Great responses by Bucks but wow at the dumb questions by those 3 morons on the panel.

So many questions about Mick and if it's "Bucks' team" now, cmon, those were being asked 2 years ago.

^^Yep, the panelists joked that they should take more viewer questions, as they're better than their own. That's not a joke. No doubt they are. How many more questions need to be asked about Buckley's personality and his relationship with Mick? Get over it guys.

I was hoping Bucks would answer one of Carey's questions with a nostalgic reminiscing of that time he whipped Carey's arse at CHB in the mid 90s...

[Funkadelic]

I remember that game bat, the duck had kicked two early goals, bucks goes on him and destroyed him, never saw too many players do that, especially a midfielder! Always go to this game when arguing with some muppet who only rates bucks as an 'outside mid getting cheap touches'.

Nathan Buckley really is all class. What current day coach has to everytime he is interviewed answer questions about an ex coach?

He has been the coach since 2012. How about these muppets ask Chris Scott if he phones Mark Thompson for example.

Seriously they are just looking for a story that isn't there.

My respect for this man continues to grow. We are also seeing that he can coach.

A few nights ago, I watched his "Open Mike" episode from a year or two ago. He is the most self-possessed, collected, thoughtful and mature communicator I have ever seen in a public role in the AFL. If our politicans were as honest and credible as this man, we'd be the luckiest country in the world. It remains to be seen whether his undoubtedly champion qualities as a player can translate into the tactical overview that brings on-field success ; but unless he is completely different behind the scenes to his public persona, I think we will prove to have the best coach in the AFL by a street. Success needs demonstration, and I need to see the on-field dominance secured before I can believe fully, but he's incredibly impressive.

I tried to watch this but fell asleep before Bucks was on. Now thanks to napping on the couch, I'm awake at 4am. What a shit show, should've watched Carro and crew on the 9.

They are are a bunch of morons. They questions were cringeworthy ..

Some of their leading questions.

1. Asking 'has he found a Nathan Buckley' in his current playing group, ie someone as fanatical as him, is it Pendles Ball - his answer all class - Pendles is the best Pendles, etc
2. Trying to say that he didn't quite understand people like Swan as he is such a perfectionist.
3. Trying to make out that he hates Mick and holds a grudge - showing him the T-Shirt

It was really pathetic ..

[blackandwhite4life]

It's been good to watch Bucks keeping his emotions a bit more under control over the last month.

Watching Mick lose the plot was always a bit of fun, but with Bucks it just didn't seem "Bucks-like". I like the more controlled Bucks when they show him in the coaching box. It inspires confidence.

Beams said last week that at 1/4 time, he kept his cool and just reinforced what had to be done. That's good to hear!
