx of people asking for their money back. Because he knows the people who desperately need their money back won't need an invitation to ask. He just doesn't want a large chunk of the members all asking for a refund at the same time. I don't really blame him but he could have executed it better cause dodging the question just makes him look bad.

I see Eddie's point. There isn't a straightforward answer. However, what does the membership contract typically say about refunds? That has to be a relevant consideration.
@nicholaslibertyrx5322
4 жыл бұрын
There is a straightforward answer. Its either yes or no. Membership contracts would not have covered corona virus or the cancellation of the season. You will find that Australian contract law says that if you dont provide a service someone has paid for, they are entitled to a refund by law. What the clubs and facebook pages are doing (both NRL and AFL) is trying to shame members who are asking about possible refunds. ItsEddie big bucks to not worry about a few hundred dollars but i know members were both bread earners now have no job. Its a bit rich when people on hundreds of thousand of dollars a year in their Toorak mansion ask people who dont know if they will have food on their table or a roof over their head in a couple of months time not ask for much needed money back

Another 6 mins 35 seconds & Eddie still didn't answer the question.. You keep claiming you answered the question Eddie but you simply danced around it. AGAIN...
Crap question TJ and you got your headline.
Sorry but the way Eddie answered the question made it bigger than it was, this was all on him how it has turned out. Instead of answering directly he chose to put on a plead to the public and not directly answer yes or no, Eddie if a member says they are in financial trouble will you refund their membership yes or no? Instead you say we are all in this together and will look after them, does that mean no you wont refund their money but try helping in another way? You created this storm Eddie, I agree with you members and clubs need to stick together and plead after answering correctly what was asked for member to stick with the club but to go straight to the plead and avoid answering made you look selfish. I agree with your thoughts about it all Eddie but you need to answer the actual question not dodge around it like a politician, clubs are hurting we understand but members are hurting also and some will find themselves suffering from mental health issues because of this epidemic which frankly I find a more important issue than the survival of a football club.

Congratulations Caro she is the only journalist willing to take Eddie on.
Really interesting point Eddie brings up, that a membership is an investment in the club, not a transaction where you give money in retun for goods and/or services. I'm not sure every member thinks the way Eddie is hoping they do. I'm sure some do, and I'm sure many do to a degree, but a membership is a product and the clubs (through no fault of their own) are not providing the product.

Eddie McGuire will always be remembered as being totally UnAustralian during one of the most important times in our nation’s history.
RICHMOND SUPPORTER HERE: I agree with Eddie on this one but let’s call a space a space. He didn’t answer that question because the answer may be ‘NO’. And that’s understandable. What Eddie probably should have said more clearly is that it’s possible to get your money back but on a case by case basis as the club also has to safeguard the sport with all its employees. Would any supporter really want to come AFL 2021 without a team? Of course not. If the club was ask last year by some members to get their money back, they probably wouldn’t hesitate. But this year is like none before.

Carlton supporter and don't like Ed but, he is spot on with his answere to this question. Better question is why aren't people asking for refunds from the government which run into the hundreds of billions of taxpayers money that has been waisted by various governments for decades. They are only giving out more "borrowed" money for which Australian taxpayers will pay off themselves for decades. Where are the trillions of missing / waisted taxes when Australia needs it?
If a member wants their money back then give it back. If they don’t ask for it then keep it. End of story! Clubs can’t tell me what my money is good for when they can’t provide the service I paid for. Why is it good for them and not for me?

Noticed how carefully he treads saying the club will look after you not offer you are refund if struggling wish cash.

Come on Eddie. Stop making it an emotional decision. Emotional decisions are the kind of ones where people act stupidly. Let people make informed decisions. I say that as an Essendon member who (currently) will not be asking for a refund.
Eddie states "the football club is owned by the members, not private industry". It's a pity the breakdown of Grand final attendances don't reflect that! Nothing worse than seeing so many neutrals on the one day that matters the most to the two competing clubs.
Eddie should be a politician,never answers a question,
McGuire is just a bland hot head. The amount of times he has to mop up things he's said is testament.
He wasn’t picking a fight
It's a simple as this they're trying to buy a product in a membership where they have certain benefits such as getting into the games and supporting their Club that product has not been supplied regardless on the financial troubles of that club this is not about loyalty this is about money and buying a product that's what this is about if you cannot supply the product then they should refund the money those who don't want their money refunded good luck to you
electricity or footy membership... which one is the average punter keeping to get through this? People with stacks of money in the bank gathering more interest in a month than the average annual wage don't and never will get it.
Love Eddie's passion. Everyone demonized him for this. If you in a position to look after your AFL club that brings you so much joy. Do it. If you seriously can't afford it contact your club. I'm sure they will help you in some way.
If the clubs are run so poorly they there's nothing in the kitty to ride out the bad times, then they deserve to go under. Anybody who didnt receive consideration for their membership dollars should be asking for a refund.
Caro the biggest airhead with the most throw away comments

100% with Eddie, he is a passionate man who loves footy and the Collingwood football Club
Caroline Wilson’s ears are painted on, she never ever listen to the replies too her questions, she just talks over the top of each and everyone she speaks with. I have watched this show for many years because of her. I’m not particularly an Eddie fan either but at least he spoke with some common sense. It was very hard time back then! I’m glad we all got through it. Thank good we have channel 7 and fox. Haven’t watched any channel 9 footy shows for years.
Its amazing how money changes a persons characteristics
Jeeez it’s not hard to read between the lines . If you can afford to leave your money invested in your club looking at the bigger picture than do it. If your struggling to put food on the table then make the call. Keep it simple Eddie , you’ll save yourself a shitload of scrutiny
