Ironically I’m thinking that maybe our culture of openesd and honesty is a contributing factor. I suspect if Stevo was a Hawk last year and went to Clarko, I suspect Clarko would have said “ Stevo leave it with me and promise me you will never discuss this with anyone” . Substitute Stevo for Sier, JDG etc - I have little doubt ruthlessly competitive Coaches like Clarkson take a very different approach to these problems, depending on the severity of course.

Further, Eddie being a media guy would have the view that releasing the story and thereby controlling the narrative is a proven strategy in managing the media.
That may well be true but that assumes that all stories will eventually go public - but I suspect Clarko has very different view on both respects.

My god you have really been drinking the koolaid.

Even when there's overwhelming evidence you still pretend that it's because "we allow it to happen while for all other clubs its hidden"

You and Davywap can never be reasoned with because to you, it's impossible for the club to make mistakes.

I seriously have no idea how your comments relate to my post - I’m making no comment on evidence as you suggest or the strength same.

My post focuses on how the clubs may differ on managing an issues.
And to further emphasize my point I have no doubt if Stevens was a Coll player that we would know a lot more about the stabbing incident. So have Geel hidden information? Or Do they have a far more “closed shop” mentality than CFC?

Take your pick.

Which ever the case it’s a stark contrast as too how CFC would have managed the issue in my view, particularly as unlike Geel. our President has the media spot light on him everyday.

I'm actually pretty used to it. Mate you can try and paint the picture that Ed's this weight around our necks but the truth is.....we could have Mother Theresa as our President and the media would still paint the picture that she was in charge of a brothel!
Other clubs, other supporters have to understand we (Collingwood FC and that's players, officials and supporters) ALL get tarred with the same brush that we've had said about us since we were born. We're the media's focus every day of the year (in season and out). The scrutiny on our players is enormous (and always has been) and NO-ONE wants us to succeed at anything. If we do something good, like the partnership with the local footy league during last week....it just gets swept under the carpet. What the media craves (and what they prod and poke and dig through the sewers for) is muck about Collingwood.
Look for yourself....COVID is killing people around the world, China is taking over the world and yet its a Collingwood player getting 4 weeks that is the big story in the media!

Ed has been great for footy and great for CFC. I'm amazed he's still got the energy to keep copping the $#&t he gets from everyone on our footy club's behalf. Yeah he's said some dumb things at times, but so's Jeff and Costa and Riccuito and Koshy....ask yourself...who get's the reputation over and over again?

We're Collingwood....we've been holding up the VFL/AFL forever and all the other clubs hate us and we know it.
What's new?

Ps......I have most of my teeth, but I am over 70 so I guess I'm allowed to have lost a few!

Excuse the interruption......
I agree, Eddie has been and is great for your club, even better for the game, he’s more of an ambassador for our entire brand, better than almost anyone that’s been involved.
Sure he’s said some dopey shit on occasion, but that’s bound to happen when your gob is stuck in front of a microphone or mug on a tv 24 ****ing hours a day.
Just on the bolded and my main point, you might want to read what Christopher Hitchens wrote about the little Macedonian saint, Epstein could have learned a thing or two!
Sorry to barge in, just need to clarify is all!👍
 
So Steelo was getting to know Wellsy's mrs Sidebottom... Sprung in the act, copped a few and did a runner in his jocks hey. Maybe forgot what happened due to concussion from the hits. Interesting.
 
Say what?????

He snuck into Wells' house in the early hours of Saturday morning without Wells finding out, then he caught him at 7am in his own house?
 


Great leadership Steele! ;) :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Jeez, he is starting to sound like the Collingwood PR team already.
Just a bit of morale building after a loss. All good and pure intentions.

Gotta love an American with a sense of sarcasm - they're as rare as the teeth of hens.

Do we know what's happening with him?

If he wants to be ready for our first final, he kind of needs to fly out today.

Put a line through him. He ain't coming now. It's kinda too late.
