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!!!

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
