I wish Eddie would shutup about all this for a while and get on with the task at hand, "Becoming the greatest football club in the world", NOT becoming the club of whingers and whiners. YES that is how it is starting to look.
IF the banner had the channel 9 logo on it, then that is a bluddy disgrace.
We must keep advertising off the banner at all costs. As for political snips, it just ain't worth the effort. |

| I agree Bones, there are many ways we can get political mileage out of slagging Brisbane and the AFL rather than using a banner for it. I was dissapointed we had gone to that level whether it was a joke or not. Having said that, I would be more than happy for the AFL to pump heaps of money into Sydney and Brisbane as far as school clinics, promotional exercises, special events, advertising and any other promotion that will generate long term sustainable interest !!! Artificially builiding up clubs with extra money for short term gain, I.E. Increased salary caps, will not generate or sustain a club for the long term. Grass roots campaigning with ordinary people at schools, clinics and auskick events etc will. When Brisbane finally burst their success bubble this year or next, what will be the result? What will the AFL measure their success against? Membership, T.V. ratings, gate receipts or how many local clubs and schools are promoting AFL? I bet you the AFL will say Membership and TV ratings. It is so important the AFL competition develops ordinary people into playing and supporting the game first, then, and only then, helping clubs if they need it. The suprise will be if you got kids playing footy in Brisbane and Sydney, they wouldn't continually need help in years to come, because there membership and supporter base would be strong. Unfortunately, as Joffa says and I agree, ordinary people are coming last with the AFL, certainly in Melbourne, and I suspect in Brisbane and Sydney. Until the game is bought back to the people, then unfortunately, the people will slowly desert the game. |

What the hell was on the banner that could label collingwood whingers and whiners..brisbane has won the last 2 flags with an added half a million to there salary cap to keep players on there list..where is our compensation for nick davis wanting and going back home to sydney.
Why shouldnt we speaK OUT over this great injustice its bloody hideous, so if it becomes political what do you suggest we do run away and stick our heads in the sand..
And for those complaining about the nine logo on the banner has it esaped your attention that this was ( thanks to collingwood ) the first ever live game on television broadcast from the gabba it just happened to be on channel nine it could of been very easily channel 10 i guess but the pre season programming had the game to be on channel 9.
Collingwood sold out the gabba NOT brisbane, brisbane get an extra 500.000- 600.000 grand NOT collingwood.
And the myth all cheersquads are for kids is crap whilst our great cheersquad encourages kids to get involved the great percentage of cheer squad persons are young adults upwards and that goes with all other clubs.
Eddie loves our cheersquad and promotes it greatly and wonderfuly, our cheersquad and dont forget your cheersquad as well is the loudest most passionate cheersquad in the business and to be forced to pull the banner apart on game day because some one got offended because some one had the guts to say it as it is..is BULLSHIT and its a disturbing sign, it smacks of the old iraq regime.

as for the banner - ed obviously thought about how it would all play out before going ahead with it but, as much as i agree with his views on the salary cap, the banner is not the place to make a statement. not sure how the cheer squad feel about it but i feel they are being used as pawns in eddie's agenda. by all means get stuck into the bears, swans and the afl itself but when the guys run out on the ground, its the footy that concerns me. |
The cheersquad loved the banner and i dont believe there is one cheersquad person who believes we are being treated like prawns, the banner was friendly banter and fun but im afraid it didnt go down to well with the baath party oops sorry i meant the AFL apparantly its offensive to have some fun at the footy...its a shame isnt it.

The banner is for the kids of the cheer squad.
As a ex member of the cheer squad with several
years of run thru making with my brother and
two very good friends all life members of the cheer
squad, I find it a bit to much that the prez is know
writing and puting things on ths run thru to make a point.
Lets not get away from what the banner is for. |

The Good Doctor is right, just like Melbourne Storm winning the NRL Grand Final, once again that word will appear, if its not the white maggots on the ground, its the tight arsed suits off it, or the clowns at the tribunal circus, we as Magpies want.........
CONSISTENCY!!!  |

Enjoy the status of your life membership of the cheersquad 'that boys club mentality' im glad to say was abolished 3 years ago, i allways chuckle when i hear about so called life members who do jack squat in helping the present day cheersquad,( where were the bloody high and mighty cheersquad life members 12 months ago ) the so called life members of the cheersquad are nowhere to be found when things are going well but as soon as the road gets rocky they appear like a rash
if i ever read another crap post anywhere on here about life members of the cheersquad i will vomit !!!
GO AWAY.

y not thank him for his contribution instead of going off?

| As long as Eddie doesn't make a trend of it I don't see any problem with him having input into the banner. I don't think what he wrote was particularly damaging anyway. I'm not really sure what a banners there for, but in my mind it's a bit of fun, and what's written is usually just to stir up pride in your team and so on. I think the banner did that and added to the rivalry between the teams, so why not. Hypersensitivity only serves to give issues more spotlight than they deserve. This is a non issue. |

No not harsh at all infact i did restrain myself, this current cheersquad will be the greatest cheersquad in collingwood's history, why doesnt his so called cheersquad life members get on here and say how good things are looking and how great it all sounds, with the exception of dillo no ex cheersquad person or life member of the cheersquad has offered any expertise in the great experience they have obtained, instead they hide behind this crap of being a cheersquad life member what the hell is a cheersquad life member ?
Are they at banner making in the middle of winter when its freezing bloody cold 10.30 in the evening
Do they pop down into cheersquad on match days to offer any assistance
When we were having some trouble with the cheersquad last year a call was put out for old cheersquad people and cheersquad life members to come down and help out..we got jack shit response.
Infact there is no such thing as a cheersquad life member if you dont pay yearly to be a cheersquad memebr you aint a memebr of the cheersquad.
I tell you when you might see some cheersquad life members they come down to banner making the week prior to blockbusters or during the finals series in hope of scabbing free tickets.
Sad isnt it !!
Anyway back to the topic after ringing many cheersquad members over the last few days everyone is supportive of the role eddie involves himself in with the cheersquad.
And equally important we all absolutely disgusted with the treatment from the AFL over the banner...The bloody problem doesnt lay with eddie or the cheersquad it lays solely at the feet of the stinking AFL.
