[andana]

My Collingwood mates won't reply to my texts, emails, tweets, carrier pigeons, morse code or telegrams! What have missed?

telex, flag semaphore, fax. This is more where they are at.

AFL Trade Radio they really treated him like sh*t.

He sounds like he's got a point to prove and really wants to give them the middle finger with what he might achieve over his career for us.

Guys on Foxtel a little harsh on Stephenson with what he said. I think that he was honest and while he disagreed with one part of the criticism, he was open and accepting of the football side. I am sure he isn't a rocket scientist, but he at least comes across as genuine.

The implosion on the Collingwood board is so delicious

 

[showusyacunningt]

Stephenson is a tremendous get at that price. We've got a lot of good young mid/fwd types, I'd argue none of them have the forward craft Stephenson possesses.

 

[G0ther00s]

I’m astounded by how well Stephenson is talking and presenting himself. Not what I was expecting at all, he seems like a very smart guy and I think we’ve picked up an absolutely beauty at a steal of a price. Very excited.

He is getting bombarded by these guys. Lloydy is asking all the questions we want to ask too.
Good interview

 

[Devington]

They were shopping him before even talking to him about it? And when confronted Bucks said it was because 'he hadn't opened up to the group'?

Jesus christ what the **** are collingwood doing. They've ****ed their cap and their person management seems to have reverted to when Bucks first took over AKA it's ****ign shiiiiiiiiiiit.

I have ZERO doubt now that Bucks told Treloar the other players wanted him gone, or something very very close to that.

Looking forward to reading it tonight. Beats TV.

 

[remfan101]

Good to see Buckley's worked on his people skills, really shows.

 

[Rad Roo]

Now we can deliver the final blow by cheaply trade for adam trelor if the bulldog falls through.

3rd rounder and future 2nd for trelor and we need pick 33 back...

 

[pupstar]

Our biggest achievement so far has been attracting 4 players to our club after finishing 17 and having no senior coach. And the 2 players we lost were basically pushed out the door. My only gripe so far has been the BBB compensation.

Dont think we would have ever pushed Higgo out the door. Mutual agreement would be a better term for Higgo.

 

[Tas]

Hmmm, went to the Collingwood forum... www.bigfooty.com is currently unable to handle this request.

Yep...

 

[trooroo4life]

Stevo sounds like a ripper, and my take from those interviews is he has a massive fire in the belly to prove them wrong now.

[The Lone Latic]

The meltdown on the Pies board was entertaining if anyone needed a laugh

 

[giantroo]

 

[Moti]

Dees do manage to get the pick trading well. They will get Essendon's pick 8.

 

[giantroo]

The Lions get to death ride the dees.

 

[Rad Roo]

Any doubts about our new regime has all but burnt away with our shrewd recruitment.

Got Corr to come to us should be considered a masterstroke as he is a structural.

Young could be an inspired choice to replace a small fast defender. He cost us almost nothing.

Atu and Stephenson could be the game breaker with their speed.

Then we add someone like Holland then we will have set an excellent core list.

We then pump as much games into them quite phasing out the likes of Atley, Hall, Tyson, Anderson, Dumont, Ziebell and finally Cunnington over the next couple of years. The current crop is probably our best young list since the early 90s.

Just been reading it, so hard to not rub it in

 

[Horizons_00]

Quite strange this thread. A lot of posters were saying no ****ing way to Stephenson or “he’s soft” blah blah but now seem stoked

What a roller coaster of emotions this year has been

 

[Tas]

Melbourne has been back-ending the draft for the last three years.

 

[Snake_Baker]

****ing deplorable.

Collingwood supporters should lynch Buckley & McGuire and burn the Lexus centre to the ground. They have been shafted badly.

 

[Agenda 21]

Epic melts on bigfooty, the last few hours.

Site crashed, for a while.

I was super excited, if it didn't require a first round pick, pretty stoked, more than made up for the disappointment of Brown.
