Exactly!! He is keeping one eye on the membership numbers.
Pure spin but then again, what else can he say? Some Collingwood fans can't handle reality of a developing team.... |
He's the CEO of our club and yet you still can't get your mind around the fact that many believe we should be aiming for and making finals this season with the list available.
What else could he have said you ask?
Well for starters he could have said we were a developing team and making finals would be difficult but the fact he didn't hopefully means he's prepared to make a call on the coach if he can't get this team performing and improving on last seasons display.
For what it's worth Lyon had us finishing 5th last on the footy show last night, Newman 3rd last.
Newman also tipped us to miss the finals last year so the silly old fool shouldn't be discounted.
If either of those two scenarios come to pass then I maintain the coach will be deserving of being shown the door. |
Not sure that is true. We will finish 12th or lower this year and the coach will receive a contract extension. |

Interesting look back. Wonder what Pert thinks now. He has been v quiet.
Also think this proves that the so called 'nay sayers' on this board are actually the realists and have been proven right. Happy to hear an argument to the contrary. |

Of course we expected to play finals, and at 8-3, it should have been a certainty.
We have completely collapsed which has been as embarrassing for us as it has been enjoyable for supporters of 17 other clubs. |

As much as I hate losing, even by a point, we have just been pipped enough times this year to be in the mid eight.
Blooding youngsters, cutting dead wood, trading for strength. 2015 hasnt panned out, but boy its been close.
I remain strongly committed to Buckleys vision. _________________ ___________________

Bingo!
I think that fills my 'sack every single person at Collingwood' card.
What do I win, a spat dummy and packet of tissues? |
