And when the trade and draft is over I reckon the pundits will give us a big fat F.

He needs to step aside, before he destroys his entire legacy with the club.

Agree Jezza

It is not the place of members to address the President in this manner. Actually your tone was confrontational and demanding. Ed is elected by the Board to lead our Club. He does not have to put up with the armchair critics who think they can do a better job. He has a great track record at delivering Collingwood to financial success and turning our Club into a multi franchise corporate powerhouse the envy of all other sporting Clubs in Australia, if not the Southern Hemisphere. I have had small small issues with Ed such as the Beanie and Social Club, but these are nothing. Ed and Coach Nathan will deliver us glory. These trade week issues are really just funny. Who cares if a couple of players leave . We get to save millions and build a young team of champions. The President should not be bothered by low ranking members who think they can have a say in a multi million dollar business. What qualifications do these members have to be advising on trade deals? Or business issues? None I bet! You must declare your loyalty to the President and Coach or sod off! And for the dumb and dumber who claim I am a troll. Well you are the trolls who attack our President, Coach, and Club. Disloyal trolls who should be gifted Carlton memberships so we can go into 2021 in the knowledge that we will be glorious in victory . Side by Side does not mean you have a right to attack or question the President. Shame Shame Shame


Your act is growing tired.


Yes and it’s boring as now. Your timing today is just terrible. Piss off Hiss.


Abusing me or anyone else who believes our Club will get through this says more about the bully you are than anything else. It’s really simple, if you don’t like what others say in defending our Club , President, Coach, etc, than mind your own bloody business and ignore them. You don’t own social media and are not the almighty authority on Collingwood matters you think you are. You prolifically post which worries others and can be annoying. Simple message : ignore my posts and mind your own business. I am perfectly entitled to stick by the Club over this issue and not be abused by bullying trolls. So you can take your own insults and apply them to yourself.

Collingwood has teminated these two players for a REASON, and we are not being, or wont be, told the real reason. WHY were NO big Clubs interested in either of them, NO Dons , Blues, Cats, Hawks, etc, only lowly skint Norf, who dont even have a friggin coach, and the Dogs. NO big Clubs wanted to touch either of them, so go figure that out. There has to be reasons why, and we are not being told, we may never know why. Thats my take on it, NOW, this morning in the cold light of day.

Exactly. When you look at the 3 players we let go, all of them have serious flaws.

Treloar - physical and mental concerns - massive unknown with his family situation in 2021.
Stephenson - severe deterioration in output with excuses. Has he been worked out by opposition coaches? Maybe he's peaked.
Phillips - even worse drop off in form since 2018 with no excuses.

While we aren't in better shape after the trading period, we also are not in worse shape.

Every human being living on this planet has flaws. If you terminated everybody at the club for having flaws your playing list would be reduced to zero.

Not sure what's hard to understand. These three players are flawed and have contracts that pay too much.

Hence why they are traded out.

So picks 65 and 70 for Stephenson and Philips isn’t worse? I am sure with those picks we will obtain one player that will be rookie of the year next year and another that will finish top 10 in our b&f two years in a row. Or, maybe not.

But it’s also freed up $900k in salary
