I think this deal is called cutting your losses.

Other teams have worked him out, how to play him off the ball and limit his influence. We over-payed him on a promise that he didn't deliver. We have WHE, as far as I'm concerned these two are the same, keep one, move on the other. It feels bad to lose a talented player with potential but as Mick said he is a 'Scaredy Cat'. If the club really valued him he would still be here, remember that. I hope we will get the full picture at some stage.

Guys, at least he went to cellar dweller North and not to a club that would have us feeling sick in the guts. It hurts to have spent a pick 6 on him and not get a top 10 back, we made mistakes with him and I hope someone falls on their sword over it, a sacrificial lamb will do. But, we move on as supporters, I'm not going to stop being a Collingwood man, we f**ed up, we owned it, we fixed it, so let's bloody well own it and learn from it. I can only hope that this hard line creates a fork in the road from where we finally take the correct path. Time will tell.

Agree with this - and would add there is no way a Coach in his last year of a contract trades a star for unders, unless there's something seriously wrong with that payer - or the Coach has a better replacement, which at this point seems unlikely.

He “didn’t open up”. WTF does that mean anyway? He’s a kid.

Buckley, eff off.

Neither am I, but I am going to protest by not giving the club my cash until the current administration is shot. Or at least, sacked.

Too right, supporting the Club is compulsory, but too many get that confused with blindly supporting an administration that has grown stale and lost its way

Yes. For both. Too many think that to be a true supporter, you must never criticise the status quo. To my way of thinking, that is the opposite of being a true supporter.

[Mr Miyagi]

Really immature and poor form to be immediately bagging Bucks on radio. North won’t like it

[scoobydoo]

Well, while some are trying to be philosophical about this, just don't go and watch his highlights on afl.com.au. I started to, but couldn't see it through. This is a huge loss.

Mate Heath Shepard would have a good highlight ms package

Buckley burner account, is this?

Hardly bagging.

Why not?
Buckley agreed to play for them then reneged.

I hope he realises hes going to be playing now in front of around 7000 fans each week, thats Norfs base, gone are those 80 000 + crowds for him. He might not care, tho he did seem to love the big huge crowds.

[woodys_world69]

not opening up to the group? that literally describes every shy aboriginal player thats ever played AFL...

that cant be the reason.

EDDIE and the board must be in damage control right now trying to plug all the holes in the sinking ship.

[RudeBoy]

The kid is probably immature - he's a kid after all.

I'm gutted we've given up on such a prodigious talent.

[Mr Miyagi]

Herald-Sun already fanning the flames of Stephenson’s trade comments. What a surprise. Honestly, no other club was interested in him, what does that tell you?

[Haff]

NO ONE FROM THE CLUB CALLED STEVO. Absolute disgrace. **** you Buckley, your time at the club has been an absolute disaster.

[Monco Matt]

Guys, Stevo is not the Messiah...he was just a very naughty boy!

He's only one player, a list of 42 wins flags with an uncompromising group of 22 warriors. We don't have the full compliment yet, never had and Stevo wasn't one. I dare say we have probably another half dozen to sort out as well, with Treloar on top of the pile.

I'm glad to see the club making bloody tough calls instead of continuing with mistakes and signings that aren't working. We've put our hand up finally, hopefully a few more will be cleaned out.
