A Collingwood premiership player forever. Thank you for your courage & contribution to our club.

Just in case anyone has forgotten.

This thinking is fundamentally wrong in my opinion. Why are we constantly looking to retire our champion players? This sentiment has been mentioned a lot here in the last 5 years which makes me laugh everytime, "we need to plan for life after Pendlebury". Yet many younger players have come and...

Good luck Jack!

Wow the pressure and scrutiny with this selection is a bit much. I hope people don't lose it if he stinks it up. He's just a kid, let him have a crack and lets give him time to grow. Go Pies!

This is really sad news. You don't want any opposition player to go out this way and especially when they still have so much more to give to the game. I have seen some terrible comments floating around about the blood of our team, Bruz. Time to get around him, this must be distressing news...

Yeah definitely, he's on record as saying the extra attention has played on his mental health. In saying that, I don't think we can completely associate the attention he gets from just being a Collingwood player. He invites a lot of that himself. For example, posting "Locked in" at Collingwood...

127. That's the number of players who have debuted for Collingwood since the legendary Scott Pendlebury donned the black and white for the first time. As Taylor Adams said in his exit speech on social media, "to Pendles for outlasting everyone". Players come and go. Longevity at a single club...

One thing that rubbed me the wrong way was his mad Monday "jockey" antics. I was supportive of his decision to go to the races the night before a GF. Players should be able to do the things that help them to perform to the best of their ability provided they are still professional about it. But...

Thanks for the responses. I 100% agree with you guys. Sorry I didn't mean to come across as negative. I just meant looking at that 2020 AFL Trade/Draft period in isolation in terms of what came in and went out it's not a great read. But looking at the bigger picture, you guys are spot on. Gave...

That 2020 AFL Trade/Draft period for Collingwood is seriously a disaster. Traded 2021 first round pick (Pick 3 in 2021: Finn Callaghan) for minimal return. Jaidyn Stephenson (TRADED for unders due to salary cap issues) Tom Phillips (TRADED for unders due to salary cap issues) Adam Treloar...

Since when did we become the Jack Ginnivan Football Club? It's as if our entire future relies on him with all this chatter. He's a 20 year old kid who experienced the high of AFL in 2022. Made some mistakes and came crashing back down to Earth as a fringe player for most of 2023. He realises...

I think the best way to respond to this is my previous reply once again: What are you in Primary school? Grow up!
