Onya Bucks. You have a taken a team that finished 2nd in 2011 to 2nd last in 2017. Great performance Figjam or is it Figjae. Whichever, it's worthy to be inducted into the Collingwood Coaches of the century.
Ed's ego and pride continues to be greater than this once great and proud club.

He might only be 2 weeks away from taking a GF team to rock bottom.
First time we have ended a round in the bottom 2 since we tanked for a priority pick at the end of 2005. (Once season is established so Round 1 anomalies don't count).

| Has there ever been a coach actually coached a team to a lower number of wins every year for 6 years in a row in AFL/VFL history? Buckley is set to achieve this feat this year. This must surely make him the worst coach in AFL/VFL history? |

Problem is our coach is f$&@)!g nocturnal. He won't see the wooden spoon smash him in the face. It might fix his nose up though.

We are in a tricky position at the moment.
On current results Bucks will be ousted at the end of the season.
If we somehow get our shit together and storm home to finish just outside the eight, what happens then.
For those who want to see the back of Bucks, a heap of wins to finish the season could be a disaster. |

A third of the season down and we're second last. Surely, SURELY this farce can't continue. We're already £$%$ed for he next 4 years thanks to Mayne.

Guys I think we are letting the emotion of the loss cloud our judgement. Bucks is the only person to lead us out to the light. Just put your blind faith in him to turn it around. 17th is really the new 6th.
Finals bound in 2017. Just remember anyone who says otherwise is clearly not a Collingwood supporter |

Sooner or Later the bottom line is going to come into play. How much is it costing the clubs bottom line when the team is second bottom and incapable of making the finals once again? Attendance is dwindling week by week. Membership Figures are currently not available, we might be getting in some new accountants to fudge the figures.
It's come to a point where it's not about the Coach it's about the Club. |

No ... not in the last 50 years anyway.
There is noone who has coached at least 80 games and had a worse record every season. |

Should change the slogan side by side to We are the Lemmings!
From popular culture
Lemmings have become the subject of a widely popular conjecture that they commit mass suicide when they migrate by jumping off cliffs.
We know that that is not true but it sums us up.

At least the crowds at the games/aftermatch/AGM's will be fewer and I'll get to the bar quicker ("Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" - Monty Python - Life Of Brian). |
