Does anyone know the story? Hopefully just as the article suggests, obviously hoping he’s ok.

Nah, Graham Wright is taking it back.

So Wright is a full time football operations general manager and also the full time list Manager?

And full time coach selection panel, yes.

wonderful. Maybe he can also take over an assistant coaching role.

 

[Black_White]

Just another Selwood ducking out of the way.

 

[Vicky Park]

Hope all is OK with him.

 

[magpies42]

Well they’ll replace him, just hoping Selwood transferred all the Geelong drafting intel before he left!

This club is becoming a total joke & laughing stock within the entire AFL industry. Korda & his committe should stand-in ASAP. We desperately need new blood !

I meant "STAND DOWN" AKA RESIGN!

Did you mean re-sign?

I believe he has resigned due to a health issue. Do you want to delete your post?

 

[Billys Back]

Maybe Eddie has offered Seedsman $700k pa to come back……

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Hope all is OK with him.

Is there some suggestion there is something wrong with him? Maybe he just quickly concluded that all was not well at Collingwood and a timely exit was advisable.

EDIT: What is the health issue? He should not have much to contend with at his age.

You have to read the full article, it’s shameless! It begins with …

“Troy Selwood has quit Collingwood only six weeks after joining the club as list and recruiting manager.

Selwood has stepped down for health reasons, …”

This one and a half lines is perfunctory, informative and a bit sad …

… however once Sam Edmund has succinctly dispensed with these essentials, his article then takes us along on a magical mystery tour through a wild over dramatisation of everything that has happened at the Collingwood Football Club in season 2021 concluding with …

”… trying to take over the club, which has also been taken to the Supreme Court by former Pies solicitor Francis Galbally in a bid to force the disclosure of the club’s register of members.

Those details are needed to validate the signatures of thousands of supporters gathered to trigger a spill of the Mark Korda-led board.“

Oh dear VP that would be so anti-climatic after such bluff and bluster.

How is this in any way related to Korda and the board?

Don’t get sucked in by the crazy wild dramatisation by the media.

Somebody at Collingwood sadly got sick and has chosen to leave. That’s all this story is about.

The Collingwood news thread goes to this. I’d prefer not to speculate but the news implies a sudden and unexpected health issue.

I took issue with the poster who wanted the Board sacked - again.

 

[unplugged]

Wasn't there some speculation around why he left the Cats to begin with?

 

[grayza2018]

Hope all is OK with him, wish him well moving forward.

As for us, the hot seat opens up again!

 

[76woodenspooners]

isn’t it strange someone would quit so quickly after getting sick? Why not just take time away from work to get better then decide if he wants to come back?

Not when he’s been in a job for only six weeks, nah.

Edmund’s another one who tee’s off at us at every opportunity.

That’s what I thought, hence the question…
