Yesterday? Your driveway? 12.23pm?
Yeah Emma! I saw Sav there. I was driving past with Anna Kournikova she's staying at my place for the Olympics I've set up a mattress for her on the floor next to my bed.
Anyway Anna K says (in Russian accent) "Isn't that that footballer that play for your rugby team?"
To which I replied "That's football babe! Light me a cigga and grab me a can will ya!"
Romance lives!

I've also been accused (unfairly, I might add) of rubbishing Buckley on this BB, so I think I'd better take this opportunity to tell you all a little story.
I was on a train on my way to the footy one day. There was this kid in a wheelchair in a Collingwood jumper. I overheard a conversation between the kid's father and another bloke on the train. The kid knew Buckley quite well because Buckley is, apparently, in the habit of spending quite a bit of time with disabled kids.
There's a few sporting champions around who do that sort of thing. And they don't usually make a song and dance about it. Andrew Jarman was another one who comes to mind.
I'm inclined to slag off footballers from time to time for being ego-maniacs, which I'm sure most of them are. But when you hear about players who are prepared to use their fame to help bring some joy to the lives of people like that kid in the wheelchair it kinda gives even a cynical old bastard like me a touch of goose-bumps.
Don't be too hard on Buckley if he seems a bit stand-offish. So many people want a piece of him and there's only so much to go around. I met Buckley at the launch of Richard Osborne's book a couple of years ago and he was quite polite to me. But there were dozens of other people around who wanted to talk to him as well and I found myself thinking that he really must get pissed off with all the attention he gets.
Seriously, when you're that famous it would be an absolute pain in the arse not being able to go anywhere in public without having people wanting to talk to you. And Buckley would cop that a lot more than 99% of other players.
So, go easy on him. I'm sure he's a very decent bloke. Just give him a bit of space.

At long long last i have to disagree with you on what you have just said,
Bucks is on anything between four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand dollars per year plus all the other freebies and perks he picks up along the way.
Good luck to him and thats from a guy who would be lucky to see
twenty thosand dollars per year!!!
But as captain he is an ambassador for the collingwood football club its as simple as that.
He wants to remember we the poor scum are paying big money each year to watch OUR beloved collingwood as we were before his
arrival and will be after his departure.
Now please i am not knocking bucks for the heck of it apparantly there are a lot of other players in this competition who tragically think they have become bigger than the game its self.
The game is about people like you and me alf the poor bastards
who just want to feel as though we truly belong.There was a player by the name of jeremy sharpen who got delisted just recently he never made the seniors cause he was never given the chance but let me tell ya you could not wish to meet a nicer person he was just a top bloke.
My message here is simple,A club doesnt need to spend wasted money on membership advertising it only has to tell all players
to spend time with its supporters.
Could you imagine the thrill alf if a superstar like bucks
came up to you and said'hey i saw you at the MCG sitting in the pouring rain'and then thanked you for your support.Could you imagine how many memberships that would sell when the word of mouth got around.
ok im prob getting of track a bit but i think yous all know
what im sayin.
And remember im amazed at the footy skills bucks has he is a champion..

and Ps
The rumours
about bucks not getting on with the other players
is getting bigger and bigger.
If bucks for whatever reason has lost the ability to get
on with the other players well it kinda means that this club
is in far greater trouble than what we are to believe.
In house bitch fighting in any club is like that dreaded cancer!!

I have to agree with dad on this one,bucks is paid a hell of alot to do what he does-play and CAPTAIN collingwood and should have known when he became a footballer that autographs,photos,people wanting to talk to him all the time would be part of being a football player especially at the level of football he plays.IF bucks gets sick of all the attention he gets then maybe he should think about where he would be without the supporters cause the money that we pay for our memberships is going towards what he gets paid at the end of every season so he should have no problems with any of the supporters wanting autographs cause all that stuff comes with being a *star* player like he is.
