Ned Guy

[M Malice]

Someone from Bigfooty could have done a better job TBH. What a mare.

Knightmare ?

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

If not the list manager than who did?

It's already been well explored that Eddie was key in getting beams to come to Collingwood...

Eddie/board/coteries. Shit Dodoro has been around for 20 years and couldn’t trade Daniher without the say so of Richardson. What do you think a late thirties greenskin like Guy could do.

 

[BringOn2017]

All clubs, not just Collingwood, are never specific when it comes to who makes these sort of decisions. “Everyone has input” which to me is a way of spreading the fallout from any bad decision made.

At the end of 2018, was it Ned Guy who pushed all the cards in for the next two year window or others ? Who knows

spot on. Intentionally hides the shot callers to avoid clear lines of responsibility. It’s ass covering 101.

Watch Ned get picked up in a year or two somewhere if he shuts his mouth because he’s a good company man.

The CEO would be heavily involved in contracts.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Pity. He was doing such a good job.

The boards of clubs play a big role in high profile signings/ re signings

 

[Tippett2Goal]

So since 2017:

- Beams debacle
- Grundy 7 year, 7 million dollar contract
- Treloar's massive contract and subsequent departure
- Stephenson, Phillips shipped off for peanuts
- Traded Pick 2 for 2x mid-range second round picks*

Are we missing anything?

Yeah whether he was responsible or not, he "should" have been responsible for those decisions as a list manager, so position was pretty untenable

 

[Red Bull]

Wright’s presser is hilarious.
Why do they even bother trotting out that shite.
Every man and his dog new Ned was gunna have to walk the plank ...

 

[master bate]

Gubby Allen filled their cap to the brim, then Eddie led the charge for Beams that had it bursting at the sides.

Everything since then was what pretty much anyone else would do or had to do.

You have to kick money in to future years using highly paid players like Treloar.

You had to sign Grundy on a long term deal to keep his cap number in the 900's. Obviously that's still a heap for a ruckman but what team that's right in their window is going to trade away one of their top 5 players?

Then this year they had to shift money out and it's on the whole football club for the failed execution. Head of footy, coach, list manager, head of communications, player welfare staff etc.

COLLINGWOOD list boss Ned Guy will step down from his role after this year's Mid-Season Rookie Draft, just months after the club's tumultuous Trade Period.

Guy, who arrived at Collingwood at the end of 2017, was forced to oversee last year's aggressive list overhaul that saw Adam Treloar move to the Western Bulldogs, Jaidyn Stephenson shipped to North Melbourne and Tom Phillips traded to Hawthorn.

They just wanted to replenish their talent..

 

[Bungeye]

To make matters worse Ned Guy predicted covid!

 

[PetterdHoisted]

not a debacle, no.

cmon man,coaches have the final say

[HairyO]

The CEO would be heavily involved in contracts.

I doubt it.
CEO would be organising off field.

President, GM of Football, Coach and List Manager would be the ones most involved.
President mostly in the big name signjng and contracts.

Bigfooty Nuffs dont have a clue how clubs are run. CEO rubber stamps it but it's not the CEO calling brisbane offering two first rounders and telling players to take less money to fit in Beam's contract

 

[Rich01]

Takes over from SOS as the worst list manager over the past 10 years. Peter Bell the only one currently still working that could challenge in the future.

 

[Farang83150]

LOL...Stepped down....yeah ok

 

[Daka]

Surprised we wasn't sacked on the spot...

Considering he was part of re-signing Treloar on big money they couldn't afford than shipping him off.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

At least he tried his best.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Wright’s presser is hilarious.
Why do they even bother trotting out that sh*te.

Wright's last 5 years at Hawthorn have been spotty (at best)

Not convinced he will be able to salvage/turn Collingwood's fortunes around like many Pies fans are hoping (Least not as quickly as they would like)

 

[RAPPA]

You really have to wonder which guy was responsible for Guy being the guy that’s exited
