Is Collingwood imploding.... or rebuilding?

[jezzajay]

Collingwood - hardly the top of our lists in terms of favorable conversation but I am curious about them at present with their list movement.

Just heard that Kyle Martin has quit Collingwood....for his own personal reasons that are more than reasonable. I know he's not an A-grader but with the hole Beams is likely to leave he would have been handy - as proven by him winning the VFL B&F this year...again!
Just surprised by what's happening there...Beams, Lumumba, Martin (I feel like I'm forgetting someone)!!
All looking to move on...

Not a fan of Buckley at all... Have a feeling he's the type of person you love or hate! Can imagine him having some players off side.
Appears to be polished in front of the camera but apart from saying the things the media want to hear....has he got nything to offer thats above and beyond the likes of Malthouse, Clarkson etc? I believe he doesn't! Type of guy who would have felt he was owed the head coach role... therefore not appreciative of the position he's in.

Maxwell & Ball retiring...
Swan past his best...
Their best stopper in Macaffer doing a knee, as well as their high draft pick from this year.
Pendlebury will have a slow start next season due to some major off season surgery...
There's probably more going on I can't recall right now.

Their team will have a different look next year to how we know them. Have a feeling it could be an uglier season for them in 2015 than this year which they would have been disappointed with

Martin story...

Goes without saying but I'd rather be in our position than there's with the list at present...
Have a feeling Buckley will be under the pump in 2015 - look forward to seeing how it goes down...

It's amazing what can happen in 3 years. Mid 2011 I would have said they were coasting to any easy back-to-back and looking at a strong dynasty.

Bombers won the flag in 1912. Their iceberg is still forming. Candidate for least relevant post in thread ever.

They seem to be escaping scrutiny, particularly Buckley, media mates are being very lenient.

Its like a death by a thousand cuts at Westpac.

With Essendon and Collingwood wobbling all over the joint, I just can't get enough ...

Freud would be intrigued by this.

Buckley, Hird, Voss. Putting a favourite son in charge of your club always works out great.

Well that's put a dampener on the night. Lucky I have a full bottle of rum, I am going to need it.
