Collingwood Press Conference
Wednesday 9 January

The Collingwood Football Club will hold a press conference today at 2.00pm at the Lexus Centre.


President Eddie McGuire will be in attendance to discuss the clubs decision to resign from our community partnership with the Transport Accident Commission after rookie player Sharrod Wellingham was charged with drink driving over the weekend.

Oops.

[saint66au]

Oh how I love that they are making it seem that COLLINGWOOD are doing the right thing and "resigning" from their sponsorship LOL

Talk about jump before they were pushed..the Pies were well and truly on their last chance with TAC

[riccardo]

Eddie just "boned" the TAC!

[Eastern]

Eddie just "boned" the TAC!

More correctly; Eddie boned himself/filth on behalf of TAC !!

[SENsei]

I'll drink a Crownie to that!

[Ghost Like]

Handled very well and very professionally by Collingwood, especially after the corner they had boxed themselves into after the Morrison episode.

Eddie would be fuming behind the scenes.

[saintm]

Lance Franklin and Simon Taylor from Hawthorn in the car at the time.

Message just doesn't get through, does it??

[SENsei]

Strike me lucky! Lance was there? It wasn't 3 am was it?

[saintbrat]

maybe Lance was there to help them spend his $1.4mill

[|Andy|]

pies lost their half a million dollar sponsorship with TAC. was on TEN, whilst watching the part on saints... i must say, eddie was talking about how this would jeopardise some jobs, which i feel quite sorry about. but then he talked about how they had to reorgansie their budget, and i just laughed at him...the less money the actual club gets, the happier everyone is.

Collingwood pleaded with TAC to allow them to do it Eddie's way. The bottom line is that TAC had already decided that they would discontinue their relationship with Collingwood well before Eddie put his spin on the announcement !!

Yep one would think that most would see through that spin doctoring for what it's worth...

TAC should have given Collingwood the flick ages ago IMO...

You just can't have one rule for Richmond and another for Collingwood

[esaint66]

hahah might have to get carefree tampons as there new sponser to help them through this tough period

[Eastern]

Strike me lucky! Lance was there? It wasn't 3 am was it?

Of course Lance was there. It was HIS car !!

[saintpaul74]

Interesting how it required 3 people to park the car to avoid a parking fine.

So an intoxicated male knew he was in a timed parking spot at 3am and it needed 3 people to help move it to another spot.



Sounds like Holland? with the whole I was sitting in the car and it wasn't moving story a few years back

[my les foote]

Of course it took three people to move the car. It's no fun singing Bohemian Rhapsody on your own.

lucky the Police didn't do a search of the car, you never know what kind of goodies they might have found....

If The Police searched his car, it would have been a Sting operation.

[B W and R all over]

Here's a left-field theory for you:

Collingwood wanted to get out of what is a restricting sponsorship. I’ve heard a few people out of Richmond privately say they were happy their TAC sponsorship ended because of the scrutiny the company would put on them for driving indiscretions.

They reckon the TAC was too overbearing.

McGuire would have dozens of huge companies who would happily jump into TAC’s place and may even pay more $$$.

I’m thinking they were just looking for a way out of the sponsorship and seized this chance.

If I were a Collingwood supporter (and I shudder just typing those words), I wouldn’t be so much concerned that we’d just lost a sponsor as I would that one of our young players is hanging out with Lance Franklin.

[GrumpyOne]

If I were a Collingwood supporter (and I shudder just typing those words), .....

Don't worry, we knew you weren't a Collingwood supporter when you could spell "theory".

[Banger2Plugger]

It took you that long???
I knew as soon as he logged on - it meant he was at a computer logging in instead of out on the streets stealing car tyres!

[Saints94]

All I can say is this poor Eddie

[Megamaguire]

It could help the Saints begin to bridge the multi-million dollar gap that the likes of West Coast and Collingwood have at their disposal to plough into player development.

Still glad that our Saints are avoiding the punishing glare of misdeamenours that the press adore.

G O S A I N T S !

[evertonfc]

Handled superbly and uber-professionally by Eddie.

The tall poppy cutters should be turning the shears on themselves.
