Biography

Eddie McGuire's career began when he was 14, working as an junior AFL statistician for the Melbourne Herald Sun. His first television work began as a sport journalist at Network Ten, and later sport presenter for Eye Witness News. In February 1994, Eddie joined Channel Nine as a sports commentator and was appointed as host for a new sports program The Footy Show (1994), which was trialling for four weeks. Initially, The Footy Show (1994) was meant to be a serious observation of Aussie Rules football but on the day before the first show, Channel Seven -- who had the football coverage rights -- pulled the pin for the Nine Network to use any football vision on the show. A blessing in disguise. In true Channel Nine style, talent was flown from around the world to change this small sports show into a full scale entertainment program in one day. Who would have thought it would lead to over a decade of hilarious live television? The Footy Show (1994) has won numerous awards and has destroyed any rival programs. In fact, the show was so successful an NRL (The Footy Show (1994)) edition was created in Sydney within a year. In 1999, Ed's versatility was noticeable when he took the reigns of Channel Nine imported show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (1999). In 2002, the show won a logie for Most Popular Game show. Just a kid from Broady? I doubt it.

The Footy Show is a Logie Award winning Australian sports television program, shown on the Nine Network and its affiliates. The show, which is dedicated to the Australian Football League (AFL) and Australian rules football, made its debut on 24 March 1994 at the same time as the other version which relates to the National Rugby League and rugby league. Although both programs are generally broadcast in the same time slot, as both are shown in distinct geographical regions according to areas where one or the other sport predominates, there is little confusion.

Plenty have had an opinion on the colourful football career of Dane Swan. In fact in 258 games, the 2011 Brownlow Medallist created probably just as many headlines. It all came to an end in 2016 when Swan suffered a foot injury that would go on to end his famous ride in the Black and White. And throughout the season, Collingwood Media was there for every step.

Collingwood Football Club, the most famous sporting club in Australia. Despite being the major headliner through the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, Collingwood had not tasted the ultimate success since 1958. The Road to Victory has been tough and laced with emotion and ridicule... for 32 years. In 1990 however, the hoodoo was finally broken. The Road to Victory follows the build up throughout the season, and the ultimate success and scenes of unbridled joy as the most loved and hated football club took the grand prize at last.
