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

Adam Treloar has confirmed reports Nathan Buckley told him multiple senior players wanted him gone from the club.

SEN‘s Sam Edmund reported Buckley had told Treloar senior core group members didn’t want him around. However, Buckley refuted the claims on Twitter.

“Yeah it is what you read – that was told to me in no uncertain way,” he told reporters on Friday morning.

“That did hurt because I know how close I am with the players. To be told that when I don’t think that’s the truth and to be told that when I know the majority of players love me, that hurts a bit.

“I guess they were adamant on moving me on. No matter how they were going to go about it, it was going to happen.

“I’ve spoken to a number of players and the majority of players have sent me messages of love and support. I don’t think that was the truth, I don’t think that was the reality.

“I think they were up for a fight to move me on and anything was going to be said to move me on. I didn’t think that was the truth.”

What an absolute shambles

Reminds me of my primary school, school yard bitches, backstabbing and causing hurt.

That is just so sad to read. I am sorry for any member of any Club when Management do this to their members. Especially to hear the actual words come out of the mouth of the person it actually happened to. To confirm it actually happened....'no one likes you'. Awful stuff

Good luck to Buckley getting any respect from any of his players going forward from this day onwards.
 
Having heard Treloar speak on SEN, I think he's gained a lot of fans. It's not as if he didn't have them before, but he's handled this will class. You've got to feel for him the way his club has completely just discarded him.

This is the sort of stuff that kills a club's culture though, you can't be treating your players like shit and expect success. The people in charge at Collingwood are toxic.
 
The predictably sad thing has occurred with some Collingwood supporters; bad mouthing Stephenson now that he is out the door.

These people are the apologists that Bucks and Eddie will target with their justifications, all the while ignoring the elephant in the room; their ineptitude.

One of the main reasons no one else was knocking down their door for Stephenson is that not many (if any) Melbourne clubs had the cap space for him; added to which it all occurred pretty late in the piece. No one was expecting him to be on the market at the start of the trade period.
I got nothing but good words due all

Obviously one of the 2 is lying and given everything that's happened over the week my money is squarely on bucks talking shit, I am beyond mad at this shit show.

I am going to write another post, it was something I wrote many years ago and wrote it again directly to 360 but nothing came of it. This scenario has brought up the same feelings again.....post to come.

You cant be a success if others pay the price for your errors either.

Collingwoods 2020 has pretty much been a "**** up how much you like and we will have your back". If Im Steele Sidebototm im coming back a bloated alcholic for sure. Why wouldnt you? No ones gonna care or punish you for it so why not?
 
Well they kept Mason Cox. One good half of footy a year gets a Collingwood trigger clause.

It's a toxic culture top to bottom.

There's something seriously wrong with the way the club treats its fans too.
There is surely not a member with two brain cells that is buying what Ned Guy was putting out there yesterday, nor what Buckley and Eddie will spin.

Just another stellar decision amongst many this year.

A bit kind

At this stage Kim Jong Un is gonna call Eddie and ask if he borrow some culture for a bomb he is making

No wonder their cap was stuffed. If Cox can trigger a bonus/extension clause, imagine how triggers their actual good performing players would have set off.

I listened to the 19 minute interview at Whitten Oval, he was very thankful to his teammates and Collingwood fans. Surprisingly restrained and said he was disappointed that a lot of it played out publicly.
 
Buckley, Eddie and Ned should hang their collective heads in shame, the way they have treated loyal servants like Treloar and Stephenson. No spin will soften the blow or change the fact Collingwood f’ed up big time.
Agree but please don’t paint Stevo as a loyal servant. This guy bet on his own performances showing complete disrespect to his club and team mates. He showed very little remorse except for a scripted media conference, then had the gall to have the shits with the player who dobbed him in. Everyone makes mistakes but given all the education these guys get it’s virtually unforgivable to bet on yourself
 
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.
Wouldn't be surprised if his lawyer is quietly sitting by taking notes on Bullying, Reputation damage and Pain and Suffering.
 
Maybe managing the salary cap isn’t quite the doodle people seem to think , I mean apparently Freo is hard up against ffs.... haven’t done a thing for 5 years

If it was move some players on or get hit for sanctions I get it but that doesn’t excuse the way it all went down

Lots of fans (not so much here, and not just Pies) showing how they view a traditional marriage by blaming Kim for pursuing her career.

No reason why she can't, obviously mutually agreed for her to go and Adam to stay, probably only for 12 months. She gave up her career to have a baby while Adam didn't have to stop but people just for some reason think she should stay or Adam should go...

I think if the Pies were just honest, it'd be easier to accept. Clubs **** up. Bad contracts are regrettable.

But then to hide behind lies and accuse the media of lying, only for it to seem as though McClure was getting his news direct from Treloar, all while the Pies did their best Iraqi impersonation

Yep spot on

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.

It's the most transparent spin of all time. Even Pies fans who claimed there was no cap issue must surely be awake now. Phillips for 65 is not getting back into the draft or rejuvenating a list...

he clearly recognises that it was a failure of the management and coaching staff, and that some of the players and most of the fans are feeling hurt and put off by it.

Fair enough
 
It is the main reason I don't watch any of them on the box, the football media end up talking about the same topics on different shows but worded differently.

It is almost like they ring up Eddie to see what they are allowed to talk about or to get ideas from Eddie on what he wants brought up.

It is the beauty of living in Brisbane, don't have to read it or watch it.

Best thing about Big Footy , everyone’s agenda is clear as day in that little box on the left
