COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire became involved in an argument with the Magpie cheer squad on Sunday after a fight in which a woman was knocked out.
Tensions erupted when a woman was elbowed in the face as the Pies' season came to a shattering end against the Bulldogs.
McGuire went to the cheer squad after the final siren asking for Jeff ``Joffa'' Corfe.
After one member said there was more to the group than Joffa, words were exchanged.
McGuire told the Herald Sun yesterday he was simply trying to say goodbye to Joffa.
``I said I was here to say goodbye to a mate, that's all. But they kept going so I said: `Go and get stuffed','' McGuire said.
``I'd just had enough of them. It was a long day for us all.''
Cheer squad sources said the felled woman and her son had come down to the front to wave floggers because those in the squad's front row were not doing their job.
The woman was hit in the head and knocked to the ground.
