What's a Collingwood Conspiracy That You Believe To Be True?

[Jasper84]

One of mine is that the club frequently rorts the salary cap by promising players token jobs at the end of their careers.

 

[Hyakutake]

That Eddie paid Beams' gambling debts

 

[Markfs]

That the board employs people to post questions like this on BF....

That Eddie paid Beams' gambling debts

There's so many rumours about Beams return and subsequent exit, it's hard to discern the mayo from the French vinegarette.

 

[Ginnieboy]

That high ranking officials within the club refused to draft me because they knew I was going to end up the best Collingwood player of all time.

You think the club is paying me? I didn't even get my membership cap last year!

Jarryd Blair had incriminating photo’s of Nathan Buckley.

That high ranking officials within the club refused to draft me because they knew I was going to be s**t...

 

[Quicky]

That the Rand Corporation, in conjuction with the saucer people, under the supervision of the reverse vampires, forced the 2002 GF goal umpire to rule Roccas goal a point in a fiendish plot to eliminate the joy of GF victory from Magpie hearts!

In 2011, the AFL intervened and gave Swan the Brownlow over Judd after the debacle the year prior.

 

[Copeland]

Leigh Mathew’s with a players wife, any truth?

Chrisso's wife I believe it was.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Has Brownless remarried?

 

[Vicky Park]

Wrong. It’s Will Hoskin-Elliott. And the photos are of Fly.

Jaidyn Stephenson in 2020, in the Covid hub in QLD/WA/Fiji (maybe not Fiji):

• Punched Harvey or Sanderson or someone else (seems fair)
• Gamed all night and kept Josh Daicos awake, which caused Peter Daicos to call the club and complain
• Smuggled girls (or was it horses?) into his room and broke the AFL Covid rules
• Sulked
• Cried
• Wanted to go home
• Had another punch-on

 

[What is a cakewalk]

Despite Eddie's insistence to the contrary i firmly believe that our ground being atop the burnley tunnel and subsequently quite firm was a big contributor to our soft tissue issues for most of the 2010s.

I had originally wondered that too, but when I saw that the path of the tunnel goes under the old glasshouse which has a diving pool + foundations that the tunnel must pass under (not to mention the Yarra a little further along) that tunnel must be many meters below the oval surface. I just can’t see how a hard substrate that far down could make any difference.

Could it affect soil hydrology perhaps? I can’t imagine that it would be good for tunnel longevity for it to interfere too much with the natural soil hydrology.

I think it’s a good hypothesis to explore, but I just can’t see any failure modes that would make it plausible.

I think we once had a thread on the topic of the ground surface and our plethora of soft tissue injuries. We had contributions from posters who had knowledge about the local geology, access to relevant data, engineers who worked on big tunnels, etc, etc.

I can’t recall the conclusion, but with hindsight it might have been the fault of that pesky fitness coach - Devoran.

Or the Reid family genes.

Or the AIA Centre is a UFO landing site.

You left out the best bit: peed into Noble’s cup and poor John drank it, resulting in it being very awkward when he went to North and their head coach was Noble’s dad.

 

[sideswipe]

North's Escort Cup win after the umpire didn't hear the siren. Aylett fixed the result.

That Gavin Crosisca wouldn't play a game without a joint before the bounce

We’re through the looking glass here people!

None of these would surprise me one bit except maybe the women, I’m thinking they were ladies

I thought the rumour was that he pissed in Noble's drink?

I thought his poison was speed.
