Who cares? He’s injured. We picked an injured guy on a 6-month contract to help with our injury prone team.

I meant with specific regard to Dave’s comment, implying a retaliatory omission of players playing against the Dogs, for Ned Long.
can he hit a target?

We don’t have targets. Can he hit a patch of grass inside 50m?

He's pretty big - Maybe he can be a makeshift one.
Wouldn't be the first time we recruited someone not meant to be a key forward and forced them into that role.

Not by foot. His hands are alright though.
He is also about the same size as Nick Riewoldt

Wade said his return is post bye.
Hope to see Ned break into your senior side soon and do well. I reckon if we didn't have Connor Nash he would have played a lot more footy for us. He does a lot of stuff that doesn't show up in stats, suspect Nick will love some of his blocking at stoppages.

Which Ned guy are you referring to?
The Ned Guy who turned over our list at the end of 2020 which contributed to our 2023 Premiership?
Or the Ned guy who played in our 1990 Premiership and was CEO during our 2023 Premiership?
Either way, that’s a tough act to follow for this Ned guy.

I was referring to the Ned guy whose actual name is Ned Guy whose incompetence lead to some tough decisions whereby he accidentally contributed to our 2023 premiership.
Not the other Ned guy who is actually a Craig

He was probably mostly incompetent at saying “shut the **** up, Ed, that is a ****ing stupid idea and you should never speak again in my presence!”… moreso than, you know, contractual stuff.
Mostly though I was just having a bit of a laugh with some word play. Probably shouldn’t have responded to the previous post.

interfering in list management decisions - your job is governance, not managing - do you want me to explain the difference... again? (sighs loudly)

Ah, I think you’ve got Ned Guy mixed up with Fall Guy.
His crime was being the bloke sitting in the list management chair when the list management committee (including Walsh, Bucks, Ed) decided to banish four much adored Collingwood superstars for no reason whatsoever.
Actually maybe that was two Collingwood superstars and two bit players who have long since departed their clubs.
Actually, maybe that was one Collingwood superstar, one player who should be in the prime of his career but can’t even hold his spot in the bottom team that’s yet to win a game this season, and two bit players who have long since departed their clubs.
ps. Curious, why hasn’t the list manager who offloaded our superstar AA ruckman copped the same shade as Ned Guy?

Had Ned Guy made that decision he’d have kept his reputation in tact.

Do you know something we don't aout our salary cap at the time?
The issue is that he was in the chair when we stuffed up the salary cap. Getting rid of those players and a fair bit more senior depth to right the ship early enough was a good thing, but stuffing up the salary cap - not so much.

Actually you've all got the wrong Ned - if we had had the one and only Ned who was prepared to take a final stand on list management and tell the interferers to stop hanging around who knows what might have happened...
