Bombay Airconditioning

My mate who is a Pies supporter is of the opinion he’s currently on 400k per season.

Normally no but in the case of Oliver he self destructed so he should at least be considering it.

Has this happened with any other sporting club / code in the world? Look at the AFL they clearly don’t listen to the fans, a lot of people thought the appointment of Greg Sawn was what the game needed to get the game back to what it was, he was in the chair for all of five minutes and has already floated a finals system consisting of ten teams.

He’s 32 so a two year deal yes. Any idea what’s he’s currently getting paid?

Alarming similarities to the AFL, in addition to that a potential ten team finals system.

No one go to this weeks game, that will send a message.

Won’t be watching and don’t care about the result, the Dees could win by 100 but it will mean nothing, the damage has already been done. Heading O/S next Friday for a few weeks and will miss the remainder of the H & A season. We actually booked our holiday at the start of the year to be back in time for the last two weeks of the finals because we foolishly thought with our easy draw we were a real chance to be playing finals and if things went our way with our new gameplan….How wrong we were.

I’ve said this before on here, that listening to her when she was on channel 7 she was quite informative where as Nathan Jones added nothing.

The kid can play.

Would not be fussed losing both Lever and Oliver at this point. I know people have been justified with their criticism of Fritsch for the bulk of the season but we’ve seen recently how damaging he can be. I think it would be very foolish to let him go, I think with a new coach and relevant gameplan he will be back at his best. Another player I raised earlier was Buku Khamas from the Dogs, currently just outside their best 22, he’s 191cm, fast, can take a grab and reasonable set shot. Would cost bugger all to get him and honestly what are our other options. I’d like to see him up fwd with Fritsch and Melksham, very dangerous trio if the delivery is right to an open fwd line. Trac and Viney are keeps for me, we can’t get rid of everyone, it will set us back too far and we don’t have to.

I know May is getting on but he’s quite versatile over his career, hopefully he can play for another two seasons. I’ve wanted to give Turner more time fwd but if he is to stay in defence we are quite strong there and are set for a while with Turner turning 25 next year & Petty 26. May on the other hand is 34 next year.

What good does waiting until seasons end do? If I’m an undecided player I’d like to know now.

Trade out Oliver & Salem yes.

Hopefully gone by morning. Take CEO / President out of it for a minute, you know you’re gone, you’re going to get paid, just make it smooth.

This.

Agreed.

Was that the biggest 3/4 time comeback in the games history?

Simon says I’m staying so stuff you all. Pay him out and be done with it, I’ll throw in $250 to kick things off.

And yet many think a 19th & 20th team is sustainable in this competition, it’s only going to get worse.

Is it? Ok what about the relevance of last weeks game against Carlton?

I agree in part, kicking skills is one thing, running to space to receive & running to create space is another and requires no kicking skills. I’ve said many times before this year, not all of Collingwood’s players are great kicks but they do the other things so well, plus their effort and pressure is normally pretty good. We need to stop making excuses, it’s been Goodwin’s list for a while now, he needs to take ownership.

We will go nowhere until the FD is replaced.

Barrel “the first time now the second time”, this has been going on for years….

In addition to this the saying in footy it’s not just who you play but when you get them, ie after a short break, after a bye, multiple players out injured. But at this time of year most teams are starting to hit their straps yet with us it’s almost like we reset every week and any momentum gained the week before is completely lost. We cannot use youth as a reason which could be understandable with some other teams.
