    And if we said to North, we will get you Stephensen for Brown and then force Pies to take a lower 2nd round pick, as they just have to salary dump,  it gets better.

    There was no maths. It was all player greed

    Beams didn’t write the ridiculous contract. 
    Treloar signed what was put in front of him

     

    It wouldn't surprise me if all big Collingwood contract have to be approved by Ed.

    It depends on what he was being told. It would not be the first time that a large company mislead the Chief through incompetence. I remember a while back a MFC chief had a drawer full of invoices that were not declared.

    so is it a waste of time checking in here to see progress?

    or will social media drop any useful trade info before official release time?

    refresh this page every 30 seconds to be on the safe side  ?

    Quite possible, but basic maths has been neglected. There is no excuse for this

    The Filth have lied to their own players big time

    That's because he was still paying his $600.000 desk off?

    I think this is unfair for two reasons. Firstly, the final decision whether to pay the amount sought is the club's, not the player's. Secondly, players do not necessarily know what their teammates are being paid, so wouldn't know where they fit in the pecking* order at the club and therefore whether they are getting what is fair and reasonable or not.

     

    (I know we're talking about Magpies, but this was an unintended pun.)

    You Miss understand 

    this was Collingwood Player Greed, not the individual players

    The Filth wanted the great list and worry about paying them money later. 
    They still have Grundy to worry about

    This is so “how not to run a business”

    no wonder McGuire has quit Radio ? 

    May they implode for many more days yet

    Franklin's contract moved the goalposts by a massive margin.What looked like a stupid play was quickly lauded as a masterstroke due to increases in the salary cap(media deals).The AFL is a very small bubble and the mantra turned into its own echo chamber. Now that bubble has burst big time.

    Will clubs learn from it. Probably not as every bad decision can be justified at the time it is made. It's only hindsight that makes them look poor.

    MFC  has made a few of its own.

    If they have any brains they will move away from x years at $Y dollars, and start talking salary cap percentages. Maybe not for the whole contract, but for the future years which exist say 2-3 years away or after the next EBA.

    For the bigger contracts anyway.

    The union will never agree to that one Deanox. They already think their share of Revenue  is too low.

    What a total [censored] up. Edward must be going bezerk right now

    Which heads will roll?

    This from the fox website should answer some questions.

    Dual premiership Kangaroo David King said it was unfathomable how quickly the Pies have run into their TPP issue.  I think there’ll be a Royal Commission into how they go into this situation at Collingwood,” King told Trading Day.“Ned Guy, he’s acting like the Candy Man handing out contracts down there. It’s unbelievable what some of these guys are on.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying that the players as a group forced the club to pay "overs"?

    As i read it players were asking for overs and the pies kept caving in.

    Mahoney indicating having 2 picks in the 20-30 range could see us picking up a couple of players that will slide due to the lack of exposed (current) form in the junior ranks.

    Then in the next breath hasn't ruled out making more pick swaps!

    No. I am saying Collingwood wanted a list of A Grade Players with no regard as to how they would be paid. 
    The Players don’t assemble the List

    The Club does all that

    Thanks for clarifying. I think we agree, don't we, that the problem is the club's making, not the players'?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
