What cap issues?
That was just media bull.
We offloaded 3 best 22 players for SFA because they didn't suit the culture of excellence that Buckley and Maguire have built at the club. Club's well run. They know what they're doing.. nothing to see here.. trust the well paid experts. So shut up and stop sooking everyone.

Maguire and Buckley 2030!
 
The reactions on here is simply staggering! agree with we are moving on soft one sided footballers that butcher the ball.

Norf should be cross examined for forking out 5 x $500k for a troubled individual thats had one good year and a weak plodder who is a punching bag on this site for the same money!

As for Treloar, show me any positive comments on any match day thread and ill give you one of gimps Gorilla's

2 first rounders (a third would have been idea) is great, it'll be improved when we move our 2021 1st into this year as well.

Deep breath, the excuse of salary cap is finally gone and we can now make a play for big names next year.
Why the **** would anyone want to come to the club?

nobody is coming in for 5 years at least

....can you tell us who went at those picks just to twist the knife a little?
2015 & 2016: Sam Weidermann (gun) and Griffin Logue
2018&2019: Ely Smith and Mitch Giorgiades (gun)

Honestly, could you have imagined a worse trade period? Actually sit down and think about it.... I’ve tried.

Comfortably worst trade period of all time. I’d be staggered if someone could legitimately find one worse for us.

If you wrote it down 18 months ago you would be locked up in a padded cell.
Unfortunately before this trade week began it was 100% certain to play out like it did.
 
Here comes the spin.
To be fair, there’s no spin in that. At least he admitted that these players didn’t want to leave and had to be ‘managed’ out of the club. Not like the bullshit Guy was trying to spin.
Im not sure that any of our administrators have handled this maturely or competently though. Change is needed. Funnily enough, the last time I felt this way was 20 odd years ago just before Eddie took over. I really want Kelly to challenge for the presidency now.
 
I think as a fan of the NBA, i’ve grown to take this kind of stuff pretty lightly.

Get used to it folks. Contracts aren’t going to get any more meaningful, clubs aren’t going to become less ruthless, and salary dumps are a thing.

You think not calling a guy immediately to tell them they’re in trade talks is bad.

A lot of guys in the NBA don’t even find out from their manager - they find out from Twitter or Instagram, and have to move to a new City without giving their consent. One player was traded literally while he was sitting on the bench playing for the team that traded him.

For better or for worse, this is 2020, and thats one the benchmark leagues of world sport.
 
There's no way this can be spun in a positive way, not for what we got in return.



I know I'm going to regret asking this but are you using humor as a coping mechanism here? You don't genuinely believe today's effort was a positive one?



Which club?

Have no regrets, I'm only trying to cope.

Like many others, I'm having considerable difficulty with the fact that supporting a footy team also requires that I support the organisation of that team.

Today's apocalypse has been a while in the making, but that doesn't make it any easier and I think --as far as I can tell from an outsider's view-- the situation could have been handled better.
 
Treloar was lured from Richmond where he could have been a three time premiership player only to be hung out to dry and be treated like shit.

What a scumbag coach, list manager, president and football club.

Go f**k yourselves Collingwood and anyone on this board defending this.
 

feel for bucks... not his fault. he would do a better job at managing this list

actually feel for Ned as well... guy has had his career ended today, and should get close counselling for what he is already & will have to deal with in the media, from fans & the industry, forever....
