Bucks has one more season to ply his wares, but thats it, we really must make the finals next season, no iffs or butts. One more season, thats it, im not sure if he can be entirely blamed for today, our players miss far too many easy shots at goal, when the game is there to be won. Yep, one more seaason Bucks, and we need to recruit hard and practice endlessly goal kicking skills, thats our real problem right now, front and centre.

I have been in the Bucks camp. I'm not changing after today. But that was our worst loss since he has been our coach. It was simply ugly, dysfunctional and unacceptable. Someone should of by now fixed the problem that is causing us to not be prepared to move the ball quickly like all other 17 teams. We cannot month after month keep playing this game style. It hasn't worked since June. It is the coach's responsibility to fix this much quicker. We had the bulk of all our talent out there today. I am very angry we have wasted a whole half of a season without injury as an excuse. Our Club has two weeks to do something about this horrible effort.

We did get flogged by Cats in the last round of 2011.

I well recall, in `1990 towards the end of the season, we got absolutely flogged by the Hawks by around 96 points out at waverley, it was as bad as today. Things can turn around quickly in footy, look at the doggies this season, not worth two bob last year. I just think we are a promising young team that hit the wall today, a long season, against a finals hungry team after a home final. These things happen to young teams, look at the saints, today was so far, our only real belting of the whole year too date. I just wish to god we would not miss so many soda goals, its killling us, and destroys a young teams confidence. We have some learning to do over the off season, and we must do endless goal kicking practice, for one. !

There are not many advantages to being 9 hours time zone away, but today was one of them. that must have been brutal to watch.

In truth, it's been a long season and this was a dead rubber. Yesterday at the Oval England upheld the tradition that a side which has already sealed the Ashes gets flogged in the last test. It's a game of the mind as well as the body, and when one team has a lot to play for, and the other team nothing to play for, you get results like this.

I have seen enough this year to believe that we are a young, improving side capable of pushing the best teams in the competition, and i expect we will get better next year. Unless we have a disaster next year, I think Buckley should have two years from the end of 2015 to show whether the rebuild has worked, or can work, under his management. Great clubs think long-term and do not overreact. As many have pointed out, Thompson teetered at Geelong just before glory came to them, and i recall us destroyng them by about 100 points in 2006. Only time will tell.

If the coach goes then the Pres must go with him. I remember when Eddie used to strive for the best of everything - coaches, staff, facilities, sponsors etc.

Now we are nothing but a $�$%^%%$ rabble. It's time for a clean out
