Boys i ain't going anywhere!
So let me reinterate my position
Bux is a Dud
Ed has stayed far too long.
Hine is average... but I maybe guilty of overating him.
And Blair is not AFL material.
That sums up 80% of my postings.
Now boys ...what do you stand for?

Collingwood are a bottom team. Not just this week or this year, but for years. This has been allowed to continue with poor decision after poor decision when recruiting. Constantly overrating a crap list and bringing in top up players to play alongside top up players. That makes for a team of battlers that worship Buckley. And tactically Buckley has always been a poor coach, killing big forwards and playing smalls that don't have the pressure skills for the AFL. All the while the supporters year after year have been fed propaganda of how good the team is despite getting worse and worse in front of our eyes? The club is hellbent on justifying the insanity of getting rid of Malthouse after winning 21 games in his last year. It's time for MCGuire to show leadership and admit the mistake and move on for the sake of this club. We will lose a decade through this terrible mistake - let's not lose another one.

Langdon did OK? Must have been watching a different match to me. He needs to be traded to Freo IMO. Waste of space apart from some marking.... at times.glasseyevfx wrote:......
Langdon did ok Maynard had a few clangers early but at least he was fighting.

I don't know - too many cameo performances. Not enough taking charge - in and under.

I now want us to tank by means of getting players who need surgery to get it done now so they can be ready for a pre season. Of course the benefit in so doing is the tanking effect & getting a good draft pick position.
The first two goals gifted to Essendon were based on unforced errors, skill errors. They reflected our performance today. Langdon again was responsible for a match defining turnover when we had kicked unanswered goals, had momentum, had possession & WTF does he effen' do? He overthinks the situation, hesitates++ goes sideways & executes poorly. Another case where he believes his skills are better than they are. His decision making is atrocious & he is far too slow.
We really miss a fit Sinclair (let alone a fit Wells). Maynard could have been played in his more natural position at HBF than back pocket.
The coach needs to take responsibility for the inept performance. I feel sorry for Bucks but the record is dismal & in a wider perspective shows how poor the Malthouse Bucks deal was. While I love a lot of the things Ed has done for Collingwood it's starting to sound like the ALP's signature for the 1972 successful election campaign "It's Time"

Seriousl,y watching it today was humiliating
I think someone said Smith was a tough player - at least 3 times today hetook some short steps to avoid putting his body on the line weak as.
Cox - i think the experiment has failed
Good to see bucks learns from his mistakes - but wait he plays Maynard as a back pocket and Fantasia only kicks 5 on him. In true Buckley style he keeps him there all match.
Given that the match was effectively over half way through the second what moves did Buckley make for the rest of tHe match ? As john Kennedy once said - don't think Do
But don't worry Eddie and Pert still want to extend Buckleys contract make no mistake about that

Looks like we'll be getting #4, at worst.Cruisinwithdids wrote:A lot of comments here saying we need to tank for draft picks. We are travelling beautifully for the best possible pick whilst trying so why tank?
Hawthorn's first pick is about #567.
Can we swap our first rounder to them for Clarkson??
I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within.
