We have an excellent coach!
Well, that is debatable.

Probably wouldn't have that issue with the salary they could hypothetically offer up...

No way in hell.
I am still baffled as to how bomber escaped further scrutiny re; Essendoping scandal.
He was the one who brought in Robinson (and his buddy Dank)
Dank had previously been at Gold Coast- where Malcom Blight was board member- you'd think that as they both coached the cats within a few years there would possibly be some conatact made to check the credentials of a bloke??
Not to mention the strong rumours about his extra curricular activities.
I reckon Carlton would be a better fit |

would this be worse than when Carlton hired Mick Malthouse. Me thinks so......
Defender is off the hook. This takes over the mantle of stupidest thread of the year!

| I've concluded over many years that you need to be demented to be a successful VFL/AFL coach and Bomber Thompson fits the bill perfectly. That's been the problem with Nathan Buckley till now. He's been too nice a guy. Here's hoping next year Buckley will start abusing the media, abuse opposition players, abuse and ignore the Collingwood fans and be a total pain in the arse like Clarkson. Then we'll know we have a successful coach. |

Thompson had a good list and support staff guiding him (Neil Balme especially) at Geelong.
Yes he did well then but look at how he left them and went to Essendon. You couldn't trust a bloke like that again. No just no to him coaching the pies.
If we have to make a change of coach (not before this time next year) then go for a Stewart Dew. Someone with a good track record developing players in a successful culture and energy to burn.

Yep, this! |
Bomber will never coach anywhere again.
Spend some time on google punching in his name and you'll soon work out why.
He allegedly has some issues. |
I googled. Didn't find much. Got some links?

For some great reasons best kept to myself to save myself from the infliction of defamation laws, my simple answer is a comprehensive NO.

And that is putting it very nicely RB. Worse than that in reality.
Just wish I could say more here........

Give Bucks his final year of his contract, if no finals, then go and appoint Bomber then, ive said all along hes the only one I would want to replace Bucks, if indeed Bucks has to be replaced, if things don't work out again. We have shown vast improvement over the last few weeks, aint it marvellous what the return of injured stars can do for a team. But, the Bucks haters never, ever cut him that slack, ad nauseum., but its a fact.

Actually its really not!I can't get a damn soul to debate the so-called ability he has. Any way you look at it, stats, comparisons, numbers, progress, examples, anything, there is simply no data to show Buckley isn't the worst coach in the game, maybe second to Leppa.
these fools just cant get Buckley the player out of their head, but really, if you'd analyzed his playing days you woulda known he wasn't suited to coaching.
the data is obvious: A team rising to a flag with consecutive Minor Prems for the first time since the '60's, changes coaches and drops from there to 4th, 6th, 11th, 12th. You'd almost consider it just growing pains if he took over a side that was 16th, but NO! He took over a Rolls Royce, a team playing far, far better than they had in 2010, or 1990. I think it was the best Magpie side in the 50 odd years I've been watching, and the numbers, (percentage etc- highest since 1929!!! and only 2 losses! first time since 1915!). Others don't agree they were that good, but you cant say they weren't among the very best. Surely?
Just 5 seasons later that team is going to miss the finals 3 years in a row, for the first time this century! How is that even possible? In 2010-2011, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU expected continued success, as did the whole world.
There is no possible way a reasonable person could look at just that bit, and conclude that we have a "great coach"
So no, no debate.
Now, the REASON I want Bomber is not just his sustained record of success, its because he is among the very best in EXACTLY the area Buckley is weakest. Getting the best out of & motivating a group of guys. Just look what he did with Essendum in '14, with the shit they were going through.
The only arguments the Buckley boys can ever present are our crap list, and the 5 years of injuries.
Look back at how often I've been right about stuff like this, and listen:
Get Bomber: Top 4 in '17
Keep Buckley: same again, finishing between 7th & 13th. Remember this, coz I'll bet the farm. If you have a group of guys who are showing signs of improvement, the catalyst to a big ladder jump is almost always a new coach. Now look at the sides we were beating easily a few years ago:Melbourne, StKilda, Carlton, GWS, Footscray. All heading in a northerly direction.
What do YOU think the reason is?
