This post really struck a chord for me; the comparison between Bucks (and really for that matter, a lot of AFL coaches) Vs the clowns on the Hill is apt. I think the difference lies in the fact that Bucks is, and always has been, a proud servant of the club, whereas the jokers on The Hill are proud servants of nothing but their own ego and thirst for power.
The other point is player development; and I'm speaking in a non-football sense. I feel there's a really good culture vibe coming from the club, particularly the playing group, this year. Its all feels very pre-Buddy swans like to me, very 'No dickheads' orientated. Top stuff, and all thanks to Bucks
Anyway, rant over; suffice to say that Bucks is a class act. I certainly had my doubts after Round 1, but my word what a turnaround _________________ "The last thing he expected WAS THE FIRST THING HE GOT!!!!!"

Absolutely. Love the way Bucks handles himself in the media, professional and controlled without being overly dull. Though, he can slip into an overuse of businessese - intellectual property is one he likes to use a lot. _________________ Well done boys! |
