| The fact is he should never have been let go when he was at the top of his game. This is probably the period Buckley should be taking over, or at least in 2014 when we started to bottom out. He inherited a top young list and has pretty much sent it to the dogs. It's not all his fault. Ed and the board have to share the blame as it was their decision to make.

In 2011, or even at the end of 2010, the club should have said to Mick you have an extra year on top of 2011. Once the side showed signs of bottoming out, he would then be replaced by Buckley.
At the same time, Buckley could have gone to another club as an assistant and learnt more and in a different envrionment.
Good management is being agile and having the ability to think on your feet. Once the side won the flag, there should have been a re-adjustment by the club with the succession plan.

Mick was already unravelling in the second half of 2011. Everything that Malthouse has done since has proven that the club was right to move him on.
Good management was seeing the writing on the wall and organising an agreed handover to a very sought-after candidate long before the poop hit the fan.
People mock that arrangement, but it was pretty much the model that Sydney subsequently followed for the handover from Paul Roos to John Longmire. The difference is that Roos is a grown up.
The fact that Mick turned out to be such a deluded and bitter old fool took a lot of us by surprise. Instead of seeing out his days as an elder statesman of the game at the Pies, he torched his own career and reputation as a coach to try and get 'revenge'.
Pathetically, he's till trying.

Mick only unravelled in the 2nd half because he knew his time was almost done. Once he appeared on TFS, the year was done.
I attended the North game prior to TFS appearance. Wet day at the G', it was as good as I've ever seen the club play and it was a wet day.
The side had gears that no other teams had that year. Without the distraction of the succession plan forcing his hand that year, the side would have saluted with his penis in the air.

What's interesting is that in 2005 we finished 2nd last after 5 years of MM's coaching, which was after two years of horrendous injuries. He too, had dropped us from 2nd.. to 13th in one year.. and 15th in two. So we finished 2nd last two years after finishing 2nd.. worse than Bucks! But then we bounced back, even though we didn't change the coach...
