Nathan Buckley on SEN now

Live interview

[Pies4shaw]

This was an interesting interview. It ran for 18 minutes or so. After dealing with stupid questions about Macaffer and Cloke, he talked about, amongst other things, Fasolo and made it plain that playing him down back is mostly about development and not so much about the chances of Fasolo playing as a defender in 6 to 12 months.

Worth a listen if SEN puts up a recording.

Was just about to ask - think there will be an on-line link to this later? I'd really like to hear what's on his mind.... cheers.

Thanks for posting the link.

Buckley really is impressive in interviews. Calm, intelligent.

Thanks for the link!

Loved the way he turned around the question on the lack of free kicks for Cotchin. To paraphrase: If Trav was paid the frees Cotchin got (and he did get 5), he'd get 20 a game .

Not so good was the injury news: Seedsman the closest to returning (maybe a week away). Sinclair still 3-4 weeks away (2 weeks from full training). No mention of the others suggests they are at least 3 weeks away as well.

He's an extraordinary media performer, Bucks, amd I have no doubt that his courtesy, subtlety and honesty will ultimately pay dividends in the way that we are portrayed in the media, and the way that that portrayal plays into out treatment by the AfL. And hey, his football side is starting to look as though it understands his game plan and can partly execute it. It's all coming together, perhaps....
