Pies get legal advice on new board member O’Donnell

It has begun.

The culmination of 12 years of machinations, relationship breakdowns, and a fiefdom run by 2 blokes in two blokes in particular (Eddie and FIGJAM) is about to explode spectacularly.

I've said elsewhere that I always thought that Eddie would bide his time and then make another sortie for a board position. With Browne the candidate making moves at the top job, I have changed my position. Eddie's ego will heartily agree with getting rid of the board who gave him his marching orders for one led by one of his cronies while he spends his time using his not insignificant media platform rehabilitating his reputation. Either way, the upcoming s***fight will be fascinating.?

 
 

Don't sack Bucks yet wait till after the Queens Birthday game. Cannot remember a coach being sacked after playing Melbourne. Have we ever been a coach killer besides our own coach, been plenty of those.

With zero research I am confident the answer is no.

I think they sacked Tommy Hafey after the Dees beat them in 1982 but not 100% sure 

 

 

What a bizarre world we're in where the boards are dominated by threads like this, and none related to "is Goodwin the right guy", "Trade Petracca" etc.

I'd say Eddie is on track to become Graeme Richmond for the digital age: a bloke tight with the media who is pulling all the strings on the marionette, but the strings will ultimately be too long.


One thing I’ve take out of both Bartlett and Roffey’s Deeluded podcast is the statements about presidents and boards needed to be refreshed. A president should only be around for approx 5 years and then refresh…. 
 

PS Korda and the gentleman who just resigned have both been on the board since the noughts for goodness sake.

Every time he speaks about Collingwood I just think… shut up, just let it go, move on, be a fan not a mouthpiece, they got rid of you, you made a mess of it..

It'd be nice for someone to tell him that to his face. Part of the reason he carries on like he is boss cocky 24/7 is that he seems to exclusively associate with blokes who are 1) in awe of him or 2) blokes like S. Newman who are cut from the same ocker cloth.

I'm not as negative about the Pert appointment as I was when it first happened, but I wonder if Eddie deciding to unilaterally take the Queens Birthday fixture off us in 2019 coincided with the appointment of a bloke who was in his clique at Collingwood? If he tried to pull that on PJ, I could imagine the reaction; he would have gotten told calmly but sternly where to get off.

Added one more caveat to who Eddie associates with.

eddie will soon come to realise that the qb clash with the mighty dees will be the filth's grand final game

and long may it last

Never cost me a penny. My company used to make them. Freezer was always full at home.

He can't. It seems it's a big part of his identity. It's for sure he will try to keep pulling strings, but even his mate Browne won't be quite the marionette Eddie might think. As said above, the strings will only get longer and slacker.

Coincidentally, I recently finished a full read of The Pentagon Papers and 'A coup would not be good for the club' was one of the more frequent quotes.

Basically the story goes, 'Don't plot a coup, we need stability and have to hope this current lot get their act together,' to 'Don't plot a coup, we've been backing this lot through all kinds of corruption and atrocity so it would make us look idiotic to flip now'.

Until, finally, 'Okay, there's been a coup and this new lot are just as bad, but don't plot a coup, we need stability so we have to hope this current lot get their act together.'

Continue the melody with minor variations until fall of Saigon.

Grant Thomas?  your card is marked at St Kilda if you lose to the Dees

Adding a separate thought about Korda's confidence level;

"I can tell you behind the scenes membership is over 80,000,"  and 24,000 of them turned up for the game against the Suns.

In fact, Collingwood haven't cracked 30,000 for a home game against an interstate team this season.

Unlike, say, minnow club Melbourne.


Until Ross Lyon, the previous  three St Kilda coaches had been sacked after losses to Melbourne

Yeah, can't remember who 'cause I don't really give a fork but I'm sure we have a bunch of scalps.
There was often opposition upheaval after loses to us.

This will keep giving it appears the woman put on the board yesterday May in fact not be eligible.

I’m a little worried about QB this year, after all it’s going to be their Grand Final. ?

Christ, this guy gets around. Holding down our defence AND undermining the CFC board. Go big Steve.

 

 

In a bad year, sometimes the only thing to look forward to is on or off field drama at Collingwood. This year we have it all!

AHHHHHHHHHH (sips cognac)

GO DEMONS!!!

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
