Roast Treloar’s partner fumes after being made the ‘scapegoat’ by Collingwood

[And_ROOS]

It's a stunning win for the PIES

Read that like it was from one of the old Playstation AFL games.


"And what a win... for the... COLLINGWOOD MAGPIES."

 

[Lip Gallagher]

Treloar worth less than pick 64? (assuming the dogs finish 8th)

We loved the Doggies long time.

 

[Grin]

Not necessarily. We'll just cherry-pick the quality established players that are squeezed out of other clubs over the next 2 or 3 years when their caps burst at the seams.

Jeez. Even before this debacle, a player like Lynch, from a Collingwood family, grown up a passionate Collingwood supporter, and offered more $$$ by Collingwood than Richmond, chose the club he perceived to have the better culture. After this debacle, no one in his right mind who has a choice will chose Collingwood.

Seems as though it's another 'Us against Them' year in 2021, the Pies do their best work when their backs are to the walls.

A flag would be a great way for Eddie to finish his Presidency reign.

So you're insisting that Collingwood has adopted the same delusional culture Richmond did post 1982.
Good luck with that

Not all footballers are as savvy as Lynchy. Collingwood will rope in their share of players from other clubs for at least the first couple of years of their 10 year contracts.

Nope. Collingwood's longest ever gap between Grand Final appearances is 11 years.

Richmond go multiple decades at a time between finals wins...

You guys are into preliminaryships for some reason.

Never been the same since the double hammy. I predict he plays 10-12 games next year.
He doesn't run both ways (just the 'ol arms on hips pose) and his disposal is woeful.
What's the point of accumulating if you can't do anything decent with the ball (see Scott Pendlebury).

I agree his exit was terribly handled but I've thought he was overrated for a long time.

If he is such a crap player why on earth did the Pies pay him so much?

He went downhill very quickly since the end of the season.

To beat out Richmond. Its the 80s all over again.

If only it was the 80's again.

We wouldnt have nearly every thread and nearly every discussion being turned into a Ninthmond p!ss take.

Talk is cheap... Diamonds are forever.

Sure, players will second guess their decision to move to Collingwood now, probably moreso than what they would have previously. However players will always chase the bigger fish, if we can offer more money, players will come.

Its an industry based on a very short life span, not many players reach 200+ games, as the industry becomes more professional the players become less loyal. Look at the NBA, players chase pay days.

Theres nothing wrong with that, but I dont think it'll impact Collingwood's ability to attract players, nor would it affect any other club.

I fail to see a single diamond in Collingwood's playing list or off field team. But ho hum, in Bucks we (blindly) trust, right?

The fact that players actually want to stay at Collingwood and not leave is enough to prove that something is working.

Your team on the other hand has failed to keep key players over the years or have resigned to a significant overpayement when compared to returned output. I wonder where Josh Kelly will be in 2022...

Not at Collingwood, that's for sure.

Name me the last time the Pies managed to jet an A Grade Superstar/out of contract/FA gun?

You could argue Buckley was Collingwood's last big signing. For reasons I have no idea about, the Pies are not a destination club. And have not been for a long time.

Amazing news. Players want to stay at a club.

Keep up mate, the players were told to leave, they wanted to stay.

Might be playing alongside Grundy and Treloar at the Bulldogs?

What's up with Brodie Grundy?

With seconds remaining in the Pies' win over the Eagles, star ruckman Brodie Grundy was on the bench while a 10th gamer took the centre bounce. With the help of Champion Data, Kane Pitman looks at what's up with Brodie Grundy.

Rename it to Adelaide and it may be a different story. Get me outta here!

Play the ball, not the man.

I wasn’t suggesting we’d get Kelly, but I don’t think he’ll be at the Giants.

as for attracting A Graders, I’d consider Ball (captain of his former club) and to a lesser extent Jolly (one of the best ruckmen of the time) as significant signings.

What has been evident though is, and the argument I was making, was that players want to stay at Collingwood. The flip side to your point is - how many A graders have Collingwood lost?

Yet they won more despite being shite for 30 years.

Go figure.

Really? I always thought 15 > 13?

 

[Maybenextyear]

13 of those 15 flags were before 1958 so the pies have been pretty rubbish the last 62 years .

 

[megadeth86]

Yeah no, not in this situation.

Collingwood dragged her into this by attempting to make her the scapegoat for their miss management.

Surely she is allowed a right of reply.

If that "miss managament" bit was done on purpose it was brilliant!

 

[The Nostradamus]

I wonder if any player at the pies is dumb enough to take a back ended contract still
