I had my doubts but I stuck fat with him all the way. I’d be happier for nobody more than him if we can go all the way.
It’s the one thing that eluded him as a player. The comparisons between him and Hird and Voss inevitably come down to that. If he coaches us to the big one it’ll be something that neither of them can ever match. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'

Coach of the year! Amazing achievement by Bucks to get this team into a Grand Final.
I even had doubts after the first two rounds this year... _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

The question is: what should be changed and what should be kept in the way we play the GF compared with the previous two encounters? There are superficial similarities to what we faced going into the prelim. final: two previous losses, the second closer than the first, with some things maybe working and some not...
WCE play the gamestyle we're supposedly uncomfortable with. |

After losing the first 2 and conceding the first 3 goals to Carlton, I remember thinking what a waste, how am I going to put up with this for another 2 years.
Thinking why bother showing up.
The thought of microwaving my membership seemed appealing at that time.
Great effort by Bucks and the coaching group. Definitely coach of the year, but knowing Bucks, that means little. Winning this week is all that matters. |

Tom Phillips (on WCE):
“When we played them last time here, they tried to open up the ground a bit, make it pretty big.
“It was a highly transitional game. Not a lot of contests at stoppage. So for us we’re going to try and change that around. We want to make sure it’s a bit of a s*** fight, a dog fight. High stoppage, high contested. They love it in space, with time to work with, so we need to make sure we keep it in close, play to our strengths.”

The Stanford story: When Simpson and Buckley went on tour
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-stanford-story-when-simpson-and-buckley-went-on-tour-20180926-p50688.html
"At Stanford, the 10 positional coaches directed areas ranging from wide receiver to running backs to quarter back to outside linebackers and defensive backs, meeting firstly as a group then as either defence or offence and then as small groups specific to their position and role.
These positional coaches not only planned but made decisions on who played with the head coach only asked for his input if the decision wasn't clear.
Inside this program, if a head coach overruled a positional coach on such issues, the move would be considered an undermining one." |

Jeremy Howe:
“I think we have an appreciation for the defensive side of the game. Everyone’s got talent, and we can really move the ball, that’s where you see the skills and excitement part of it, but you’ve got to be able to keep teams under a reasonable score. That’s probably the thing we struggled with at times.
“A strong defensive unit – Justin Longmuir’s brought a lot of that from West Coast. Our forwards and mids, the pressure that they’ve been putting on saves the backs considerably. It’s a bit of a ‘one-in, all-in’ mentality at the moment.”

Buckley's self-discovery takes him within sight of the holy grail
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/buckley-s-self-discovery-takes-him-within-sight-of-the-holy-grail-20180928-p506po.html
'As captain, Buckley had an epiphany when teammate Heath Scotland, then 20, told him: "When I talk to you, I feel like you're thinking about the next thing you're going to say to me, rather than actually listening.''
This time, the recognition was forced by failure as a coach, by the frank feedback he received via the Walsh review, and by his own capacity for self-analysis, a trait that his former football lieutenant and friend Neil Balme believes is Buckley's greatest strength.
...
The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a Japanese self-help guide that takes the form of a dialogue between a teenage student and a philosopher/mentor. In conversations with various parties, including the Collingwood players, Buckley has cited the book as a seminal influence upon his attitude this year.' |

Makes no never mind how good a coach he is. Buckley is cursed to never, ever hold a premiership cup on the dias on GF day.
We may as well part ways now and give ourselves a chance to win a premiership. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

That's a really knee-jerk reaction. Have you stopped to think how amazing it was we made in the first place???? |
