I was referring to an AFL club.
On the news...
Collingwood supporters are enraged and demand answers..
Well done to their fans,
kick up the biggest stink because this situation is really really on the nose and no club, big or small should treat their players in such a cold blooded, callous, unprofessional manner.

The question I asked was a rhetorical question. It's pretty obvious that he has been terrible for Melbourne. Anyone that saw it as an actual question is obviously living in La La Land.
I'm not sure if you are aware, but the NT game was allocated by the AFL to Melbourne, they got no revenue for it. The AFL, Gold Coast, and the NT have done a deal to set up NT as a zone for Gold Coast to get priority players from. Pert didn't get Melbourne out of the NT, the AFL replaced the Melbourne game with GCS to help GCS out. After trying to make the best of a shit situation for years the AFL just pulled the rug out from underneath MFC. The way that Melbourne tried to spin it was embarrassing.
In two years Melbourne have added a fitness bloke and an assistant coach. Amazing. That's the best you can do?
Melbourne did make finals in Perts first year - he joined in June. You seriously attributing that success to him???? And nearly making finals 2 years after making finals, and an abysmal season in between, is hardly something to hang your hat on.
And Goodwin being under the pump this year - he has 2 years left!!! On big money!!! He has a history of poor decision making - Gambling, Violence, PED's. He had been repeatedly out-coached over several years, and shown no ability to adapt or be innovative as a coach. He should be unemployable, but Pert gave him an extension!???? F@$k me.
I think I'm normally pretty balanced and open to other opinions, but I don't think I have ever encountered someone as delusional as you. You're like one of those poverty-stricken redneck Trump supporters that are campaigning to get rid of healthcare and education.

This.
It was the same at Essendon under Jobe. When the captain puts his relationship with the coach and execs above his teammate's welfare he has to go. Shameful silence from Pendelbury.

It's a work in progress. I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

Feel for Magpies fans though. And I'm not being a smartass.
They are some of the most loyal fans in the comp and Eddie / Bucks seem to be taking advantage of this rusted on support.
They know they're untouchable.
Hope Treloar destroys the Pies midfield next year, and Stephenson kicks four goals against them.
'Cop that, Bucks and Co, you ****s.' Would love to see it.
In fact if Stephenson does make some 'inappropriate gestures' to Eddie or Bucks after kicking a goal against the Pies next season, I would be more than happy to chip in $50 to help cover the fine.
And I'm a stingy, stingy man.

Goes without saying. Never met a north supporter who doesnt rewash their paper plates at a bbq.
But in all seriousness, well done on taking the pies to the cleaners

Rhetoric is all you have.
Record membership.
Solid sponsor acquisition.
Pert has done all the stock standard CEO chores competently.
Goodwin was the result of a carefully laid succession plan under PJ. He was always going to get a proper go regardless of which CEO stepped in. You really think Pert was going to sack Goodwin based on that shitlist of yours?
There isnt much more Pert could have done in his short tenure to date without jeopardising the stability PJ helped bring to the club.
I wasn't sure about him to begin with but happy to call a spade a spade. He has been solid without being exceptional. 1 poor year on field which we improved on from a fitness, personnel and performance aspect.
You? Balanced? Now that is delusional.

Not to mention any player ever considering going there after seeing the way these guys were treated. Any player manager worth their salt will steer their player clear.
Supporters will be understandably angry, disappointed and very frustrated by the salary cap f*ck ups, but ultimately would forgive a club who tells the truth- but the broken trust here due to the lies, obvious cover ups amd treatment of loved players, is going to take a long, long time to heal. There needs to be some accountability.
Side by Side....not for a while again.

Rabble.
Here's a tip
BBQ the membership cards instead. Don't damage your microwave and don't inhale toxic fumes inside your home. Ensure your heatbeats are white when you fling your memberships in the flames.
Marinate some chicken thigh the night before in olive oil, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper and lemon. Throw it on the BBQ afterwards and enjoy a beautiful souvlaki too.

I still maintain that they have been caught breaching the salary cap and that Gil gave Fat Ed the ultimatum to clear a few players off the books and he will sweep the incident under the carpet

Disgraceful and totally unprecedented. You then lie to the members and supporters and keep lying to cover for the original lie.

Sure do, been down that road before
The Stephenson decision is baffling to me and salary is the only thing which makes remote sense. Stephenson's crime is, what... being too quiet? He could be a mute for all I care. Not getting over glandular fever quickly enough? The gambling was dumb, but come on. He's had a poor season but many young forwards have fluctuations in form.
Stack and Coleman-Jones embarrassed the whole league and acted like a bunch of entitled children yet they didn't get traded and Hardwick openly had the attitude of "yeah they were morons but hopefully they can learn from it and grow up and we stick together". If Richmond can look at 2020 as a teaching lesson, surely Collingwood can. And even if it is really just about money and these rumours are just excuses a) you shouldn't get into salary trouble with a player who's been in the system for, what, three years and b) the lies, personal attacks and BS is ridiculous.
I feel sorry for all of the pies players who were traded and unlike some players who act like spoilt idiots, these players actually were done hard by. Collingwood overpaid some players but I'm sure if they tried to renegotiate salaries or were upfront about the reasons with the media and players it'd be so much better. Whoever decided to blame the players needs to be dropkicked into the sun. Awful decision.
"We tried to win a flag with but due to unfortunate circumstances with some player contracts, we have not been able to keep the players we have recruited on the park. The club has decided that it needs more cap flexibility moving forward, and feels the need to readdress some of the payments of players. It's tough business, but this is a business and we need to make cuts to remain under the salary cap. It's frustrating but it's necessary, and we will keep trying to build a premiership list."
This is so much better and emphasises that, yes, Collingwood made some poor moves but it was all to win a flag. Now, they've thrown players under the bus and have made themselves persona non grata to many free agents. Sure, it still means that players have been targeted for money but it's obvious that players have been targeted anyway.

So Buckley is now a known bald faced liar that had no problem at all in throwing his leadership group right under the bus.
Surely a president of integrity would consider this behaviour as untenable.
Sadly, all that the Collingwood faithful can expect from Maguire will be the usual, tired old bullshit bluster bravado and spin.
He’s yesterday’s man and yes, he’s on the nose !!

He was a liar well before this, a couple of seasons ago he made the claim that if collingwood didn’t make finals he would have to be replaced as coach....they missed finals and he spun it another way. The only reason he is there is because he is FeD’s golden boy and he wants to get him a premiership soooo badly so it can be the best love story the world has ever seen. Collingwood supporters always defended Ed when he did something wrong - right now they are learning first hand just how much power can be wielded if you are the right person in the right place at the right time.
There’s more chance of trump winning than FeD or Figjam ever been sacked or stepping down
Cant believe Pies are still trying to spin that this isn’t about the salary cap.
Not much respect for their supporter base

The whole Treloar thing was gross.
Sign him to a huge back-ended deal (which his play had justified), decide to get rid of him rather than uphold that contract, blame his wife, then lie and say the players didn't want to play with him.
I've never really had strong feelings on Treloar one way or the other, but I hope he's amazing for the dogs.
And I hope to never hear Collingwood sing "side by side we stick together" ever again.
