David King’s Opinion

[Mostfamousclub_Pies]

Really? Where's the evidence of this? Our annual reports tell a different story, they say we're a well run club, financially viable, responsible community citizens, philanthropic, leaders in the evolution of women's sport at the highest levels. Just how are we a sh*t club?

How do you know we treat players like sh*t? Do you take Treloar's and Stevo's comments as the indicator of this? Or do you look at the way we actually supported Broomy, Dunny, and even Beams as unequivocal evidence that the club doesn't treat players like sh*t?

Wasn't that long ago that we were R/U in a GF. Does that mean that every club that every year every club that doesn't win the GF is a sh*t club that only achieves mediocre results at best?

Well run clubs win flags far more often than we do.
All that other stuff you mentioned counts for nothing.

If we bottom out this year people can blame it on Eddie and Buckley, if they win a flag in the next couple of years people will praise their ruthlessness and say it's what was needed for ultimate success. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Personally I'm glad they are being decisive. Don't want to die guessing.

This muppet just said good clubs look after their players on their way out. He was referring to Jack Higgins leaving Richmond.
Richmond is hardly an example of that over time. This flog worked for Richmond as an assistant coach, not surprising he’d say that.
He is the ultimate Collingwood hater.

He actually isn't and to be fair he is right.

The biggest Collingwood hater of all is Lyon, just listen to Pies vs Melbourne from this year he loves sinking the boots in.

Close second would be Jono Brown.

I support the Collingwood football club not the the Collingwood financial report.

Right, so you have no actual evidence, it's just the vibe....

How are Carlton and Essendon going at the moment, they've won the most flags. Geelong have only ever won 9. Flags is only 1 determinant of a well run club and only 1 team wins it each year.

Results are my evidence.

Right, so finalists the last 3 years tells a different story. I'll leave it there.

Flags might be only one determining factor but it’s the main one.
Even if we were a club known for drunken orgies and wife swapping, I’d turn a blind eye if it meant we’d won more flags.

Not me, I would be changing clubs or find another sport to follow.

What about if we were known for cheating? (Essendon, Carlton, Adelaide, ...)

There is a line ...

Are you suggesting there’s something wrong with drunken orgies and wife swapping?

I’d be did saying someone say KFC?
