Lifelong Collingwood supporter Geoff McKenzie, today said he can’t believe the Pies aren't listening to his trade and draft ideas.
“For the last few years, I’ve been putting forward a lot of ideas about how Collingwood should be managing their roster,” said the 48 year-old.
“But they’ve done nothing I’ve suggested, it’s like they’re embarrassed they haven’t come up with these ideas themselves.”
McKenzie, an unemployed shift worker, says he sometimes wonders if his posts on Nick's Collingwood Bulletin Board and the BigFooty forums are even being read at Collingwood.
“This season, I even started a Facebook page and have been on Twitter constantly.”
“I even leave long comments on the Herald Sun whenever they have a Collingwood story. So far though, nothing.”
McKenzie says the most frustrating thing, is the players Collingwood are missing out on, because they don’t listen to him.
“Last year, I had a deal that got us Buddy and Joel Selwood and we only had to give away a second round pick and Jesse White.”
“Why wouldn’t you do that?
“It’s obvious that not following my advice is why we’re now in trouble.”
Despite the lack of feedback from Collingwood, McKenzie says he has had ‘several nice messages’ from other Collingwood fans.
"A lot of people liked my trade suggestion to get Patrick Dangerfield to the Pies. It involved nine AFL teams, two WAFL teams and most of the SANFL."
“It also got me blocked by a lot of people on Twitter, but I guess that just comes with the job. You know, tall poppy syndrome and all that.”
McKenzie said next season, he is planning to launch a blog, to give his seven followers a greater level of detail into everything that’s going wrong at Collingwood.
“If you’ve got a gift, it’s a crime not to share it with the world.”
“I just kind of thought Bucks would have called by now.”

I know this guys feels! I've always wondered why the AFC never listen to my idea of trading McKay, Wright and VB for Pendlebury... Three average plodders equals a gun right? RIGHT?! hahaha U0001f609

To be honest this guy is a real trendsetter and deserves our respect. I would never have expected to see 10 different trade ideas for star players featuring Paul Seedsman without someone lighting the torch.
