They’re in for a world of pain unless Bucks starts getting some W’s. Lucky for them, they play North this week.

Once Pendlebury retires, they are in a world of nowhere for quite a while

Happy Happy, Joy Joy ?

I’m hoping that they have a few wins before they play us so they don’t have to treat the QB game as their grand final although we do need their crowd.

Also would prefer they finish about 4th last so that come draft time, someone nominates Nick Daicos ahead of their pick.

Imagine if the pies finished last and then had to give the no.1 pick to gws!

The FIG is the last domino to fall now...

 

Graham Wright needs a bit of a blow torch applied I think. He gets given a lot of kudos for the Hawks success but very little looking under the rug of the last 4 years of terrible trades and lost topping up of the list. 

Goes to the Pies and it all turns pear shaped, but things are tracking nicely to reappoint Nafan. Lols.

“I am very excited to take on the General Manager of Football position at Collingwood, and look forward to the opportunity to work with Nathan Buckley, the players and staff at the club,” Wright said.

“Following a strong 2020 campaign and with a fresh crop of talent from last year’s draft, I am clearly stepping into a program with a strong foundation and a desire for even greater success.”

Actually, just realised they traded their first round pick last year. Bad luck Pies.

I've always disliked Pendlebury for his off field demeanour. He strikes me as a bit of a snob, or a grump. As he's Buckley's biggest advocate and seems to be completely silent on the club's past problems, maybe Pendlebury is part of the cultural problem down there too? So on the contrary, maybe the club benefits from a fresh start without him and Buckley in the future.

I heard a whisper last Saturday that the AFL told The Filth to get rid of those 3 players last Summer or get done for Salary Cap breaches. 
even after dumping the 3, they are still in massive trouble, as in a lot more will happen. 
i will be watching with interest. 
The 3 Players they offloaded are the 3 they need the most.

Possibly, but i don’t see a lot of leadership once he goes. 
Not that I know their list closely

His post trade week interview is up there with Jacko on Open Mike as my favourite sport interviews ever. 
 

Massive fan of train wreck TV. 

The way the Filth are going (and also with historical resign/re-sign posts), did anyone else have to open the thread to check before being completely sure what it was about?


Tom Morris said tonight on FOX that Guy asked to resign after trade week last year, but will stay until the end of the mid season draft. It doesn't really make sense to me and sounds like Collingwood are continuing the spin.

Eddie left a trainwreck 

Hardly a fall guy - the List manager overseeing the last 3 years must go and quick.  Not saying he is solely responsible but clearly had a fair bit to do with this mess

No Salary cap, No stars - how does that work? And they don't have any young guns coming through aside from Daics x2

Expect blokes like Howe to get chucked out next

It's bloody wonderful to see the Pies flailing about. The Bummers too.

Just need the Weagles to fall in a heap to complete the trifecta.

 

How funny would it be to see Norf bid with pick 1 for Daicos, and the pies spend their entire draft points matching it?

Wonder whether the list management moves undertaken last year by cfc and Guy were partly done in the belief they could attract trac. With that falling through perhaps Guy has fallen on his sword 


If the pies are to sort themselves out I think the first contract they have to deal with is Grundy’s. Trade him or renegotiate the terms. Adelaide will have decent picks so I’d seriously consider cutting him loose.

Pendles still has 2-3 years left in him to lead the rebuild, find a spot off half forward perhaps but hold onto him as long as you can

De Goey is another on big money who is not justifying his wage at all. He’s not leadership material so perhaps let Carlton have for their first round pick.

Anyways, they’re in a bad way and I will not be surprised if North roll them this weekend.

I have zero inside info, but this is the only logical explanation in my opinion. How else could they find themselves in such a mess, and still be under cap pressure after ditching those 3 contracts. Either that or someone stuffed up the formula on the excel spreadsheet.

 

I think he has been scapegoated. The Grundy and Beams deals were ticked off at board level so above his head. He was one of a number of people responsible for this but ultimately interference from the board was the problem. That Beams deal is one of the worst ever signed by an AFL club and that one is Eddie's fault.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
