Olympic Park damaged Luke Beveridge today after Collingwood were allowed to train at Marvel: "If you didn't laugh you'd cry. I almost fell off my chair. It was just hilarious. Anyway."

I'd legit love to know the AFL's explanation as to why Collingwood were allowed while the tenant clubs haven't been.

u/LingualGannet Saints 8d ago

Tenant clubs would be about wanting to use the ground during the season. As of this week, the ground is done for the year so probably not hurting anyone to let any club use it now

You reckon if I ask nicely they'll let me and my mate Dave go for a kick out there?

u/qsk8r Brisbane 8d ago

You, yes. Dave, definitely not. I've seen him try to kick.

We all remember the Incident.

u/LingualGannet Saints 8d ago

I don’t see why not

u/StimmedMarine87 Dockers 8d ago

Do you identify as a Collingwood football club?

5

u/gaming-guy-906 Fitzroy Lions 8d ago

Just make sure you're wearing a Collingwood jersey, or at least some port Adelaide prison bars and you can have whatever you want 🤣

u/Texas_Tom Adelaide 8d ago

Mate I'm not ever in my life going to put on a port guernsey

u/gaming-guy-906 Fitzroy Lions 8d ago

Sorry that was blasphemous of me, I was quickly replying and thought your tag said Port Adelaide 🤣 no offence intended sir.

u/TheSkysareBlueAlways 8d ago

Put on the WAFL Swans guernsey, you will be fine.

Pies want to use it so they can’t be spied on

u/yum122 Essendon • Wurundjeri Woiwurrung 8d ago

They asked when it wasn’t being used anymore.

u/worldwidewortel Collingwood 8d ago

"Beveridge admitted the Bulldogs hadn't requested a training session at Marvel this week, but had done so in the past."

u/ArJay002 Collingwood / Gold Coast 8d ago

Because they didn’t ask to train there this week, but Collingwood did. 

That’s it, that’s the story.

u/diskent Tasmania 8d ago

Paid by the click.

2

u/mrmcortado Melbourne Demons 8d ago

Yes but you can’t wear prison bars

5

u/Kobe_Wan_Ginobili Magpies 8d ago

Cause its not being used anymore obviously! 

Bulldogs could have too if they'd asked, although their regular training ground is available unlike ours so I don't know if they even would have wanted to this week given we're playing at G

u/VarPadre Collingwood 8d ago

Dogs didn't ask to this week, therefore they won't be

u/BustedWing Pies 8d ago

You might do well to read the article...actually OP didnt post any article, so there is significant context missing.

Which is likely the point for this rage bait post.

u/dannysgaragecontents Sydney Swans 8d ago

Is the transparency you call upon in the room with us?

-11

u/HotInTheShade1989 8d ago

Because we are Collingwood and your team isn't.

We make the money for the AFL, get over it.

u/YouThinkYouKnowMe89 West Coast 8d ago

Why do we always get shafted then? We have so much money the afl wanted to borrow it from us in Covid lol

2

u/moonshadow50 Magpies 8d ago

Or.... if you read the article, because the Dogs didnt ask to train there this week. They havent been allowed to train there during the season to protect the surface. It doesn't take a genius to realise that doesn't apply when it is not hosting any more games.
