Injury 2024 Injury Report/Updates

I doubt that he’ll be back unfortunately.

What makes you say that?

What makes you say that?

I think he will be back. Just earning a break from football/ work.

Your note has a Fritzl vibe about it, arent you holidaying in Europe?

 

[No SPIN]

I doubt that he’ll be back unfortunately.

If he had no intention of returning then I doubt he would have accepted the offer of a Sabbatical.
He would have rejected it outright, and said he didn’t want to return to the Club.

He was out the door at Xmas and they then came up with this sabbatical idea which I think is just leaving the door open for him if he wants to come back.

My bet is that he won’t.

 

[live fast pieyoung]

And that is why we need a smart and fully invested footy manager
Wright either signs for next 3-4 years or we need a quality replacement very quickly as this list needs major restoration

Ned guy?

(I'll see myself out)

I think he’s going.
The man offered his resignation.
Unlikely to come back from that.
Hopefully the club get aggressive and find a good replacement

People generally don’t come back when they make up their mind to go.

As I said at the time I think the sabbatical thing was just thrown out there as a means to appease the members and supporters.

I totally respect your opinion Kirby.
I personally feel he will be back.
Let's see.

Just thinking it was the break that he and his wife needed.
Once in a lifetime

Terribly disappointing to lose him after just two years at the helm and us being the club he won a flag with, you'd hope he felt a smidge of emotional connection with Collingwood.

He needs to spend time with his wife which is more important for him. Good on him. Hope he comes back.

I hope you’re right and that he comes back.

Do we know if he made up his mind to go, or that he made up his mind to take the wife on an extended holiday in Europe during the northern summer and that he felt he needed to resign to enable that? I've always thought it was the later, and that that was more about doing the honourable thing rather than any desire to actually leave.

Yeah I think your understanding is probably the right one. I accept that it was the desire to take the trip that led to the decision.

However, my thoughts are that in coming to the decision to quit in order to take the trip is such a change in mindset that it is probably difficult to come back from. It indicates to me that with the premiership he felt his job was done.

My suspicion is that he won’t have the motivation to take up the reins again.

I hope I’m wrong and that he’s 100% motivated and returns.

You’d have to believe that he was being disingenuous with the Club if your suspicions are correct. Which I can’t buy.
If he wasn’t returning, I feel he would have declined the sabbatical to allow plenty of time for the Club to find a replacement.

Why didn’t you move the post to the right thread where my response would have been appropriate?

You can copy the post you are replying to and put in the right thread.

Your previous post should have been a clear directive - “please use the correct thread for discussion on GW.”
Then I would have known it was from a mod, and not just another poster having a whinge.

Any insight into Charlie Dean re injury from VFL on the weekend?

Any word on Dean and Smit yet?

Roo was training. Dean wasn't.
