Collingwood website has 8 board members listed but who knows.


On Lee's Age story there is a link to the Real Footy podcast where they discuss the upcoming board battles at Collingwood for those interested. Starts at 28:30.

Matt Rendell says Collingwood had too many staff overpaid in the footy dept and at one stage they had a ballerina on the books assisting players overcome soft tissue injuries. ....
I ain't touching that last comment!:rolleyes:

Didn't Michael Gale do ballet classes to deal with his chronic hamstring injuries? From memory it seemed to work.

Genuine board grumbles coming, very 1980’s. Feels like internal wars will plague the place for a while.

Overpaid players, wrong players leaving, coach under threat, salary cap issues, board issues all at once.

If they were a stock you’d sell now, about to plummet.

A ballerina? Probably for the prima donnas

It is the apparently lack of response from Quaynor during the incident.
Quaynor was obviously focused on Figgy n didn't notice Gooey's minor intrusion. The one that surprised me was Peetracca's effort when Hunt? probed him. Was only a week or two after Flossy n Shorty got publicly hammered for tweaking Cholly.

Pretty low of Rendell really.

I mean, I have heard Buckley called a lot of things...

Buckley has done the unthinkable, he will leave Collingwood worse off since the Tony Shaw days.
They will finish alongside hawthorn but at least hawthorn won a few flags before falling down the ladder. What's Collingwoods excus?
