    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.

    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'?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
