Roast Why Derek?

[TheGreatGrundy]

Well he won't be list manager next year. Back to a recruiter.

He should not even be a recruiter. He is well and truly past his use by date and should have been exited from the club. No wonder I find it difficult to sustain interest in this club.

Couldn't agree more with the last sentence.

 

[Buckley is my hero]

I was under the false impression we had an inquiry into the football department to prevent the sort of errors of the past regarding trading/drafting for players that won't help us in the longer term, such as Lynch, Armstrong, Young, Russell and White. A second round draft pick next year could well equate to a pick in the low twenties and we find ourselves giving it away to an untried rookie, who is admittedly quick, but has issues with his kicking. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already have a number of players with suspect kicking? Why add another one??

If anyone from BF is bothering to go to the members forum, can you question this trade if you get the chance?

 

[Adz]

Have decided to select “no team” on my afl membership renewal.

 

[jimmy35]

At least we did a trade. So many people wail and gnash because we weren't trading.
Hard to please some people.

lol. I might do the same.
The pricks don't regard us as members anyway.
Wouldn't give a flipping stupid cap.
Could not be pettier.

 

[Justlokan]

Is this the chicken little board? I wonder where you'll all be if Murray wins the Rising Star and Sydney trade back the 2nd round pick to us next year.

 

[10571z]

Bloke has officially lost it.

 

[ash84]

Won’t miss him

 

[anshell]

Really,it's a long time since he's done anything significant on the recruiting or trading front.He's been living off his reputation for a long time,and now the chickens are coming home to roost.It's time to move him on before he does any more damage to the club.

Agree, don't put any hope for whoever we take at pick 6.

 

[Crazy Tails]

The old Twitter hash tag of #InHineWeTrust seems so long ago!

Definitely wont be trending this trade period. Time to move on.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

We have sacked him as list manager. But as per usual Eddie the Eagle can't make the hard call and just fire him and tries to get him to go back to 'talent' spotting. Any businessman knows you can't keep people around who have been demoted, you actually have to fire them, on the spot!!!!

But the Eagles is not even a businessmans a hole, hence the stupid decisions that keep being made eg Lets get Gubby on the sly and shat Balmey. He will be happy with a lesser role. How'd that work out Eddie you ****wit. Not only cost us Balme but landed Mayne.

Lol.

So because people wanted us to actually do something in the period designed to improve your list/draft position, people cannot be unhappy when we again constantly get reamed at the trade table?

You're right, we'll end up with egg on our face just like we did when Mayne killed it this season.......

 

[Imatinib]

Collingwood's performance in the trade period:

.. F

 

[Temploar]

The dekkabus has well and truly crashed.

 

[jimmy35]

People wanted things done just for the sake of doing something. Sometimes it's better to sit on your hands.

But people are hard to please.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Sydney loved us long time.

Yes, Collingwood fans not wanting our club to get bent over without lube in the trade period is us being very hard to please, we're so demanding aren't we .

In reality, any of clubs in the AFL would've said "We'll give you a 3rd rounder for your rookie otherwise he can walk to us in the rookie draft, take it or leave it" and Sydney would've reluctantly agreed in the 11th hour because the player wanted out.

Now instead of losing pick 60 or whatever we will probably be giving pick 21-22 in one of the best recent drafts.... So hard to please

Don't whinge at me I agree. Whinge at the people that just had to have a trade. Any trade. Because it's trade week.
As I said sitting on your hands isn't good enough for some people.

 

[spartan-magpie]

We could have got watts and his salary part paid?

We could have got shakes? (Happy we didn’t because he’s a big chicken)

We could have got jake stringer?

We could have got saad?


I know this kid is quick, but gees, we go rammed without lube.

Wtf is going here? I hope he ends up being another Howe type success story, but FMD, this looks appalling.

 

[DraftBalta]

Sack him, teabag him, ship him off to Carlton
