2016 A Magpies Season Disgrace?

[Hiss]

Surely after another pathetic effort today, Collingwood is facing the real prospects of being another boring uninspiring failure like Richmond. A season wasted! It would be a fair comment to suggest we are a bloody disgrace. Season 2016 is rapidly looking like a shocking failure;a regression of form not unlike the tragic situation at Fremantle and Richmond.

Now despite the arrogance of the pin striped overpaid politically trendy executives of some modern footy Clubs and AFL, the fans should matter a whole lot more than the way we are being treated by our Clubs. We quiet frankly deserve better. We have shown unqualified loyalty and commitment, paying for expensive memberships and merchandise to support our Club, yet are served up the crap Collingwood has dished out against Melbourne and West Coast. I wonder who are the real mugs in this modern game? The loyal fans being charged big dollars to support our clubs, or the Club Boards and their Football departments? Players are clearly all underpaid like the impoverished coaches living in multi million dollar homes! Haha

Enough is enough at Collingwood. We fans deserve a very clear explanation from our Board to why our Club is failing so badly. My membership is an investment in entertainment like other discretionary spending. I am not a half wit on Centrelink without a measurable IQ that will blindly support this farce much longer. The insults are just too great.

I am proud of the Richmond fans who got up and walked out on that Club insulting effort this weekend. I just hope Pies fans do the same as a protest to our Board and President that we are very mad and will not keep accepting the disgusting insult. Not even a bloody explanation! Dear Collingwood haha! As fans we need to show that we still do have some power and will withdraw our support if you push us too far. Not much point relying on staggered Board elections to force change at Collingwood. We aren't all stupid. We know how things are structured to prevent effective challenges.

Hiss hard to respond unless we know what game you were watching. Pretty good effort against massive odds - play with that intensity, get a tiny bit of luck ie no more injuries Cloke back firing and we may still be in it for a shot at the finals. Plenty of room for you though on the Richmnd bandwagon though - feel free to get on board - I hear they have good deals going - you'd fit right in me old son.

How can our board give us an explanation?

They have been selected, not elected, the same way as our assistant coaches.
The only qualifications required are to be able to understand that if you rock the boat we will throw you out.

All the board could say is we have no idea, ask Eddie.

Hiss we need you to lead us in a sit-in at the social club, wherever the hell that is, until our demands are met:

* New Coach
* Proper Social Club
* Elections

Neither club plat nor Eddie - although I went to same High School. At Coll v Fitzroy 1980 somethingish elimation final we were 2 11 points down with a minute to go I was 11 years old and was in teras and wanted to leave. My father said you always stay to the end. He was right. I learned a good lesson. Ive never left early since then - prelimanry final in 84 was pretty tough - there are other examples. I reckon you stay the course. Now this is different to a sensible debate on the direction of the club. I get that but I apologise for playing the man Hiss but I get emotional sometimes as well. In my heart of hearts I didnt think we were going to win (although I still tipped us) but in the second and 3rd quaters we had last years grand finalists, who were on the rebound and well on top at their home ground, on the ropes. With 7 players with less than 25 games, with 2 of our starting midfield injured and the third in that midfield clearly injured, our most experienced and expensive forward horribly out of form and yet we played a good, strong style of football in those 2 quarters - I know its not good enough, and the statements above are not excuses but they are facts. There is the basis of something good there. Two commitments form me (Ill hold myself to it - beacuse I really enjoy the interaction on this forum - and dont want to do the "Im out of here stuff"): 1 I wont play the man again - no matter how emotional I get; 2 Im not giving up on this year. Have a good week all.
