Post subject: Nathan Buckley runs rings around Paul Roos! | |
|
I just had to say this! Anyone who has been watching AFL360 on Monday nights knows that Bucks' analysis of the game is a good as anybody's. Last night he totally owned Paul Roos over the disaster that was the final seconds of the Melbourne v. St Kilda game. They showed extensive down-the-ground footage of Montagna getting out behind the pack and running straight through to pick up the ball and goal. Roos seemed to stumble over his explanations of what happened, but Bucks was like a laser who saw everything and described the defensive errors to the letter.
Roos has been under enormous pressure in the past month or so on his AFL360 spot. He either blames the past so-called loser culture at Melbourne or the current players. He seems to take no responsibility of his own. Just as well Roos is finishing up at the end of this season because (1) the players are no longer listening to him, and (2) he has been left so far behind where the modern game is at he is as much a dinosaur as Eade and Mick. Nathan Buckley on the other hand seems to understand the complexities of the modern game to a tee.
I thought the jury was out on Nathan Buckley as a coach until this season. I have no doubts at all now that he is in the coaching form of his life, and that he is the right man to lead us to several flags over the next decade.
Bucks has always had an extemely high Footy IQ. I think what has changed with his coaching this year is that he has learned to communicate all that knowledge more effectively to his players. It is truly a wonderful thing to watch Nathan Buckley analyze the game on AFL360 and get all the kudos for it. It makes me proud to say he is a Pies man through and through.
P.S. Hiss will probably call me a club plant. I'm not. I just love my Pies like 99% of the posters on Nicks. _________________ You can keep your Locketts. There was only ONE Gordon Coventry! |

What a difference listening to Buckley compared to that old sour bloke before him. It's worth watching AFL360 for him. Regarding Roos, he is simply coaching for the Superannuation top up. |

Agree completely. Roos might have topped up his super, but he's done irrepairable damage to his coaching reputation and win-loss record. In reality the Swans were lucky he left when he did, because John Longmire is a truly decent modern coach. Roos is mired in defensive strategies.
Anyway who cares about a has-been. I urge anyone who hasn't watched AFL360 to tune in on Monday nights and watch Bucks explain why he is the smartest guy in the room when it comes to coaches. _________________ You can keep your Locketts. There was only ONE Gordon Coventry! |

Roosey only went there on massive coin from the League, he could not give a rats arse about the Deeeeees. all hes taught them, is his flooding ultra defensive game, that landed him a flag with the defensive swannies. The dees cant do it tho, not capable, Roos will piss off next season, wiith a huge payout, and Goodwin willl take over the baskets case povvo toffs. Bucks runs rings round him as a coach, an attacking coach, not this ultra defence cloggging swan bullshit, that Roos and eade honed. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Yes I too thought that Bucks was extra impressive last night.
However, I think Roos was being very guarded as he did not want to point the finger at any players for not doing what they should have been doing.
I reckon the segment with the coaches, Bucks and Roos, is easily the best AFL segment on TV as far as footy analysis goes. |

Roos has had the softest coaching gig in the league. He's had one foot out the door the entire time he's been at the Demons which, until recently, has meant that he's avoided a lot of media scrutiny about his performance and his future. I'm glad he's getting the acid put on him now.

I hear you loudly and clearly and completely agree with you. However please bear in mind that a few of us said the very same thing towards the end of last season when just about every man and his dog here wanted Buck's replaced immediately. It was a feral hunt for Buck’s head. So you can forgive my nervous anticipation of a repeat performance from these silly bloody clowns should Collingwood falter over the next 3-4 weeks. I'm still not fully convinced that the "Sack Buck's Brigade" have all now totally warmed to him and will fully support him when the going gets rough. If we lose the next 4 games, all hell will break loose here, that is Nick's constant for you . _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

Some pretty harsh assessments of Roos here. He accepted the toughest gig in the AFL, to coach the basket case that was Melbourne and turn the club around and get them on the right track, in a limited amount of time. He has done just that imo. Melbourne are no longer the joke they were when he took over. They've developed a more attacking side to their game this season after developing a competent defence last year, and they have taken a few scalps along the way. More importantly though, they're a genuinely competitive side, even if they don't have the wins on the board to back it up yet.
Is Roos better than Buckley? IMO, no. But he has done a good job so far in his short time at the Demons, as opposed to another certain premiership coach that took a competent team on the edge of finals, to the bottom of the ladder in only a couple of short years. |

bucks jumping in to defend hes fellow coaching counterpart and explaining wtf happened kept rossey from tripping over his bottom lip and also kept the hounds at a distance long enough to change the topic of discussion.
