Rumour Two Collingwood players under investigation for COVID breach.

[Carbine Chaos]

Reckon Sidey saw a vision of Hutchings and footed it out of there.

 

[Pessimistic]

Before we decide judgement, we need to know what the WA premier thinks

he would ‘run him out of the state’ apparently. It appears WA is still as hick as when I was there over 30 years ago

 

[Pessimistic]

Let's call a spade a spade. 7:30 am in the morning. He was on the bags! Cocaine that is, as are many players but that AFL and AFL media for some reason are not allowed to report it.

cos the AFL media is prolly also on it

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Reality is, If Sidey pulled this nonsense In normal times ( non covid times) he may well have got a 2 or 3 week suspension from his club for stupidity. Not sure he has got anymore than he would have normally.

Thread has gone full special needs now.

 

[nylexbandit]

So I assume Daniel Wells will be stood down
A Collingwood 'staff member' seems just as accountable for what happened as Sidebottom.

He has an interestingly loosely defined role there. I wonder what he’s getting paid given that he agreed to take a significant pay cut last year without needing to. I’m sure the two things aren’t linked

 

[sprockets]

Bucks said that the pies were going to go through a 'process' to determine a penalty. Wonder how that went.

Elevated to captain on Eddie's recommendation. #soproud

 

[daicos mark 2]

Sidebottom should of not caught an Uber. He should of drove home smashed into 5 cars, fled the scene, got his mates to cover for him and he would of got the same penalty

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Laughed at that bit too. Also it factually incorrect isn’t it as they got an Uber to Howes joint..that’s s breach.

Dunn drove to Howes, as Sidey and Howe had been drinking from early Saturday afternoon. Dunn then organised an Uber to take him home, and not drive his car back home, and Sidey shared the Uber with him.

Nice of Eddie to try and make Sidebottom into the hero of the story

He is taking a 4 week suspension for the good of the game lol

Was he at Wellsy place ? mmmm.......

I can absolutely see eddie declaring Collingwood a religion just to reduce the tax bill

 

[tombomb]

He got up to go to the bathroom, walked out a wrong door, and somehow ended up semi naked in a police car.

Eddie, please tell us that you at least said 'is that definitely what happened?' this time.

 

[ChesterTreasure]

At least we are still allowed to go to the pub !!!

 

[Holy Rioli]

The next player who stuffs up will get life.

Maybe they should...the season is on the brink of collapse, the only thing that can save it is players following the ******* rules. If they don't the livelihood of hundreds of footballers and thousands of AFL staff are at stake.

 

[00Stinger]

hahaha Eddie maguire said he is 'proud' of Steele Sidebottom

* me what an absolute joke!

 

[dmac_55]

Robbo made it clear he wasn't at Wellsy's place at 7:30am. I have my suspicion why they won't disclose where he was at then.

Booty call, then drop and run. Happens every Sunday morning around Australia!

Probably why they haven't reported it

 

[north_lad]

The funniest argument in this thread is that by not allowing uber the AFL are condoning drink driving.... Like what the *

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I don't know what would concern me the most. That a senior player, a leader, doesn't have the brains or discipline to obey COVID-19 rules, or that the coach says the player has no recollection of events. Either way, not good.

Surely the President saying he is proud of the players actions beats both. A club with such poor leadership at the very top is a seriously big issue.

 

[Tugga27]

Watching Ed on FC last night, it's plain to see just how much power he has at Collingwood.

When Lloyd questioned whether Sidey should lose the vice captaincy, Ed says he won't.
Lloyd says "that should be up to Bucks". Ed replies, "no, it's a board decision and the board say's he won't".

So, not only does he undermine Bucks, now he apparently speaks for the whole board.

If he would've just said "the club is very disappointed and no one is more remorseful than Sidey",
everyone moves on.

But his ridiculous comments keep it in the headlines.

 

[the harry]

Bucks should drop him from VC just as a show of strength against Eddie.

The insistence that it's the board rather than football department decision is insane

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Collingwood and Eddie have handled this about as badly as they could have.

Need to take a lesson from us in terms of Data Record Keeping..........or burning evidence.

That damn Apple cider gets me every time.

Eddie has lost the plot on this completely and needs a break, and someone needs to sit him down and tell him.

 

[BBC1967]

Lot of unbiased posters here, maybe you should ban them from your board for having an opinion.What do you think of Eddies spin?
