“Secondly, we hold the view that this year’s draft represents an opportunity to bring some key position talent into the program. This deal improves our ability to do that.” -Ned Guy.

As it stands right now those picks are dead selections and will be eaten up matching a bid for Reef.

Melbourne have just done a better job of making their way up the draft board and it hasn't cost them an elite young talent in the process.

Cheers, that is very gracious of you considering the circumstances. I'm certainly not gunna gloat mate. It might have been a good day for North, but it's a sh!t day for AFL football.

A coach throwing his own players under the bus in the media to cover up for some appalling administrative fu** ups is not acceptable at any club.

It's deplorable leadership.

You folks know what has to be done. Mobilise and succeed. Collingwood and AFL footballl deserve better.
Never thought the day would come, but boy I hope you Roos flog us something special next year.
 
What we forget is having glandular fever before the season is a huge thing and impossible for athletes to perform 100% after a bout of it. He had an average year played out of position and asked to do a lot. This is going to bite us on the arse big time and it’s what we deserve.
Bucks judges players on a body of work apparently, he says it all the time, amd here we are, can’t wait to see the likes of Hoskin Elliott earning a crust next year shirking contests and racking up 8 touches a game.
The whole joint can get stuffed.

This just makes me puke.

Sit the bloke down and have a chat at the start of the trade period

This is a dark day for this club.
Its the sort of shit you'd expect if we had Jeremy Cameron and the Bont as last minute deals lined up. "Quick, **** off Stevo"
 
Hope Stevo can turn it around. He was the softest player in the AFL this year, my 80 year old mum used a word I havent heard in years... "Squib".

So much potential, this year was hard to watch as he never deserved a game.

Pies made correct decision.

Move on

You can move a player on and get fair value, you can move a player on with dignity and respect - despite how they may have acted.
 
What a disaster that our best hope now is Essendon shitting the bed and having a worse trade period then us

I doubt the club or Stephenson will ever be forthcoming on the real reasons he was traded tbh. Sounded very much like Stevo was choosing his words carefully and being selective with what he revealed about that phone conversation.
This.

If everyone thinks the conversation went exactly and as simply as he said, you have rocks in your head.

He contradicted himself in the interview by saying early he had some things to work on, on and OFF the field.

Then later alluding to the exit meeting said they didn’t really say much, it was more some on the the field stuff.

I find it extremely hard to believe there wasn’t more said.

Does anyone really think stevo is gonna outline all the stuff that makes his attitude look horrible live on air?
 
When Buckley was on the chopping block the players stood by him. I thought he had a caring special bond with them. That doesn’t mean you keep everyone but you do treat them with respect. He should have been upfront with Jaiden. For him to find out the way he did is horrible. These are people not commodities! Side by Side or suicide? Not good!
 
The fish smells from the head,, we are a laughing stock.
Maguire needs to go, followed by the list manager Buckley and Sanderson also enough is enough.
We have become a joke we need a fresh start
