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 ?

    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!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
