Spent the last 2 hours reading the replies to Bucks tweet. Some seriously angry supporters and a heaps of them. Heads are going to have to roll, they can't get through this unscathed.

Agree. Lost 3 players who were seriously overpaid for what they actually contributed. Treloar on $750k Phillips on $600k Stephenson on $350k. Really.  Screw them.

    Beware the Pies and Eddie's ego.

    They may look to trade in someone big coming out of contract next season to win back disgruntled supporters 

     But gee whiz it would have to be a total game changer to recover from this farce of trade period...

    I can’t see any immediate recovery imv.

    Eddie's ego is about wrestling back support not immediate recovery.

    Nothing like a big signing to build hope and garner favour with the masses

    True but I think members and supporters are getting smarter and looking through the bull dust nowadays.

    The impact of being in the hub on players hasn't really been given much exposure. It's something that Weideman commented on in terms of his own loss of form across the last few rounds.

    From what Stephenson said it was pretty tough on the single guys whose families who at home when other players had their families with them.

    Apparently players signed an agreement that they are banned from talking publicly about what happens in the hub.

    But what player would accept their shiny pieces of silver to play in a snake pit.  'Back-ended' silver at that.

    I can imagine the conversation. "We'll back-end your contract son, all good, you can trust us"

    Out:   Treloar, Phillips, Stephenson, Atu, pick 39, pick 42

    In:    Pick 14, future 2nd, pick 65, pick 70

    With Beams 'retiring' it is 3 players costing 5 recent first round draft picks that were sent packing. 

    But they save $1.5m a year in sal cap...Hmmm.

    Clubs should take heed of how Geelong manage their sal cap.  The List Manager does the first cut and then they meet with the Finance Department to keep it manageable.  And they have sign off rules that go right up to Board level for player contracts > x.  In comparison Coll sounds like the Wild West!

    Btw, rumour has it that Beams was brought back at Eddie's behest.  He cost 2 1st round picks and reportedly $500k pa for 4 years and played 9 games in 2 years.  Won't play again.  But mud won't stick on Eddie.  Ned Guy will be the fall guy.

    I can see Coll 'tanking' 2021 to fast track a 'rebuild'. 

    If they end up bottom 3 -5 they will get a pick that will probably be high enough to get a top player before a bid on Daicos (F/S). 

    Two top 10 players will be a good start and might soothe the masses a little...well those that are left after the membership cancellations.  They lost 10,000 this year.  More losses to come.

    Add to that Stephenson was given the boot based on his former indiscretions (gambling) and bad form this year

    To be fair, there were rumours that Stephenson's behaviour in the hub might have been a problem, that and his preparation (again rumours) were somewhat below professional expectations.   

    If you read closely between the lines and his desire to be away from the club to relax in the company of his family and friends you might see a similarity with a former Demon who has just moved clubs again.

    Eddie’s team is already making an application to the AFL for special draft assistance.

    You would have to think this would affect future recruitment. My would you take a large money long deal offered by the Pies?

    Take a lesser deal some where  else that has a lot better chance of being honoured. It is hard to believe that there are not a few players still there who would now be looking at options for 2022.

    With their aging list, it is going to take more than 2 top picks at the end of 2021.

    It's not the most up to date this playing list is but by the time next year rolls around 11 players are 30 and a handful more are 28+.

    Spoke to a Collingwood mate today who has been a member for decades, never missed a season, and he is now thinking of switching teams and he was dead serious.

    Thats how angry their supporters are.

    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?????

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
