I wonder how much of Treloar's salary they had to agree to pay to get such a good deal from the Dogs?

The whole thing smacks of salary cap planning disaster.  Maybe they assumed Pendlebury would have retired by now?

Well, now they need to him stick around a couple more years.

 

The Grundy contract is going to be a massive problem for them

$300k per year for 5 years.

Paying 1.5mil to have a player NOT play for you.

Incredible.

Seems like a good deal Victoria paid $60bn to not build a tunnel.

I wonder if this will affect Lumumba's lawsuit?

Pro; Further evidence that Collingwood marginalises players who don't fit in perfectly, and then treat them like s...

Con; Evidence that being [censored] to everyone is just the Collingwood way rather than being specifically racially motivated.

Yep, some interesting rumours...if true then the Tiges boys should get a refund.

...but they (C/Wood) handled the outcome poorly in how they let him go.

Also their coach made a mockery of the hub...not exactly setting a good example.

...but the big one is the contempt they have shown their supporter group.

I guess the arrogance must come from the top, I can't quite think who it might be?????

 

The problem is with the members. They're the ones who keep the Board and the Chairman in place. If the members are disatisfied they have all the power to force change. 


Hard to believe that Buckley is playing the sympathy card:  My toughest day in footy....bar none.

Meanwhile some of his best kids have just had their hearts broken after he pushed them out of the club.   Always two sides to a story but hey he is supposed to be the grown up.

Sorry Sam Edmunds for thinking Buckley response to you would have had more honesty than your story.

It’s how they did so that is so baffling, just crazy to treat them like that, then Buckley lying about the Treloar meeting, far out!!

I was listening to SEN when Edmunds made the statement on air. He was absolutely rock solid, saying he had cross checked all his sources again and again. 
That’s when I knew the Filth were in serious trouble. 
I cannot believe that Today, Buckley has not said “We had to cut players for Salary cap reasons, i apologize on behalf of the Filth, to Players and Members”

At least be honest. Their Behavior today is disgusting, they are almost blaming the players. F$&@ that

Your List Management stinks...

Compare this to the way that MFC do business these days and we can be incredibly proud that, in these days of Trumpism and bad character, we treat people in the right way and are good to do business with. It counts for an awful lot, in the end, to look after your people properly.

I don't believe it is Buckley's problem. Other people would have been telling him we are sweet with salary cap then he gets told $2 million has to go! Add I reckon everyone in the pies camp was told no comment anyone including players concerned or you lose your job. I don't think he created the problem. Those that did have the explaining to do.

Buckley is the one making Statements 

He would be well aware of the situation from a long way back...

Players cost money and if you put them on a contract that is signed, that contract should be honoured 

There was no way they could ever pay all those contracts, and to then lie about it is disgusting ?

Watched him being interviewed on Fox...he looked like a dead man walking.

Tipping he's next out the door at C/wood.

Was hung out to dry.

Will be scapegoated to protect the bigger egos.

Exactly RJay.

Their Board would have signed off on all the big contarcts - Treloer, Grundy etc. 

But Buckley's laying the blame on the senior players re: Treloar and  '.. Im just passing on the feedback..."  type comments, along with ignoring Stephenson is a disgrace and will be an ongoing blight on his reputation. Leader? - you're joking.

Stephenson was likely troubled in his gambling year big time, media pile on etc, and then a maojr illness pre-season. What did they think was going to happen to the kid. He's only 21 for gawds sake.

Message: Don't own up to mental illness or fraility at the Pies - your on your own.

D17 I don't think it has anything do with all that. IMO they needed to shed $2+ million and looked at where best that could be achieved. Treloar was the big one and when his wife moved north that thought great he will follow her, here is our big chance and it blew up in their faces when he said no quite happy here. The others were just easy pickings. It was only after the event that they started making up excuses.

Never in my time watching footy have I ever seen an entire football supporter group revolt against a decision like this. The Filth are filthy and embarrassed.

That contract is already biting them and will continue to do so for many years to come. No player is worth a 7 year contract, let alone a ruckman. He'll be getting paid $1,000,000 still at 34 years old! Probably the biggest list management [censored]-up of all time.

Cheers to the Pies destroying themselves!


Sounds like the Collingwood fan base are revolting.

I'd be very careful about laughing at Collingwood. This could well be us with Clarry and Petracca next off season.

No, but we're celebrating another team losing 3 best 22 players when we could lose 2 best 22 players and the two best Melbourne players in my 33 years of following the club.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
