He was being deliberately ironic, and you fell in.
You are giving credit where it does not necessarily belong.

Meaning exactly what?
"Severed all ties"
Yeah this doesn’t sit well with me at all
Arguably our greatest ever player doesn’t want anything to do with us

So what does the article entail you posted.
Super great player no doubt but both he and Tyson seem a bit like primma donnas to me on face value.

Seems a bit misleading tbh. Makes it sound like bridges have burnt.
I don’t see any evidence of that apart from he longer works for the club.
Relationship doesn’t seem great though.

Sorry what was new in that article?
Macca's biggest issue was with the AFC management. He criticised them and rather than listening to what he had to say he was told he would no longer be involved with the club in anyway. Now I dont know what truly went on but I can just see the AFC board and senior management saying "well if you dont like us move on because we ain't gonna change". Macca also mentioned that the club 's management was questioned in last years internal report but they simply refuse to accept the critiquing. This remains the one area of the club that still needs to be addressed.
I understand and accept that no one player is greater than the club but when your best ever player (a man who doesnt bullshit) stands up and says things need to be fixed then I reckon things need to be fixed. I also believe from what I have read on here that most supporters would agree....things in our senior management need to be fixed by moving on some of the dead wood that appear to put the footy department's needs secondary to people protecting their arse's.
After all we are a footy club and we need a strong culture and our history forms part of developing that culture. What kind of a signal has the club just sent to our players. Many of them would be very fearful of being pushed out if they saw something and criticised club. For me its not a good look.

I guess the fact that they have now officially severed all ties.
Prior to that I believe he was still heavily involved in our indigenous program

What were the ties?
He has never been a grand stander
Well McLeod coaching AFLW was rubbed out in favour of Thommo
The McLeod Centre of Excellence programs for Indigenous youth have also been axed.

Wasn't one of Olsen's first tasks supposed to be reaching out to McLeod to try and smooth things over?
Fcuking Olsen. If Olsen is the answer to anything, the question is pretty fcuked up.

In all reality he’s not going to win us a flag nor his offspring so he doesn’t serve much of a purpose, if he’s gone feral on us.
Think Indigenous programs was one area some clubs chose to cut back on. Port let Paul Vandenbergh go and he's done a lot of good work for them while he was at their club.
I heard Vandenbergh speak the other day. He chose to leave after a long time in the seat but is still intimately involved in their indigenous program and will continue to be.
Geez, you see, I quite like you, but at times you say some dumb shit mate.In all reality he’s not going to win us a flag nor his offspring so he doesn’t serve much of a purpose, if he’s gone feral on us.

I’m reactionary. I just can’t work out if the club is rotten to the core or some of the ex players are just hard work.
It’s not really an inclusive club, It’s probably too big to be that. The whole Edwards, Mcleod, Hewitt thing seems to have dragged on for 20 years. I’m happy to see the end of it.
