The I ❤️ Collingwood thread.

Can see Hocking letting them off with a warning but by gee, the next player that does it will be heavily punished

He's obviously waiting for Sid Stack to stuff-up again.

Dumbarse club needs a fine as well.

"Ok boys - Hand over your phones. Don't worry Jord's those racy photos of you with the goat will not be accessible as they'll be in this locked gun case in the coaches room with the key hanging on a nail above it."

Good one Ghost. Poor De Duddy didn't know the rules. As you said, nothing but a dumb club with a dumb coach.

How's Treloar going again....

How's Treloar going again....

And of course Pies have a vested interest in Treloar’s form given that they’re paying $300k per season for the privilege

Just gets better and better...

He's on their payroll, does that make him eligible for the Pies Best & Fairest?

The icing on the cake is McChins, he put his foot in his mouth again by trying to defend the Pies list management

At least Figgy still has a chance to surpass Roosy. Gets a flag somehow within the next 130 games n he'll leave Roosy in the dust.

Roos so overrated. Alot of games for the solitary flag!

Lucky to get it. AFL looked after them.
Barry Hall shouldn't have played.

The property steward should be in strife for giving them their phones, surely the phones are properly secured.

Yeah, let’s blame some guy on $150 a game for not reminding professional footballers on $500 and $800k per year who have been told repeatedly to not use their phones in game.

Spot on. You don't even have to be in the system to know that this is wrong. Given the Pies long history with gambling on the sport, I hope the AFL punishes them heavily.

A fair point.

I have never been on twitter, facebook and Instagram, it just goes to show how addicted players (and a lot of people in general) are to their phones and social media.

Wasn't it Howe who was celebrated for being a leader and convincing Jaidyn Stephenson to admit his betting on games?

 

[jb03]

Do you mean that that "tigerman" I follow on Twitter is not you?

While I can understand players wanting to let their loved ones know they are o.k. as soon as possible after an injury incident. There are strict rules n procedures in place regarding the use of mobiles, there's a bunch of club officials could have made the necessary calls from a permitted phone instead of allowing the numb nut players access to their own phones. AFL honchos need to provide Colonwood with a short sharp kick to the proverbials for allowing players access to their own phones during the game, the rest of us can just enjoy the Lol's from Colonwood stuffing up again.
