Collingwood board meltdown gameday thread

[Bunk Moreland]

Are you happy with 4 flags since the Hindenburg exploded?

Has anybody made more GFs?

It’s quite an amazing thing, the Collingwood GF record.

Pies convert prelims to premierships like hookers convert punters to husbands. Happens on occassion.

I think on average they lose a GF every 4 years ....

collingwood has to clear clean out all positions then at seasons end have egm and all members vote on each and every position this is the only real way to doing it for the rest of the season just get graham wright to run it all then as soon as round 23 is over hold the long a waited EGM
Fed up with both mark korda and jeff brown they are both nothing.

like to see if elected by the members is Alisa Camplin to be president keen pies girl worked at collingwood before an actual athlete and knows her stuff shes a nice role model and someone to look up too and very successful in her life too and is young.

We are usually at the top of the ladder, but pressure builds over time, people stay too long and it comes to a head. Out last big upheaval was 1982, before that was 1974. But it always gets resolved and we move on. That’s our history.
Enjoy it bed wetters while you can.

Fact check: False.

In modern times - lets say since 1980, you've finished on top of the ladder only twice. This is worse than Essendon, Carlton, Geelong, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, Sydney & West Coast. You are tied with North, St Kilda, Richmond & Adelaide.

I would love to see Peter Daicos and Tony Shaw run the club. Two men are Collingwood to their absolute bootstraps.

You've won a single premiership in the last 30 years.

North and the Dogs have faced mergers/bankruptcy/relocation drama in that time and won as many or more flags.

With Collingwood's enormous structural financial advantage, the last 30 years have been an enormous failure.

We have also won one Premiership in the last 11 years. Funny how Maths works.

Isnt this what happens in history when a dictator leaves?

civil war breaks out cos all those minions who needed to be controlled with an iron fist run amuck

Listening a clip of Eddie sook and whine on Footy Classified last night, great stuff!

What was he whining about?

What was he whining about?

Oh noes an election! I do this, I do that, all to help Collingwood! The concerns of the members don't matter cos reasons! It's on YouTube.

Jeff Browne is so obviously a puppet with his strings being pulled by Eddie.

Very good analogy.

All bar two on our board are AFL planted, including Eddie’s CEO of JamTv. How conflicted is that?

Whilst Wanganeen promotes another teams game in Dreamtime.

Probably went bust if not for AFL intervention ten years ago. They have a right to protect their investment.

POTY

The only winner is Buckley.

He is extended either way.

If he’s smart he should just walk. Make the announcement now and state he’ll see out the year to orchestrate a smooth handover. He’ll enjoy a massive credibility boost. Then take a year off, take the new missus to Noosa for a while, with a bit of side work in the Ch 7 commentary box which he’ll get paid well for. A bit of good press from coaching the boys auskick teams.

In 12 months time another club will come calling if he wants to get back into it, and more than likely they’ll be closer to a flag than the pies.

But it took two attempts at winning it.. Take that flag out and you'd just about be Richmond

Why thankyou, comrade.

Does anyone care about this really aside from Collingwood supporters and the narcissists involved?

I mean sure, point and laugh at the rabble they have become, but there are more successful clubs that we should talk about.

You might not know how enjoyable this is for Victorian footy fans.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Graham Wright ch9 just now mentioning Pies will have some salary cap issues to deal with end of the year

What a shambles

Wait, what?
We are also enjoying watching Eddy and his goons hit the destruct button.

Eddy Eddy Eddy.
We tried to warn you that the karma bus would hit hard ....
