The Age Real Footy Podcast: Collingwood's 'great example of spin'

Published: July 25 2017 - 4:01PM

"The greatest example of spin that I have seen for some time."

That's the verdict from our podcasters on the press conference at Collingwood, announcing Gary Pert's resignation.

This week, Michael Gleeson, Caroline Wilson and Greg Baum take a look at just what is going on at Pieland. Change is on the horizon, but with Eddie McGuire "digging in for a good long while yet", where will that change come from? Nathan Buckley, his assistant coaches and Graeme Allan are all on the agenda. Will the Magpies end up following "the Richmond model"?

Also in the podcast this week: the high-flying Tigers, their "barometer" Trent Cotchin - and their Achilles heel.

Plus, Toby Greene and the slumping Giants, Essendon slide into the eight in unimpressive fashion (but enjoy a visit from a giant Hungarian), Adam Simpson's tenure at West Coast, and the Blues' love affair with GWS players continues.
