Former Collingwood recruiter Matt Rendell is not at all surprised that list manager Ned Guyâs tenure at the club has come to an end.
The Magpies announced on Thursday that Guy had stepped down following an off-season which resulted in Adam Treloar, Jaidyn Stephenson, Tom Phillips and Atu Bosenavulagi moving to other clubs.
The former player manager took over as Pies list boss at the end of 2017 and will stay on in the role until after the Mid-Season Draft in early June.
Rendell personally believes that Guy did not watch a great deal of footy outside of the AFL.
With a new coach, Magpies could contend again in 2022: Rendell

Former Collingwood recruiter Matt Rendell still believes the Magpies can contend as soon as next year if they commit to a fresh start.
The Magpies sit 17th on the ladder after seven rounds having just lost to Gold Coast on the MCG.
Rendell last week called for the club to move on from coach Nathan Buckley and has doubled down, saying he wouldn’t trade away key players because a fresh start with a new coach is all the list needs to get back into the finals mix.

Readers will recall the stunningly prophetic vision for the Richmond Football Club released in 2010 that has proven to be eerily accurate.
It has galvanised action, bound the club together, and driven success.
The Collingwood Football Club needs something similar. Share
How about a vision of winning two AFL men’s premierships by the end of this decade, being in the top-four consistently from 2025 onwards, and making the finals regularly from 2023?
One positive and one negative from your club s Round 7 performance

It was a big round of footy and there were important storylines out of all nine games.
We have selected one positive and one negative from every club’s Round 7 performance.
See our thoughts below:
Positive: Enough entries
There isn’t much to get excited about after a 67-point loss but at least the Crows got enough ball forward.
They finished with 52 inside 50 entries which in comparison to GWS’ 58 was not a complete write-off.
A scoring efficiency of 46.2% is not ideal and a total score of 4.15.(39) is not what you wish for but Matthew Nicks can be somewhat pleased that they had some looks in attack.

One of football’s biggest mysteries – well, at least as far as I’m concerned – is how Collingwood tangled up their salary cap as they did.
Given Collingwood’s terrible start to the 2021 home-and-away season, we’ve seen some in the media – such as Gerard Whateley and Kane Cornes – now revisit Collingwood’s 2020 trade debacle, almost like they’re only now putting two (the trade debacle) and two (Collingwood’s current list) together to work out the equation (2+2=5) sucks.
