Don’t you love sport!… where you can be a complete [censored] of society and people still celebrate you!

If Collingwood had balls and were strong, you [censored] off DeGoey and keep Grundy!

This is Collingwood we’re talking about. The club which does this type of thing…

This is how they treat the sons of a Legend of the Club. Fair enough, delist them if you must, but at least afford them the dignity of a heads up.

And once again Collingwood have hitched their wagon to the De Goey post. Enjoy another half season of him on the park and occasional big game performance.

I really hope the Collingwood supporters look at this as letting go of Grundy for De Goey.

Then Brodie can become a multiple premiership player at Melbourne, and Jordy will do something dumb in February and waste their cash.

what makes you think he can last that long?

Wonder which Court in New York stipulated condition of release for De Goey and how long he was to adhere to the condition.

Would have been at least 12 months..criminal court?


I don't know about Collingwood. They're sort of 'all duck no dinner' if that makes sense.

what do you even mean? tell him he's going to be delisted before his exit meeting?? then its just gonna be a shock to the system two weeks earlier when they're still in season? this literally makes sense. the whole point of the exit meeting is to discuss what their future is and recap their season. no better time to drop the news

I didn't read the article but I kind of assumed the worst that he wasn't even told that he was going to be de-listed and found out in the papers or something. That is much, much worse!

You can’t tell me players aren’t given some sort of idea beforehand, in particular when they’re to be jettisoned. From an outsider’s pov (which we all are) this is how it goes (bolded, above) but as is the case with everything to do with footy, a lot happens about which we know nothing. The very fact that Callum was shocked to find he’s been delisted says it all, imo. 
I’m no psychologist but I think in this day and age in these situations young players are handled with kid gloves.

Of course that’d be infinitely worse. But not having even an inkling of what’s about to befall these boys is pretty harsh.

It's not pleasant and I'd hope that they treated him and his brother with the utmost respect. I guess a lot of clubs do things differently, some get an inkling a few weeks out that they won't be offered a new deal and some by the look of it get the news all in one hit.

I agree if that is the case WCW. But I just find it hard to believe that a player would be broadsided in an exit meeting. As in any workplace, players would have goals and KPI’s to be achieved during the year. A player should know if they are not shaping up. 

This is true, NC. Either they weren’t regularly updated as to their performance and therefore this has come as a shock. Or they were regularly updated but didn’t/couldn’t see the signs of what was to come. These are boys in their early 20s. The club psychologist or well-being officer or whomever is tasked with looking after players’ mental health should have known and would have the wherewithal to make this outcome not as hard hitting as it clearly is. 

is gooey actually signed up by the filth?

news on radio saying the aints are still in race

i'm confused or maybe i should get my hearing checked

The “ brothers “ are absolutely filthy on their delisting & how it was handled

Where he is concerned DC nothing would surprise me.

And who can blame them?! Disgraceful treatment of a couple of young guys. 

Saints going hard with 3.2m contract

Still hasn't signed with the Pies yet

His manager would be hoping De Goey can keep his powder dry until he signs the new contract. so to speak

Officially re-signed at the Filfth - a match made in a dumpster if ever there was one!

https://www.afl.com.au/news/852390

Edited by grazman


De Goey has taken the Pies to the cleaners.

5 year contract instead of 4.

 

 

 

Saints will have to play the long game now and pick him up in a salary dump in 2 years time.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
