That is obvious |
Watching your team continually make excuses for hidden agenda's of the few over the success and bottom line fundamentals of the many, is sorta like watching your family get destroyed in a train wreck over and over again... |

It is obvious what wolfie said.... he hates losing at the footy!!!!!
But it is obvious a lot of people are accepting of the situation.

Ever thought about following another team? GWS are good to win the next 5 premierships in a row and they're looking for supporters to fill Spotless stadium. |

Wow that was profound.
How about being a proper supporter and demand accountability.

| Thank you thompsoc. What I don't understand is the obvious failure and continual denial, shifting of deck chairs and carpet sweeping to extend this failure... year after year. Its beyond ridiculous, it must end. |

Yeah man, if you don't like Buckley's coaching or the way the administration is currently stuffing everything it touches then you just find yourself another AFL team to support.
Don't worry about the fact many of us were born pies people long before Nathan even considered joining Collingwood as a player (remember he first signed a deal to join North) and Pert didn't come across from Fitzroy till 1991.
But yeah you don't like how the current day "brains trust" is leading the club you just go support GWS!!
Thompsoc, this is the shit you cop for wanting the club to achieve something more than mediocrity... Ridiculous |

I've got no problem with critics of Bucks or of the leadership at our club, posting their views, as long as they occasionally balance the ledger by acknowledging good performances or successes. Similarly, those who blindly see everything as rosy all the time, should be willing to accept our club's limitations and weaknesses. So, a bit of balance all round would be a good thing.
Mostly, however, I reckon all Nicksters should be willing to state their case, whatever it is, without personally attacking others who have a different view. After all, apart from one or two obvious opposition plants, we are all Collingwood supporters. |

Member I know that pure logic is not their strength but these negatives so remind me of those idiots who whinge, whine and sook about a certain TV program but will not either change channels or turn the bloody TV off.   FFS, make a choice for once without constantly sooking 
You negatives are making a personal choice to feel this way. That is fine but you are impacting many others with the ripple effect on a public forum negatives.........

Buckley has said if he don't make finals he's gone next season, so there you have your choice to finally be rid of him if we fail to make finals again he will be gone. Buckley has put it out there end I guess he knows that he needs to keep improving.
Buckley has made mistakes, and he has admitted to them and tried to improve, but it's not just Buckley alone. It's a team, some players need to start pulling their weight as well. For the first half of the season it seemed we were flat, no coach would have gotten them out of that funk.
The second half there seemed to be a new energy amongst them and they finished a lot better. I am not sure what the issue was that caused them to take until the back end of the season to start to play a lot better, but I think it's on the coaching staff, and players to make sure it don't happen again.
Buckley has to improve, he has issues, and has to fix his gameplan and all that much like the players need to fix the way they play as well.
If players and coaches do not perform we move them on, pure and simple no pussyfooting around there.

My problem has always been with the non Collingwood trolls. Balance on a forum, just like balance between experienced/youngsters in a team, is a great thing.
Why the mods actually allow these non Collingwood fans is another question.....
<Mod edit: And who are you to arbitrarily decide who is and is not a troll? All complaints in writing through the prescribed channels, thank you. Otherwise, focus more on posting and less on back-seat moderating - bbmods>

Life is all about mistakes, but it's also about learning from those mistakes and trying not to make the same mistakes again. Coaches have their good and their bad times, even the best coach is not safe from the mistakes.
We live, we learn, and try not to do it again but we nay if we do then we come back stronger than ever.

So let me be clear.
Whinging non bloody stop about Collingwood/Buck's/Eddie etc is totally ok with the likes of you, however us commenting about the perpetual negatavity is not?
Get stood on dude, that is utter bloody bullshit.
Like I said, why should we put up with idiotic bloody posters who wont turn the TV channel or the TV off but continue to whinge about the show?
I would and do tell them to get lost!!
