I'd like to know, why is it then that when Freeman injured his hamstring against Geelong in a practice match, Rodney Eade said that Freeman "pinged his hamstring" and the club reported that Freeman would miss 3-4 weeks? |
Rocket made his comments before scans had been done and offered what would be the likely recuperation for a standard hammy tear. It's only some supporters who've taken it on board and can't move beyond. |

When will he blame himself?
Another fail in 2015 and he'll find himself sounding out C7 for a comments gig, no ifs, no buts, get it right or **** off! |
So you keep saying. Hope you made exactly that point at last nights meeting. |

I was never going to be involved in a publicity stunt, by the sounds of things the sheep were well and truly rounded up, and swallowed what the were given to swallow.
Last night shows how desperate Eddie has become, he knows he made the mother of all **** ups with his unsuccession plan and he's frantically trying to defend the undefendable.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the club putting its position.
Should happen more often.
It is people like you saying by not attending
"perceptive fellow" like me are traitors, gutless, dickheads , etc....
As I just said, last night was about the club justifying its position
not a genuine attempt at listening to the collingwood admin critics. |
i am accusing you of being a dickhead for bagging our players and bleating on incessantly about the same thing. much like spindog, defender and others of that ilk. it is just $$%^%%$ boring. |
Ever tried anger management

In MacDonald's parlance they call meetings like that a "Bull Session." A session of controlled 'information exchange' designed to get employees (supporters) excited about the company line.
That said, as far as fans are concerned, any information is good information, even if much of it seemed to be spin.

Did anyone ask about why we bemoan our skill errors yet we keep playing too many players who can't kick?

Bucks defended Tylor Adams and the younger players (like Frost, Langdon, etc.). Says they are generally good kicks at training, it's just hard to do when a) you're in front of 70K for the first time in your life (up from 5 people that Adams played in front of, Bucks's word), and b) tired legs ... whicch = poor execution and decision making.
Skills was brought up A LOT.
The crowd laughed, and Bucks chimed in with "It would be funny if it wasn;t so serious."
So he gets it.
Broomhead, Scharenberg, Kennedy, Langdon ... can kick. We are clearly drafting players now who can hit a target. The likes of Blair, Lamumba, Brown, Goldsack, Toovey ... not much we can do there.

i thought some of the content on the injuries was good. for a good part of it i felt there was a lot said without much being said. though, there was quite a bit which validated my own thinking and beliefs.
it certainly served its purpose and achieved its aim for the majority of attendees. the club made them feel listened to.

Asked for a show of hands: who would be willing to give up their reserved seat on bottom level of Ponnie so that a Supporters Collective could sit there making a sea of black and white rather than the current set up? Majority agreed. I think we can expect change.

A group of 8 of my family members have taken up residence in M35 since the opening of the Ponny. We chose this area during the initial open day despite it being exposed to the elements as it is where the action is between the point post and the race. We move there from N10.
My immediate family of 4 very rarely miss a home or away game at the MCG. We sit there in the rain, hail or sunshine. We all wear Black and White and if anything I am too vocal.
There are people around us who also never miss a game and I even see them amongst the crowd in the interstate games. Many have become friends over the years and there is always plenty of talk amongst the various family and groups in the immediate vicinity.
So the club is thinking of moving us on for a supposed more active general admission crowd. Good luck with that.
Yes, the Ponny has been a bit dead of late. There are a number of contributing factors. One way of fixing it is to not disenfranchise your loyalist and most active supporters/members. |
You'd hope that they'd monitor scanned entry patterns and determine who have been active attendees before shifting the diehards. |
This MUST be the case. Only move the people that don't attend a certain % of games.
