Players with other options just see clearly how badly their fans turn on the players when performances aren't up to standard.That's exactly right. Supporting Collingwood is in this weird obsessive category where it's like a religion or cult.
I actually had a soft spot for them previously, but the whole Henry thing has left a sour taste.
Players are human beings. They have families that they love and other interests outside of football. Supporters never want to hear it, but footy is basically a job for these guys.
You see it every year with trades. Collingwood supporters coming out saying "He'll be at Collingwood next year, nothing surer".....and it NEVER ends up happening.
Cameron, Lynch, Taranto, Dangerfield, the list could go on forever. They just don't land the big fish, they end up with rejects like Markov & Frampton.
Unfortunately, if your one goal in life isn't to play for Collingwood then you're basically dead to them.
Its ironic really, as the players they've held onto have done a damn good job breaking their hearts for 70 years.
You'd want no part of it
