    Toast Presidency and The Board

    Right, and that's also what I've heard - they just don't know how to communicate. Eddie was our comms - he's a media personality, he knows how to talk. So we never really invested in professional "media relations". Think one of the first departments that needs an overhaul is our comms - they...

    Toast Presidency and The Board

    From what I gather, there's a pro-change camp on the board that is determined to change things and implement Do Better. That includes Jodie Sizer, Peter Murphy and Paul Licuria. Look beyond Korda and look at who was made VPs - Jodie and Licca. They now have much greater influence, and I support...

    Universal Love Nathan Buckley - The Greatest.

    It's an odd feeling to be honest. This individual has been the face of Collingwood pretty much my entire life. Had his poster on my wall as a kid. I'm in my mid 30s now and to think about my life, all the things I've done, places I've been, and then realise Buckley has been at Collingwood the...

    Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

    Re Ross Lyon - where did that sexual harassment claim against him end up? Not sure I want to trade Collingwood 'the racist club' for Collingwood 'the misogynist club'. Can we at least get a coach with a clean record? We also have a reputation/cultural black hole we're trying to get out of.

    Arch rivals in misery too.

    Coach Who Should Our Next Coach Be (Poll Updated)

    TBH, Graham Wright's presence at the club is the only thing giving me confidence. The rest of the club is a bit of a mess. Actually somewhat glad there's no overbearing president or a stable board to impose itself on the football department and Wright's running the show.

    Coach Buckley steps down

    I've been an advocate for change for sometime. But I cannot - cannot - take away anything Buckley has given this club. He has given every ounce, devoted his best years to the sole mission to get us to succeed. I'm incredibly sad that he leaves without achieving his goal. He deserved a...

    Toast Presidency and The Board

    Jeff isn't the answer - he's Eddie's counter-punch. We need someone outside Eddie's world who will lead change, not someone who will just reinstate the boy's club and the rot that has now been exposed for all to see. I think it's time fans mobilised and started forcing our voice at the table -...

    POLL: Where do you sit with the current EGM/board spill push?

    This is where I stand. I don't think Jeff Browne is an alternative - more the regime trying to save itself. He's Eddie's best mate, he's part of the boys club, it's the counter-revolution so to speak. We need better alternatives, we need people outside of Eddie's orbit. Jeff isn't in.

    Roast A reflection of where Pie fans think their club is really at. It's not positive.

    This is the lowest point our club has been in since the 1990s, and I think we're only going to sink lower. What can we do? First and foremost, we have to get our voting rights back. Eddie shut members out to consolidate his control ... the result of that is the rot that we're all now seeing...

    These players need to go in the next year or two

    It's 1999 all over again. When MM started, he pretty much gutted our list over two seasons ... and then we made two GFs (because Shaw played nothing but kids in 99). This year has to be about what kids we think are going to be part of the future ... Wrighty needs to make sure that's the focus...

    Strategy Where are we going as a football team?

    Bucks is a lame duck coach this year. The media know it, we know it, he knows it (his body language says it all). The Craig Kelly/Jeff Browne pull was trying to save his behind ... I can't see it happening. But my worry is - with the off-field still unsettled, how on earth are we going to be...

    Autopsy Round 6 = Collingwood 85-109 Essendon

    TBH I think Bucks is aware he's a lame duck. I'm not seeing much enthusiasm/drive from him either. The whole club - it's just excruciating to watch. I just hope he plays the kids this year and doesn't burn the team/create fractures on his way out the way MM did.

    Toast Presidency and The Board

    The big issue at the moment is being president of Collingwood is a bit of an unattractive role for those well-off in our community. Who wants the intense scrutiny and stress of trying to fix this place? The system is working the way Eddie built it - to be a recycling regime ala Vladimir Putin...

    News Review into racism at Collingwood

    LOL the report was pretty bloody clear actually. So clear in fact that it left no room to equivocate (nice try though). No more soft pedalling around racism bro. Get it or still need some help?
