It’s interesting the North were open about their reason for not appealing the Curtis ruling - ie. we don’t think we have any chance of winning an appeal

It’s not out of the norm exec level roles have at least a six month notice period. If we hadn’t spent six something months stuffing about with the hiring process this wouldn’t be so much of an issue

The haircut ain’t helping 😂 saw someone on Twitter describe it as wet dog hair

To be a complete Debbie Downer I’m 💯 that we’re going to lose over there & bring that pressure right back on ourselves. And with all due respect to Melk who has been a good player for a long time he is DONE, the problem is there’s not much in the cupboard And if it’s a choice between Spargo & Sharp I’d go with the quick one. Not convinced Spargo’s pressure & 1%ers are enough to warrant selection

Pretty sure it’s that mullet keeping Tholstrup in the side 😂

He’s looked fantastic so far. My only query/flag/concern is that he is very very left-sided

Norm could probably tell he was a [censored] of a bloke 😂😂😂

Sadly my relationship with the club is more like this - quote Cathy in Wuthering Heights ‘My love for Heathcliff (Melbourne FC) resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary…He's (Melbourne) always, always in my mind: not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself, but as my own being 😂😂😂

If we’re choosing between three average players I pick the fast one - Sharp

Strewth I don’t think the ANZACs fought for Hugh Sheridan to butcher Bridge Over Troubled Waters 😂

First charges but not the first time Balta has been involved in a public punch on, he’s got form

Why because I didn’t meekly sit back and thank the poster for patronising me? Besides that, who are you that I want your respect

The response is exceeedingly patronising, literally mansplaining it back to me. It’s assuming that I know absolutely nothing about football. That’s what mansplaining is, without any evidence it’s been assumed I have no background knowledges and I need things explained to me I’ll break it down for you It's not hard to understand ...he plays for himself. Culture killer. Yes, I watch football and am aware that Jack Ginnivan is an extremely selfish player The best clubs understand that a team is a mix of people and personalities as much as football or positional abilities. Again, I have watched VFL/AFL football for 38 years, I am aware that teams need a balance of personalities & selfish players are not great teammates The pies are very strong and well run club and have a bold FD that act on what they are seeing. For the third time, anyone nuffie enough to be posting in a footy forum is likely to know that Collingwood are a well run club He's been OK at the Hawks in a team they were trying to inject personality into. Now they're getting serious he'll fall by the wayside. As I mentioned earlier, I watch footy & I know Ginnivan had a decent 2024 but hasn’t had a great start to season 2025 And after all of that my original question wasn’t answered. What I want to know is why Collingwood were happy to let go of a premiership player, one who they publicly supported on many occasions.

Maybe the problem is tis new happy & relaxed version of Ross Lyon 😂

This isn’t explaining what happened in the trade this is you mansplaining what you think me & my ovaries don’t understand

There is something to be said for giving Chandler more opportunity further up the ground. He has the pace & he competes hard. Hopefully he’ll continue to get a run in that position rather than deep forward

I’d love the tea on that trade. There’s got to be a reason they were so happy to get rid of him

It’s funny isn’t it - even if we leave the Brayshaw stuff out of the conversation I’ve only ever viewed him as a sniper and yet he’s lauded as tough

Taylor froths for Collingwood like they didn’t drop him for the 1990 premiership 😂

Tholstrup straight in is insanity

Claz & Spud Murphy from Trainspotting

It seems like Gus was the personality that kept the equilibrium in the group. A massive call to make about one player but it feels like he was THAT important. I’ll never ever forgive that weak dog Maynard, or forget the pissweak response from the AFL. Or the fact the Collingwood fans cheered as Brayshaw was carted off. Outside of that I’m a completely sane & balanced person 😂

And Horse hs a good track record of making the most of low skill players 😂

Mine are too but I don’t have them involved in discussions with my employer

I realise I’m in the minority here but Trac is a grown adult, why are the club talking to his parents? At times it feels like these blokes are treated like giant primary school kids
