I am only going to post once on what is going on at Collingwood at the moment.
Nathan Buckley is our coach and Eddie McGuire is our President.
They have my FULL support. Eddie is an emotional being. He loves our club like all of us do that is why he speaks like all of us do. I’d prefer a President with passion and love over any of these dime-a-dozen suits that float in and out of clubs like seagulls at the MCG at three quarter time.
I love and respect Mick Malthouse for all he did for our club but now, he is an outsider. It can be hard to deal with but that is real life. It happens and it has happened to us. I wish he never got pulled into the gutter work that he is doing at the moment, but he made that decision and he walked. That is what people forget – HE WALKED. We have been through this with Tony Shaw and his try-hard media persona in order to come across as neutral so he doesn’t get blasted for having Collingwood bias. This is nothing new.
The media thrive on this. I have deliberately not been reading articles and getting all riled up about the rubbish that spews out of many ‘commentators’ and ‘journalists’ mouths. 99% of what they say is made up rubbish. They are vermin. The only people breathing a sigh of relief about this is the AFL. This is because the heat is temporarily off them for the true destruction of our game that is getting played week in and week out by the embarrassment that is Greater Western Sydney. What people outside Collingwood don’t realize is that it has ALWAYS been US against THEM. This is nothing new and it is getting somewhat tiresome that every year the same people start the same vitriolic rubbish and the same people fall for it. They are trying to sell papers and get ratings. They do it in the most greasy way possible. It is extremely off putting.
Whether we are last or first, premiers or runners up – there is NOTHING that compares to barracking for Collingwood. Others think they understand, but they don’t and pretending they do is just laughable. You can try to get it, but you never will.
Nathan Buckley always has been and always will be a champion. He is an amazing person. If the pathetic Melbourne media had 1% of the integrity that Nathan Buckley has, Melbourne would certainly be a very different place.
As for Wayne Carey’s comments… you’ve got to be joking?
Floreat Pica!
