The I ❤️ Collingwood thread.

They also won squat between 1936 and 1953.
So I think the best comparison is 3 in 4 years to 4 in 84.

What’s the better way to compare our Flags with theirs i.e. to mention that
- We’ve won 2 in 2 years - they’ve won 2 in 62 years - OR
- We’ve won 3 in 4 years - they’ve won 3 in 67 years

You forget to mention without 2 draws in the finals they wouldve won one since 1963

You forgot to mention there capability to capitulate in Grand Finals.

Or: we’ve won 8 in 67 years to their 3

Spot on... and some further statistics:

Pies - 4 since 1936 (84 years), 3 since 1953 (67 years) and 2 since 1958 (62 years)
compared to
RFC - 4 since 1974 (44 years), 3 since 1980 (40 years) and 2 since 2017 (2 years)

Hang on there's more:

Pies - 10 Premierships in 100 years
RFC - 13 Premierships in 100 years

 

[Baloo]

2 in 2 years vs 2 in 64 sounds fine. Save 3 and 4 for the coming years

 

[DavidSSS]

All I know is my team have won 8 in my lifetime, Collingwood have won 2.

In my daughter's lifetime Richmond have won 3, Collingwood 1.

Now, if it wasn't for those bloody Hawthorn supporters I'd be pretty close to the top of the tree.

Sam Edmund is running with the following...

Last week Nathan Buckley had a phone conversation with Adam Treloar. He told him that the senior core of the group didn't want him around anymore. I would find it staggering (if the players wanted him out), he is very popular in that group"

I would find it staggering that either Buckley or Treloar would disclose that conversation if it happened.

Find this hard to believe.. Private conversation made public? Treloar not liked by his teamates?

[Ripplestick]

Someone get me some popcorn...this is more of what Sam Edmund said...

"What we can say as absolute fact is Nathan Buckley had a phone conversation with Adam Treloar last week where he told him that Collingwood’s more senior players didn’t want him around the club anymore.

“We were wondering how Collingwood would seek to pour more pressure on forcing Adam Treloar out — now we have our answer.

“Now they’re telling him his teammates want him out, which I find staggering as he’s a very popular player at that football club.”

Edmunds also suggested Treloar was still telling the club he intended to stay put.

 

[Ripplestick]

Figgy has just hit back, no mention of Trelol being contracted and a required player. What a dog of a club, I feel dirty even posting in this thread.

“Absolute fact”...news to me Sam. The constant rumour and innuendo is disrespectful to Adam, the club and our supporters. We’ll continue to communicate directly and sensitively with Adz and his management. FYI, our leaders don’t sit on list management, it’s not their job.

 

[Baloo]

Hope he stays. 5 years at 900k plus, he's laughing

I find it staggering that Buckley is still an AFL coach

Adz, its more like Burntz

This is a genuinely bad situation for the Pies.

Someone in the Treloar camp is leaking and it doesn’t look good for the club at all.

Not just an optics issue, although trying to bail on a heavily back-ended contract never looks good.

No, this exposes Collingwood as

1) incredibly poor list managers who have strait jacketed themselves out of improving their list in the same manner Geelong and Brisbane will. Grundy already looks jaded with a long term deal that already crippled Buddy and never works. De Goey is a cultural and marketing problem, a Martin-lite bruiser without the sublime record or team first ethos. Sidebottom and Pendlebury will be paid overs for what older, 30+ bodies can produce. Treloar is the flash point, such a botched situation that prospective free agents would be backing away slowly as we speak.

2) having a fake culture of empathy. Nathan Buckley is utterly ruthless in his pursuit of success. The alarm bells rang loud and clear when Geelong bent them over in the SF. He saw them slipping away on the premiership clock and most likely demanded room in the salary cap for an agile trade / contract negotiation period. A horrible, morale-sapping last match and now a cruel, callous trade period. The gloves are off and Collingwood’s leadership, lead by Macguire and Buckley, have exposed themselves as the desperate charlatans they are.

How this plays out in season 2021 will be compulsive viewing. With so many clubs doing the right things, Collingwood FC are teetering on the brink.
