I've got no problem with people like you TP, who are skeptical about Bucks' coaching because of our poor record under his reign. My comment about telling some here that they should phuck off and support another team, is solely directed at those who have personally attacked Bucks with vitriolic abuse. I do not consider any of them to be Collingwood SUPPORTERS. Constructive criticism is not only fair and reasonable, but welcome.
As for your last 2 sentences - I agree 100 per cent. |

Guess what you are saying is that Buck's was better than the alternatives |
More along the lines of not knowing what's in Collingwood's best interests: The shoot oneself in both feet option.

Well it came true as predicted by the news cycle.
Those who don't like the decision that's fair enough but remember a few things.
If not Buckley then who ?
Another untried coach who may or may not get better results.
There wasn't a tried coach who was out there kicking the door down
I remember some of the Buckley knockers pointing to Lyons in the early season on how quick he turned Fremantle around how did that work out ? Also those saying Longmire had lost his mojo as a coach look pretty dumb now as well.
Did you see any improvement in the way we played ?
I for one did there were some good signs yes and some bad ones too but our average losing margin was 19 points which means we were competitive in nearly every game. That's a lot more than can be said for many other sides
Our style needs improvement for sure so does our ability to sustain efforts over 4 quarters. I think many players showed improvement enough to say they will be better next year
Does 2 years make sense ?
Well yeah it does because it means we won't have to live through the weekly spectacle like we did this year. I'm sure at times the players were very tired of being asked the question. I actually think it's a credit to the playing group that they finished the season strongly. If they didn't want the coach the results would have been way different
So what happens next ?
Well the way I see it he actually has 1 year. If things aren't markedly better this time next season Eddie can sack him and have a clear mindset doing so.
I'm still in the iffy column that he can turn it around. I hope he does because if he does it means the club I love and support will be successful and that's what's important to me.
Bucks the bills in your court mate take the opportunity presented to you. Learn from your mistakes and keep improving on your strengths. All Collingwood supporters wants success it's time to deliver

The truth is that we fans have no idea what goes on inside the club at that level.
Is re-appointing Buckley right or wrong? I don't know. All we can do is trust that the people in charge are making the decisions they feel are right for the club, decisions based upon the firsthand knowledge they have, their experience and the results of the review.
As a fan I choose to believe that they're smart enough, and ruthless enough, to get it right. |

The two years was bullshit. Thinking there won't be media scrutiny just because he's signed for two years is moronic. It just means the club is on the hook for 1 year of coaching salary if Buckley fails again in 2018 and he is sacked. In fact it hurts us in paying for the next coach if we need to appoint one after 2018. So dumb by the club!!

| This is forum, so all opinions are welcome. Those on here trying to quash that opinion are just displaying undemocratic sensitivity. I ain't here to agree with any one person, and nor should anyone be. I'm here because I'm a Collingwood supporter and I'll support whoever I want. But I won't be a blind Parocial cheerleader. Buckley has already failed dismally and Collingwood are today the joke of the competition. |

^ We are hardly the joke of the competition, that's just rubbish.

The turnaround of Richmond this year and our positive record toward the end of the season saved him. Not getting belted this year, beating or pushing top teams, the players support and lack of any obvious replacement have all been a perfect storm to save Bucks.
I look forward to the trade/draft period and seeing who we bring in as assistants or senior coaching help and reloading for a real crack next year. We're almost there and it would be a bit of a shame to sack a coach coming out of his own rebuild. |

My sources told me he was safe. Also, the body language and certain comments by Buckley indicated he knew he was safe. This decision was made months ago.
The fans were lied to by Edwood. He is beyond contempt to me. you are all mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed the proverbial. |

Well, I heard the news on the radio while I was slaving away today at work... and to be honest it's hit me pretty hard and although I'm bitterly disappointed, it was obvious that this was what was going to happen (what I don't get is 'what the f*uck was the point of giving him a one year contract last time, if they were going to rubber stamp him a two year deal down the track regardless of accountability? it beggars belief!?!).
Not that fact that Buckley has been reappointed, but that it seems that real alternatives weren't even truly considered, as Eddie said himself 'no one was talked to' - look I don't hate Buckley even though I've never really liked him - but he needs serious help if this is going to work... and I just can't see that happening, anyway I regress...
I accept the clubs decision because I have little other choice, but my stance will continue as before and in its present form I do not support Buckley nor Eddie in any shape or form, although I shall continue to support the team.
PS: The fail train rolls on 'All aboard!!!" Choo Choo!!!!!
