Here's a link to a podcast of the first such interview which was broadcast live this morning.

Very expansive interview lasting 25 mins. and covering most of the recent talking points here on Nicks, with some deeper insights into the Pies 2018 game style, Goldsack's injury and forecast return, and background to the imposition of the suspension on De Goey.

[Dave The Man]

Shows why he wanted off 360 was to get away from Slobbo

[simon tonna]

yeah a slap in the face to slobbo. an irrelevant person to all of Collingwood.

[The Boy Who Cried Wolf]

Really... every week?! Nothing good can come from this.

[Fatui Attata]

Great stuff! Look forward to more. Bucks is very open and extremely mindful with all of his words. Very engaging man. Inspired me. If we pick up where we left off with Melbourne in 17... look out!

Funny thing is Robbo got the Coke n sars from SEN and was replaced with Gerrard
Whilst it hasn't been said publicly the good Mail said there was to many clubs and players who wouldn't be interviewed by Robbo (Buckley included obviously) so the station made the decision to go with a host who had respect of the footy world
This will only pump Robbo up more to take every opportunity to take pot shots at Buckley the club and players at every chance
I don't have a problem with Buckley doing a weekly spot actually I like it in many ways as long as he's not forced to do so by the club and the questions are related to on field performance and not media noise.
Robbo tried last night to Saint Nick and murphy to death ride Collingwood which they wouldn't much to his annoyance on 360
When Gerrard asked them both about there former clubs being under pressure on both occasions Robbo interrupted and said yeah but it's nothing like the pressure Buckley and Collingwood will be under. Murphy said well every club is under pressure and Nathan knows that so does every coach in the league. Robbo again interrupted and said yeah but the other clubs have had reasons for not being as successful but Collingwood have had years in the wilderness now and it's the hottest topic in football. Saint Nick said well he's under no more pressure than the coaches at st kilda Carlton Melbourne who's clubs haven't won a flag for ages
Robbo was noticeably miffed that neither player would throw Buckley or Collingwood under the bus.
Then when King & McClure came on he started again. King actually said he had trouble leaving Collingwood out of his top 8 as he believed there best was top 8 material but he had left them out simply as he didn't know how they would go starting the season under strength player wise.
McClure had Collingwood just missing the 8 but said they along with St kilda or Melbourne could surprise and be a top 8 side depending on injuries
The experts thus far have mostly left us just out of the 8 finishing around 9-12 which might be right if we are injury struck. I don't see a struck match in list strength between teams battling for places 5-14 a lot of games may be decided by 1 or 2 players performing above expectations on a weekly basis
Let's hope these players are wearing black n white

Slobbo blocks everyone on twitter who calls him out as well. Gutless wonder. Reallly, Collingwood should ask that he doesn't represent his interests at pressers and get someone else. They have scope. If , and if it a big if, this was say an a NFL team team he wouldn't be there. They would simply remove his accreditation. He is is a disgarce to the the once noble profession of Journalism and is nothing more than a self opinionated donut burglar.The organisations that employ him have no integrity.

[Pies4shaw]

It’s a source of serious concern that a guy who thinks that Tom Mitchell is a top 50 player is allowed to express any opinion about football for a living.

[BazBoy]

Nathan made an interesting point on the pre season review of the 18 AFL clubs in as much that the club,s players and their recruits were the bulk of the review

But in our case yes that too but in equal amounts of reviewing our coach which rarely occurred with other AFL clubs

What ever any Collingwood supporters view on Nathan he gets continual discussion

Apart from dearly wanting my side to win I want to see how Bucks finally pans out

[stoliboy]

Hard to listen to all of that. Maybe I've just stopped listening to all the promises.

[BazBoy]

I note this year that Nathan is talking a bit differently and I don’t need my Webster’s beside me to decipher his words & with a more relaxed demeanour

Less rhetoric—more down to earth style
