Chess and Rudey, I think you two need a lesson in what a real Collingwood hater looks like:

Exhibit one: Jack Dyer - when Richmond were cock of the walk, Jack's contempt for Collingwood knew no bounds, it was made worse when Collingwood snared Richmond's premiership coach, Tom Hafey. Notable achievement - using those little "you want it when" guys - the ones falling about laughing, with the logo "Collingwood for premiers" as his masthead.

Exhibit 2 Jim Main - the Inside Football guy rubbished every Collingwood finals team ever, including this gem from 1981: "The Collingwood team is too small, too slow to win the flag". Notable achievement - personal attack on Joffa after 2003 grand final loss.

Exhibit 3 Mathew Stevic: the legendary umpire umpired grand finals during Hawthorn's golden run, also helpful with Collingwood v Hawthorn games during the past 6 years - wins to Collingwood - one...habit of taking the ball off Cloke when he marked in the goal square.

Exhibit 4 Brian Hansen: The Truth football editor later wrote the Collingwood history, I guess money talks...quote when talking about Barassi v Neil Mann: "It was Attila the Hun versus Mr Magoo." Notable achievement - leaving full forward spot in Truth's team of the year vacant, rather than award it to Magpie champion Phil Carman.

Exhibit 5 Bill Jacobs - ill disguised contempt for Collingwood culminated in Team of the Century blackballing best fullback, Jack Regan and coach Jock Mchale

Exhibit 6 Tom Pryor the Herald Sun journo launched an extraordinary attack on Collingwood on the eve of the 1990 grand final. He said he couldn't watch the 1984 preliminary final without laughing hysterically...he who laughs last...

I hate Carlton / i have been to famous finals games CFC lost and it still burns me .

i am one of the richest people in the world because i have a wonderful wife kids and grandkids.

RE the comment about IQ .

I did not do well at school however in my 70th year i am retired and i worked hard for every penny i made without breaking anyone / ask anyone who knows me.

i started a business it was never a big one BUT i had to make sure that for its size it did OK as I never got a $ from rich parents or the dole .

All i know is that the longer you wait to change the harder it is to change and the longer it MAY take to achieve what you want from it

i am not sarcastic i believe in reality .

I am NOT a Buckley hater i respect him, to me he is a hero and more importantly he played well for the COLLINGWOOD FOOTBALL CLUB and only a select few have like HIM have walked over the white line to play for MY FOOTBALL TEAM .

From 1953 to the day i die my team is COLLINGWOOD

i hate stagnation .
i hate sitting back

MY preference is DO IT and it really hurts me to have been part of the last few years and amongst many concerns / why have a champion player coaching a line he never played in or am i stupid / some of you may think so .

NOT ENOUGH CHANGE IS NOT ENOUGH

Regan is the true fullback left something out:-
Exhibit seven. Caroline Wilson.

Plenty of Nicksters and media people advanced reasons for Buckley's contract not being renewed. But then, almost universally, media people supported the retention of Buckley. This included Caro, Robbo and Gerard Whately. I'm not sure that any of them advanced sound logical reasons for Buckley being retained, after six years of failure. The biggest joke of all was Eddie saying "The easiest thing to do would have been to sack the coach." This was Eddie's spin at its best. Actually, the easiest thing to do was to RETAIN the coach. Sacking the coach would have been much harder with the choice for replacement being picked to pieces.

Although SEM speaks the truth and I agree with him, of course I'll continue to support the club and hope that SEM and I are both wrong.

In view of my writings here why is Mayne getting so much attention in another TOPIC when that event is NOTHING compared to what i am trying to get over to the readers here .

I have never met Mayne but i am sure he tried his best and if he stays he will try ..

BUT his issue is just a minute part of the problem .
We are lucky in Australia that we are allowed to express our vies and yes if some here want MAYNE to be a continuous topic / then i do not understand the entire issue of THE CFC PAST FEW YEARS AND THE NEXT 2.

WHAT ???? is going on at CFC?
