Adelaide did it seven goals in a row and a few on top of that in the second half. I blame their lack of recruiting of talls over the years. Too many guys like aish phillips blair broomhead . Good honest players but limited physicallt. Be it height strength pace or a combination. hopes on brown and daicos are tempered by the fact they are the same sort of players.as has been pinted out.They aren't far off yet they are mile off. Where are our young talls comong through to support darcy? This is where we have missed out. You could see it coming five years or more ago with their emphasis on recruiting midfielders with top up forwards or backs from other clubs as kpps |
i agree, but this is the problem we face becasue of the 4-5 compromised drafts. all the big kids went to GWS, GC and those others that are down the bottom.
We were too far up the ladder to land a difference maker (and i think we suffered the same mistake as other clubs who have dominant big men like Cloke - we think they'll play forever). i genuinely think that we had Cloke and Moore pencilled in as our two key forwards for the premiersips we were planning to win in 2017 and 2108.
It is very obvious that we could be a 5 goal better team with one or more threatening bigger guys up forward. Tex and Jenkins for Adelaide means that lesser talls can have a field day. Moore will definitely be a gun of the comp (probably already is). Problem is he is better as the high forward due to his marking on the lead and his mobility. We need the second guy. reid is ok, but his body doesn't allow him to find space or to get to enough contests and he gets found out when the ball hits the ground. the problem is that i just dont know where this guy is going to come from. we are going to need to get very lucky.

Yes it would be a ridiculous decision to not sign Bucks for 2018 given how the team is really starting to come together and play some really exciting football.
As you say just need a couple more quality players and we will be up and about next year. |
Well get over it mate cause you have more chance of coaching Collingwood as Nathan does. He was a useless Captain and even worse coach. Players don't like him and they never will. Get over it! |
Please do us all a favour and change your name to "ihatenathanbuckley" or at least something neutral or something that shows your intent. Having a name like yours and relentlessly castigating Buckley at every opportunity comes across as totally biased and hypocritical.

Christ the numb feeling yesterday hard to take. Our first half was methodical and brilliant I knew the Cows would come at us. Goldsack was bloody amazing yesterday and Wells just keeps showing his weight in gold. We still have to be smarter with our kick ins. Maynard is a goer, but christ those slip ups opened the door for them. Dunn is good with his barrels but players have got to anticipate when he is going for it. Often a lack of communication killed us.Moore showed how good he can become.Should have won it. Simple. But we showed a lot of heart yesterday.Taylor Adams took big steps.

I'm not sure who you have in mind when you say "we accept mediocrity"? Bucks certainly didn't accept it. In fact he said he was angry at our performance.

I don't accept that what we dished up yesterday was mediocre. I accept the drawn result of the game was mediocre. There's a difference. Also we made mistakes yesterday. All sides make mistakes. We're no different. |

| Watching the game again, I reckon we lost the game for one simple reason - missing gettable shots on goal, especially in the last quarter, where we hit the post twice. Inaccuracy cost us 3 games early in the season and it cost us again yesterday. |

Comments like that show just how little credibility you have. Captained us to 2 GFs, won a Norm Smith, a bunch of B&F's, Brownlow, led magnificently all the time, willing his players to get better and get the best out of themselves. Ultimate professional.
Your comments are those of a clown, who knows very little about the area you are talking about. |
How disrespectful to speak of Nathan Buckley in that way. He has done everything possible for that club and you cannot deny his outstanding character and dedication. It is so easy to sit on the sidelines and criticise while not being in the inner sanction. If he didn't care about the club, it would be easier things to do, but he is not a quitter,. He is a fighter and he believes in never giving up.
He has always needed more quality players under him.
You sir, are one person who looks for the easy way out.

| You're on the money, Rudey: 15.13 to 16.7 illustrates yesterday's woeful kicking on goal and missed opportunities. |

Buckley is and always been a Terrible Coach

In the end it was very disappointing that we couldn't spoil one of two marks, and that the maggot didn't pay the clear dropping the ball against 44 on our hff, but seriously our brand of footy isn't too bad for periods of the game. |
What about 2 50's in the last Qtr they did not pay that they Should of?

Really, really disappointed with posters on Nicks. No real reason for all the vitriol. We didn't win, we should have, but no reason to be so agressively rude. |
Two points:
1. Langdon ? Today: 23 disposals. 95.2 DE%. Our best. Goldy ?? Surely, you jest.
2. You should've seen the posts we had to delete !!  |
Stats Lie

I just saw a Pig Fly 
We are at least 2 Years away from Finals and that is IF we do the Right Things but we Struggled to do that for the last 6 Years under Bucks

His final set shot wasn't great but I thought he played a very good game. |
Outside of the Miss Late in the Game he was 1 of our Best Players yesteday
