Do you have any better suggestions, hmm ? Confused


I have no ideas any more. This club disappoints me 9 years out 10 (the premiership odds are actually worse than that - 2 in 60 years).

If I wasn't rusted on I'd give up. We are worse then hopeless as a club. We are teasers. Always promising much but delivering very little. That's got to be the definition of mediocrity.


Yes, we really should have won last yrs GF, it was all set up for us, and we still cocked it up, had we won that one, we would not be having this conversation at all. Like only TWO teams have kicked first 5 goals in a GF, twice in history, then gone onto lose the GF, BOTH were bloody Collingwood, 1970 and 2018, only we could do that, if we can find a way to cock itup, we will find a way. We need a overhaul from top to bottom, a big rethink of strategy. tactics,Like look at Richmond, 4 yrs ago a basket case, Dimmer was spat at, fans spewing, Board rumbles, and they changed it all around, its not rocket science but we have to make hard and tough decisions, at all levels, starting with the dismissal of our entire fitness level staff, sack em all, and that's just for starters. A change needs to be made, the whole club, no doubt of that. Exclamation

Ummmm......basket case? A Grand Finalist last year and a Preliminary Finalist this year, doesn't suggest we are a basket case, something you seem to be alluding to, in your Richmond analogy. Given we lost both games by a kick, it tells me that we are very close to winning a flag. Maybe we'll win it next year, maybe we won't, but ffs, we need to acknowledge what we've achieved these past couple of years, and look to build on it and improve, so we can win the ultimate prize, which clearly is within our reach. Let's not have hysterics over us not winning the flag. I like your passion pnc, but seriously, your commentary is rather weird, given our recent performances.

if you had read my post more carefully, I meant that Richmond was a basket case few years ago, not us, I meant them, not us . They were a rabble, going to sack Dimmer and the Board, now look as them, 2 flags in 3 yrs, we have 2 flags in 60 years and its not a good record that

Correct that Eddie doesnt get kicks or hanballs or whatever but he has the biggest say of the direction on this club. BIG SAY if not HUGE SAY.

He has done a lot for this club and we all agree but what we all starve is Premierships and his leadership over the last 20yrs has fallen way short. Financials tick, New ground tick, Premierships a fail. We are not even the biggest club in town any more either so no point mentioning that.

Look at our culture last few years or so, De Goey x 2, Stephenson, Murray, Keefe, Thomas, Sier - any other club that has been this bad last few years or so? This is Eddie and Bucks culture and let's hope we don't hear anything late 2019 or 2020? These are all FACTS and let's not forget the Ed himself. All unnessary attention!!!

Ed is great at marketing the club via radio or TV and pumping up the Supporters Side by Side but it's wearing thin and it has big time.

Won't be long before, Saints, Bombers, Blues, etc will start hitting their straps and just making it that little bit harder as Tigers ain't going anywhere either in the next 2-3 years.

As i've said previously, only 2 non-collingwood players as coaches have delivered a premiership to Collingwood last 60 years.

No doubt about the club but it ain't ruthless enough and it starts with Eddie and only Eddie so if it ain't Eddie, who is it?

Beamer09, spot on.

He has to step aside. We need new blood.

Close enough is not good enough.

We have to become ruthless.

AS LONG AS BUCKLEY IS COSCH WE WILL NEVER WIN A PREMIERSHIP.

Too much pressure on him.

Yet it was only 3 yrs ago the Tigers wanted to sack Hardwick and the Board thngs can change quickly. Confused

Eddie doesn’t need to go.

Harvey needs to go, as does the fitness guy.
Replace Harvey with a reputable assistant (Tudor comes to mind)
Replace White with anyone from the nearest gym. Couldn’t be any worse.

That non free to Maynard was shocking tho, very late in game, who knows how it would have gone, had he been paid, as every commentator said he should have been.?? It is what it is,we have NO luck in GFs ever, never have, really, fact. Rolling Eyes

Kim Jong Ed is a dictator driven by ego and self-obsession and should've gone years ago. Sure he's done some great things for the club but has also brought us controversy and a lot of unwanted attention via his own stupidity and big mouth. He represents a bygone era - a bit like the footy show in a way. I would love to have seen the results from the so-called "review" we had in 2017. I doubt they were favourable to him. He's shut his mouth a bit since then and made a few changes here and there to appease the board but we shouldn't need things to come to that in order to promote change. I reckon we'll be stuck with him for years to come unless someone out there has the cahoonas to take him on.

Perhaps you can raise this at the next AGM! Probs wouldn't reference Kim Jong Ed though - you might not get your point across before eviction LOL
