Something is on the nose...and it's Collingwood

[RandB]

Pert got out at a good time.

 

[ThatsjustDappa]

The Pies have channeled full Adelaide on this one, they're done for next year....


Good to see Eddie and Walsh on Eddies radio show being all chummy, haven't seen anything like this since that Kerry Packer love in interview on his own TV channel.......

How is Buckley’s position tenable after that Treloar quote?

“...also, your mates hate you and reckon you should leave too...so ya know...leave yeah?...”

It did work I guess.

When coupled with Stephenson’s “you haven’t opened up enough to the other players..”, either Buckley has decided to make things up completely or....

....perhaps the leadership among the players at Collingwood aren’t great at having direct conversations with other players? Maybe they aren’t very good leaders and prefer to be everyone’s mate instead?

Maybe they prefer an outward appearance and reputation as highly respected nice guys?

 

[Altum Volantes]

^ That said....I think Treloar will ultimately be paraphrasing.

The reality is, if Buckley went to the likes of Pendlebury and said “mate, you know we’ve been working through this stuff with Adam, and I know he’s a good bloke but that deal he signed has the club in a really tight spot moving forward, throw in the shit with Beamer and we need a way out for the good of the club over the next few years. Adam’s misso is going to be up in Queensland next year so he probably won’t be at his best and you know, clocks ticking mate, we’ve gotta make tough calls and we feel that it might be a good time for Adam to move on - it’s the best thing for the club right now”

Pendlebury would have a hard time saying ‘nah keep him! You have to honour that contract!”. He’d probably agree that it might be the best thing to do.

A settled admin, settled & competent.
Everyone makes mistakes, managing the mistake will require a team effort.

Team effort isnt true

In real life you can only throw people under a bus one at a time

It's tenable due to Eddie.

So at the moment you have the Pies embroiled in racism, misogyny and workplace bullying accusation.

2020 is a tough year for Pies fans.....

2020 only?

Where have you been for the last 100 years

I think you forgot the ongoing sexual assault case.....

Buckley has obviously read The Prince and its made an impression on him.

He applies the principles ineffectively and very poorly though.

 

[theyellowsash]

Performance clauses - they kept kicking the can down the road, and it's finally come to a head.
They way they have handled the player exits though has been woeful, and to pretend this is "to get back into the draft" is insulting to football fans who don't buy spin. Pies fans are justifiably angry.

This. You can understand the salary cap getting in trouble to an extent. Players meeting clauses they thought had no chance, unexpected improvement etc.

But it's the way they handled it which has been disgusting. Imagine blaming the whole thing on a players partner.

 

[Borisdog]

Can you imagine the screaming if what was done to Treloar by his employer had actually been done to a woman because of what her husband was doing?

I'd venture if this happened in the non-sporting world there'd be a very juicy legal case.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

If only they'd just fess up and tell the members that they screwed the cap and were forced to move players out reluctantly.

All the bullshit about wanting to hit the most compromised draft of all time, and the "the media just want something to talk about" is driving Pie fans insane, and I can't blame them. The spin has been diabolical from Walsh, Guy and Eddie.

I've never seen a club get it so wrong, so badly.

dont try on the 'mens rights movement' crap.

 

[TedDougChris]

Completely gutless and cowardly behaviour from the management team at Collingwood....

No spine, no backbone or integrity whatsoever....

 

[Borisdog]

Merely an observation. But you could try some punctuation.

They had a pretty good year in 2010 !.

 

[calman]

Eddie is fast becoming like John Elliott at Carlton
Great at the start, but towards the end drinking thier own bathwater and making decisions that actually hurt the club
to have to pay 300k a year to watch treloar play at another club for 5 years is beyond incompetant

Machiavelli an essential read for anyone in leadership

if youre going to have a go at someone for punctuation, at least use proper full sentences.

Keep trying, it was certainly a better effort than your last one.

Essendon circa 2012 say helloooooooo....

[BrisGirl]

Honestly think Eddie needs to go now. Times Up
