Eddie's threat

Good luck targeting our best youngsters when we would have to agree to trade them Eddie.
 
We must be doing something right for Eddie to be pissed at us. I think his starting to think Cloke is gone.

Well, opposition supporters anyway. The people he could least give a shit about, unless it's a Collingwood home game against them in which case he'll take your money thanks.

It's not like he's ever going to walk into a coaches meeting discussing trade and free agency options and demand they put all their efforts into poaching players from one club and **** everything else.

BTW, he said the same thing when Pendlebury (was it?) was linked to GWS last year. It's all for show and means nothing.
 
Weak threat. If he wants to blow his cap targetting our players then good luck to him. In the same sentence he tells cloke to suck it up and accept the offer they put in front of him.

Think Eddie may have forgotten the players rights in this rant, even the ones not in negotiations. Come to Collingwood, we threaten you and any club you choose to go to. Time for the whole comp to target collingwood players, See how tough they are then.

What about Tarrant, Medhurst, Clement and Holland. Collingwood do nothing but target other clubs players, always have! Stick it up your a*** Eddie.
 
I am pretty sure Freo would not be scared of the alleged $ and power of Collingwood. Given the financial power of Freo continues to grow and both WA teams are in the largest growing market in Aust, its pretty obvious this is nothing more than hot air.

Interesting response from Eddie. I would suggest that maybe he feels your offer is quite a threat.

Also, how absolutely unprofessional and classless. It's staggering a person in his position can say that stuff in the media.
 
I thought Afl presidents were supposed to not only support the values of the afl but also steer clear of social agendas also.
All this rant makes him sound like Is a bully, sounds a little like.. "give me your lunch, if you don't I will just keep coming at you until you do"
I know he is passionate, but time to grow up Ed.
 
He's just spouting what his members expect him to....you know, the single tooth, single digit iq, single brain cell average collingwood member who actually believes that collingwood have the right to the flag and how dare others interrupt.
 
Pffft.... Seriously..Nobody is buying those empty threats are they?

Personally I hope we don't get Cloke, I think the money would be better spent on getting midfield talent to the club. But at least now there is an upside if we do get him, I'll be watching Eddie's first interview after the deal is done, should be funny.

No wonder he is hated by the ex-collingwood coach. I have a suspicion that Joffa and Eddie are the same person.
 
The Pies drafted Cloke in a F/S deal instead of paying a top 5 pick , so Eddie wants to finish eating the cake all the way through . Plus Freo lost out on the Tarrant deal so its probably Karma for Collingwood but 5 million over 5 years is a lot of money , Lyon must want him pretty bad . Not worth the hassle

Easy for you to say, you've got tall power fwds coming out of your gazunkas. It's not what he's worth per se, it's what he's worth to us. 5 years 5 mil is out there I agree, probably too much (and probably not accurate either I might add), but we're desperate for tall marking fwds - it's the position on our list that most needs addressing. So is Cloke worth it straight up? No. But it's basic economics, the product is worth what the buyer's needs dictate and what they're willing to pay, not in the constitution of the product itself.

Also, FWIW, I don't think Cloke would have been a top 5 pick in his day.
 
The only way this gets any better is if we get Cloke and Reid after the later decides it's either Freo or retirement.

The Pies would be structurally screwed for years. When Reid lines up beside his captain, Phil Davis next year, I'll be quietly satisfied that football karma was served.

Such a scenario will of course allow Eddie to play the victim and moan about Collingwood's fortunes which is his most favourite thing to do in life.
