That's an odd comparison. We don't sack coaches and we haven't finished 9th since 2001.Mr Miyagi wrote:We’ve turned into Richmond supporters when they were finishing ninth and sacking their coach every two years.

Agree entirely. Absolutely ludicrous trade!!!!!Piesnchess wrote:A Shocking and a terrible decision, we have been right royally screwed, at least should have got Norfs pick 2 for him. Bloody hell, he had one rotten season, in Hub life, and other issues, and we dump him like a dirty dinner ?? For this ??. Utterly disgusted, a dreadful decision, we will rue the day on this "deal". They can stick their Membership up their arse, im done. Done.

Other teams have worked him out, how to play him off the ball and limit his influence. We over-payed him on a promise that he didn't deliver. We have WHE, as far as I'm concerned these two are the same, keep one, move on the other. It feels bad to lose a talented player with potential but as Mick said he is a 'Scaredy Cat'. If the club really valued him he would still be here, remember that. I hope we will get the full picture at some stage.
Guys, at least he went to cellar dweller North and not to a club that would have us feeling sick in the guts. It hurts to have spent a pick 6 on him and not get a top 10 back, we made mistakes with him and I hope someone falls on their sword over it, a sacrificial lamb will do. But, we move on as supporters, I'm not going to stop being a Collingwood man, we f**ed up, we owned it, we fixed it, so let's bloody well own it and learn from it. I can only hope that this hard line creates a fork in the road from where we finally take the correct path. Time will tell.
Yep. Very well said mate. I personally hate to see any player leave the club. BUT its been done for a reason. He now used to play for us. Time to move on.Monco Matt wrote:I think this deal is called cutting your losses.

The commentator who first floated the idea that "other teams had worked him out" is now saying, after the deal has been done, that Stepho could be a gun. I think the line that "other teams have worked him out" has no basis in reality whatsoever. Stepho has had a shocking year. We also know that glandualr fever is a great sapper of energy levels. We also know that the pandemic has had a massive impact on some players more than others. We also know that our coaches decided that it was more improtant for Stepho to go hard into packs, with his thin, slight frame and get smashed in contests, rather than play forward and kick goals this year.Monco Matt wrote:I think this deal is called cutting your losses.
