There are too many options imo but it is what it is, 2 or 3 would have sufficed. _________________ All Aboard!! Choo Choo!!! |

I can only form an opinon on what I see on ground. It ain't pretty. Something had to change. Whether it is enough change time will tell.
I voted no. But God I hope I'm wrong. I so want bux to succeed. Guess I'll turn up next year and see if there has been enough change. I dislike our style and method.
I'll also add this comment. Swans have been the 2nd best club in the comp for a decade. Yet no one copies their style. If nothing else it is consistent and puts them in contention. |

Was listening to Dermie talk on SEN comparing Hawthorn vs. Collingwood
He said Hawthorn worshipped success whilst Collingwood worshipped it's stars.
Look like things haven't changed since Dermie played. |

Seriously mods, what is the point of this thread, other than to begin another round of undermining our coach?
FFS, move on.
Nicks used to be a site for Magpie supporters, but now I'm not so sure.

IF you compare the amazing success of the piss and poop, that could be said about nearly any other team, also. How bout he analyse the deees, the team we beat, with seven stars out, with kids, and ruined their finals hope. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

I liked "The Age" article; ie:
"We have seen the way this list plays for Nathan. He is a man of the highest integrity, he has compassion for his players on and off the field, he is uncompromising in his commitment to the role and we believe he is taking this group in the right direction,"
The whole playing process needed looking at and obviously the conclusion was that Bucks wasn't the primary reason for the poor performance. I am a Buckley fan and looking forward to seeing improvement next year - I just hope they get the restructuring process right. |

Name a club that would have resigned him? I can only think of Richmond. But I have no option now but to hope again. So I will. Go Pies! _________________ Get back on top. |

Goes to show the gulf between the thinking of supporters and a professional football club. There is no way this decision is not evidenced based _________________ Be Staunch, Be Proud, Be Collingwood |

60 years of results speaks for itself. Individuals reign not the collective at Edwood. The Hawks know where their stars lie and that is behind the club not in front. |

From what I've read, a key tipping point in favour of re-signing Buckley was the playing group. he had the playing group but the report apparently indicated the club had failed to support him appropriately.
revolving door in the director of football role wouldn't have helped that.
i think the evidence of this season is that Buckley can coach, and can change.
personally I also think that if there had been a top notch experienced candidate available, they would have taken the PR path and moved on, but there wasn't so they weren't prepared to go for another untried coach and instead give Bucks another 2 years and (hopefully) restructure things and put all the support in place.
I just hope that we can have a spell now from the constant posts and threads blaming Buckley for everything from global warming to Donald trump and get back to supporting the club.

NO other club ranks anywhere near the piss an poop, in that regard, No club, just ask deeees and saints fans. ! As for Derm the germ, he is a tosser of the highest order, always has been. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

You live in the past Pnc. Derm played for us and them, he would have great insight. As for the flags. Have a look at Essendon and Carlton and Geelong and Brisbane and a few others. We have won 2 in 60 years and even the Dogs have won 2 in less than 60 years. For such a glory club we have delivered f..k all. Stop and look objectively for a change. |
