Resting Buckley?

[Stoles]

Now that Nathan Buckley is set to play against the Power on Friday night, is there any chance of him being given a rest before the end of the season or has Collingwood given up on that plan?

Does your weekend revolve around Port getting beaten or watching your own side win? It sounds like you have a really exciting life.


I hope Buckley plays because he is such a great player to watch when he is in form.

I wouldn’t rest him. Maybe give him light training duties and use him sparingly in the last 2 weeks if we can afford to but unless he is carrying an injury he should play.

Hopefully he gets a rest this week... OR we can finish top 4 and he gets a rest 2nd week of finals :p

Its the serious time of year. None of that resting crap needed.

Hopefully he gets a rest this week... OR we can finish top 4 and he gets a rest 2nd week of finals :pYes. We have to do everything we can to make the top 4 and win in week 1. Then everyone gets a rest. If we miss out on that a week off for Buckley will amount to bugger all impact on our flag chances when it is all said and done.

This was the time to rest him, but the 2 losses in succession, and a top 4 spot still up for grabs, it seems we can't do it.
