^ Which is precisely why people shouldn't be so critical of him wanting to get to a new home. The guy kicked 40 goals last year, so we've recruited in successive off-seaons two guys who have never done that. There's a message and Jack's taken it. That's all.

We just traded the one who’d f up. ;)

Remember the fuss from some when we traded away Treloar, Stephenson and Phillips for next to nothing. Apparently we were a rabble, a laughing stock and a club that no one would ever want to play for again.
Remember only 12 months ago, we moved Grundy on and once again, according to some, we were a joke and an embarrassment of a club to support. We were so bad, we were even paying clubs to take players. Remember, at the same time, we got in all these nobody’s, hacks and overrated hasbeens to top up our list.
What doesn’t need reminding, is 12 months later, we won the flag. Under Wright and Fly this club has already proven it doesn’t make many mistakes. Once we accept and embrace the fact the club knows a hell of a lot more than what the supporters know, then accepting the Ginnivan trade should become more manageable to all. By all means, it’s a supporters right to be pissed off with particular trade outcomes but let’s at least give the trade time to play out before supporters set out to criticise the club yet again. We won our last flag only three weeks ago on the back of some very bold trading decisions. I see no apparent reason to believe all of a sudden, the same people in charge can’t continue to make the right calls during this period either.

Will go down the same path. Lazy footballer, talented yes, but lack of contested possession. Goes missing. Good luck Ginni. I imagine this will be a great decision by the reigning premiers.

AS they say in the classics the plot thickens. Good mate of mine, knows a source close to the Club, who said things did indeed, get "messy" at the Premiership celebration party. It did involve Jack, a video, and a player, and the other players were furious with him,not happy at all. Then there was an incident with Fly, an insult, so that was that for Jack, he went a bridge too far this time. This explains Wrights "hes required contract player" to his 180 degree turn around, TWO days later, and Jack, gonski. It was not just footy related, more game time etc. Seems Jack is an immature clown, who went too far this time. So, upshot is . now hes Mitchells clown, and Mitchell does not have a farthing of the patience Fly had with Jacks indiscretions and shenanigans. Jack may yet find himself doing time with the Box Hill Hawks, unless he really changes his ways. I really liked Jack, sorry to see him leave, but the Club comes first, unity, player unity, for sure. He will always be a Collingwood Premiership player , a rare honour indeed.

I loved Ginni and always stuck up for him with one and all for everything , even his pre GF outing.
I am really peeved that he has chosen to go. I felt like he was taking the easy way out instead of proving he could be so much more and to fight for his place in the team. His team mates that he won a premiership with.

All this talk re a video is very disturbing. Does anyone think there is some truth to this..?? where was it posted?
