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!!!

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
