Boycott time

[BringouttheGimp]

You going on a hunger strike wont achieve anything, in case you didn't know our club is in crisis, open your eyes, and we aren't getting help from our board, take that to the bank.

Im on a vegan diet strike

 

[Vicky Park]

We should make a big song and dance about Buckley on bigfooty.

TG, are you channeling Markfs?

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Just when you thought it couldn't get any dumber.....

... and we aren't getting help from our board, take that to the bank.

We're currently engaged in what is probably the biggest review of the club in 20 years?

Sure just to look like we did DD, that is all and nothing will change

 

[76woodenspooners]

Too funny! I love the way we get this level of humour on BF. Keep it coming... Boycott... rofl!

I think threads like this have less to do with on-field performance and more to do with the members feeling a bit disconnected from the club.

Just merely as an example, if it was our club CEO who tweeted something like this ...


... maybe folks wouldn't think threads like this would be necessary?

Sure, 'Discretion is the better part of valour' ... but that doesn't work forever.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

I waiting for someone to come up with the idea of dumping a truck load of chicken poo at the Holden Centre.....no, wait, I think someone......

It's a catch 22. If Peter Murphy was coming out with all kinds of public statements like "Hey, I did a review of the contract we have with our caterers yesterday, it's a very bad deal for Collingwood, the person who signed that contract should be sacked and I'll see to it that they are!" then we would all be crying foul over the circus he is creating.

What is happening at the club right now is exactly what needs to happen - a full top to bottom review. We need to give it time, and then see what comes out of it.

If it concludes that everything is roses, or if we get to the end of year members' forum without hearing anything more out of it, that's when we get our pitchforks out. Can't have change (the noun) without change (the verb).

Didnt we do a review 2-3 years ago?

 

[76woodenspooners]

Didnt we do a review 2-3 years ago?

Yes, we did, but the scope of that review was limited to just our injury profile. As a result of it we sacked the strength coach and the club doctor, and brought in a biomechanical expert (Jamie Cassidy-McNamara) and poached Geelong's club doctor (Chris Bradshaw)

The scope of the current review appears to be the whole club operations.

 

[The Dawes]

OK, I'm on board - i will never buy another issue of Time magazine.

I'm sure our supporters will join the boycott this week. NO way will I bother going to watch a replay of yesterday's effort. How the MCC can predict is a crowd of 62K is beyond me. Be lucky to get 50K I'd say.

 

[Sasuke]

That's right boys. If we are playing poor, we don't go and support our team! That's what true supporters do! Not like those bandwagoners at other clubs.

 

[ash84]

I'm happy for Bucks to stay, but want Eddie gone.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

But don't you guys feel good that homeless people got to sleep in a bed thanks to the club? That's what we pay up for.

 

[robertg22]

I'm boycotting thyme.

 

[The Dawes]

I'm boycotting thyme.

I'll boycott Rosemary then - except on Lamb.

 

[Markfs]

I think TG and myself have been strong positive influences on BF for some time. I think TG might be right. We need to sing and dance about Buckley a lot more. Surely there are some artistic types who can invent some pertinent songs and maybe some break dancing routines. I have visions of something like Miley Sirus swinging from a wrecking ball.....I encourage all artistic Pie fans to contribute.

I'd be crying foul that we had a guy who talks like Trump reviewing our operations...

 

[jackcass]

not renewing my membership unless bucks is sacked and will be letting the club know

Irrespective of who is coaching us next year, Bucks won't be sacked. Just won't be offered a new contract if the club opts for a change at the top. Not sure where that leaves you.

 

[jackcass]

My boycott started quite a while ago.

I can't even remember the last match I went to.

Alzheimer's?

They do actually scan every person into the ground individually you realise.

C'mon 11th v 15th - games don't get no bigger!

It'll be a lockout.... or a lock in, one or the other.

 

[domin8tors]

lol at how immature some are ##boycott. seriously.. we as members vote our president and board etc in place to make decisions so we either take responsibility united or vote for someone else. but don't boycott.
