Not sure what all the fuss is about the dogs, they only exist to make it as far as the Prelim's

Any precedent of a coach resigning at half time?

In all seriousness though, would it be such a bad decision to sack Buckley? I know he talks the talk but so did Terry Wallace. It's a results driven industry and Buckley will get a longer leash than most, but at what point do we draw a line in the sand and say "This is just not good enough"?

If the coach was not Bucks, would he still have the job? Watching this shitful display is embarrasing. Next week will probably be uglier. |

Whether one thinks Bucks can coach or not is irrelevant, everyone is entitled to their opinion on that but to ridicule his playing career and blame him for not winning a flag is embarrassing. Mickey Gaffer has a medal, does this make him a better player than Buckley?
Buckley has won a brownlow, norm smith, 6 copeland trophies, played 260 games & was captain for 8 seasons , show some respect people.

The perennially jealous underachievers in life (of which there are a number on this board) are always jealous of high achievers in life.
It is a constant reminder of their worthless existence.
I don't blame them being miserable and jealous towards Bucks, but they should at least be open about their reasons.
Ultimately, none of those let go by Buckley (with the exception of Beams) has played better football at their new club than what they did in their peak at the Pies.
Wellers is playing better this year, but Wellers netted us Grundy thank you very much.
Dawes netted us Broomhead - I am happy with that.
Shaw got us Adams. That was much needed.
Lamumba got us Varcoe - simply brilliant.
Beams (a sad loss) - but we got De Goey, Crisp and Greenwood. Stupendous trading in a bad situation.
Thomas has been useless at the Blooz - and we parlayed the compo pick to get Scharenberg who will be a star.
Didak, Ball and Jolly were finished.
I am excited that we have managed to largely rebuild our list without bottoming out.
I seem to remember 2004/05 we were bottom feeding and in 2004, all we had to show for our suffering was Chris Egan!
We are on the path to glory brothers and sisters. 2017/18 will be our time. |
An outstanding post, and correct in all respects. Buckley was a majestic player, he is an outstanding communicator, and one of life's high achievers. He does not have a premiership medal around his neck because he left Port Adelaide and Brisbane to join Collingwood. Both of the other two clubs won premierships in his time, despite his own Norm Smith-winning performance for our club, in a losing team. He has bled for this club in many ways, and we owe him every benefit of every doubt. Carringbush Cigar's comments are loathsome and unworthy of a Collingwood supporter.
Buckley has two more years in my view before I will even begin to ask the question. I don't think he wil need it, but life is uncertain, so that's what I'd be prepared to give him. |
Not really loving his communication skills right now, either that, or it's the message

If Buckley survives a 100pt loss to Richmond then.......?? How bad does it need to get? I mean, this is season #4 under Buckley. After season #1 ended badly, a lot of people said we will be awesome in a few more seasons...well we are now here and we look as bad as we ever have. The Shaw years re-visited, not the MM glory years.

Just for once i'd like the media to ask Eddie the hard questions about how he thinks we're travelling under Buckley.Eddie loves to talk about the Swans and Adam Goodes and the A.F.L.but never about his own team.It's time he was put under a bit of pressure about the coaching of this club. |
