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

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.
