News Ned Guy List Manager to leave after MD

Touché, I didn’t word it well. Contracts and salary cap should not be the responsibility of one single person.

So either it’s all him and the club is equally culpable for leaving him with 100% control........ or it’s a shared committee decision that he is just part of.

Either way the blame lies broader than just with him.
I think some of the re-signing rates might have been related to triggers in previous contracts.

But ultimately, I think he was a part of a pyramid scheme that assumed that the cap would continue to rise indefinitely.

The worst is the AFL media team. You'd think they'd be more measured representing the league we compete in. But they've gone the hack as hard as anyone.

Don't mind your posting but surely it's a tad naive to think that the AFL would be measured, fair or just in any single matter given they have more transgressions than all 18 clubs put together.

Harvey and Sanderson have no chance. If Buckley has any chance of surviving himself, he needs to prove he is up to the task of cutting two loyal assistants who have underperformed.

Hine might stay

it will not be Buckley’s decision as to whether Sando or Harvey stay - his opinion might be sought but GW will decide I suspect.
 
Sure Off Tap, Shazza was a top end pick with - for a junior - strong skills and abilities whereas Freeman was atrociously fast but burdened with an opinionated and ignorant father.
Both endured simply unbelievable runs of injuries that never relented, Freeman's father was a royal pain and convinced his son to go to the saints where his injury woes continued despite the strident claims of his harpy of a father that it was all Collingwood's fault.
Shazza remained loyal to the Pies and they to him but in the end the unending tsunami of injuries wore his body down and his career was over before it even got a chance to get going.
If those lads bodies had been enabled them to live up to their draft promise things would have been very different rather than having a huge hole in the list for YEARS.
Scharenberg was a known injury risk draftee with a foot injury which came about through overuse.

A Derek Hine fail-to-perform-due-diligence, first-rounder-late-bloomer and inbetweener special.
 

He's certainly loving his time in the spotlight Rendell as the go to man for negative comments around Collingwood.

The alarming element is how far the recruitment team has been stripped back. Crikey we are down to Hine!

And we call ourselves a great club FMD - run by rank amateurs

True. I hope for better from the governing body but it's naive to expect it.

EFA. He re-signed Treloar, Stephenson, Phillips, Cox and Grundy to horrible horrible contracts traded in Beams and kept Reid on board for two years past his used by date. Yes things probably weren’t great from the moment we hired Allen, but all Guy did was kick the can down the road and then flat out lie to us about why we did what we did during the 2020 trade period. The Guy has blood on his hands!
Are you sure about all that?

Guy didn’t commence in the role until 2018.

Cox was re-signed in 2017 on a 3yr contract at $550k pa with an option for the 4th year.

And why are you so upset that ‘Guy’ lied to us? Do you think clubs always tell you exactly what they think or what is happening? You don’t think he was told what to say/not say in the media?

He wasn’t perfect but I’d imagine part of the issue at the Collingwood Football Club (as has been pointed out), is that certain forces had too much of a say on the list and team. I wouldn’t have been surprised if Eddie and the board directed Guy to get certain things done. Do you think the board were involved in signing off the Grundy deal? I definitely think that was the case.

I love this bit in the article:

“It wasn’t surprising. I haven’t spoken to anyone about it or anyone at Collingwood. It was a disaster, not of his all own making, the last trade period,” Rendell explained.

Followed by this bit:

“That was a list management monumental stuff up not only of one, but two or three years."

Ummm you mean the three years Guy was the list manager? :think: :tearsofjoy:
 
Shazza was suffering with a significant foot injury in his draft year. This turned some clubs off. Then once with us he did his knee. There was concern that his foot injury may have contributed to his knee injury (change in weight bearing and altered gait) but never proved.

There is method behind the madness with the Brown kids, if we can get 100 games into them we have first access to Gavin Brown's grandchildren, otherwise it's a bit of a head scratch right now.

I was one of the few that thought the Beams deal might get us a Premiership, I am also prepared to put my hand up when I got something wrong.🙋‍♂️

A lot of people saying Josh Daicos was in the category you mentioned above, that one worked as many had Cal Brown in front of him. Kelly still has some time, has the capacity just needs some luck with injuries and an extended crack at it.

Not need to excuse the interruption, the input is welcomed.

You are an astute young fella ( a descendant?).

I think the FS is a vexed issue. The Carlollies are stuck with getting the vastly over rated JSOS over the 100 game line well ??? just because he might have kids of the bloke persuasion. That is truly the extent of that scumbag club's ability to plan.

It was his Knee that went on him.

Did not have a Foot Issue after being Drafted
 
Guy could’ve been an ok assistant list manager. Being a player manager he would’ve know a bit about player contracts and would’ve been useful for recruiting and contract advice on who is paid what
