I back Bucks, but I also back the players and the list we're building and built so far.
If Bucks leave in the near future, I'm confident the next coach will have immediate success and I hope people don't forget Buck's contribution.
There might be a better coach out there for our players, but there are also worse ones.

Being angry about the past seems self defeating...and who is to say the "turmoil" if it existed was unnecessary?
In any event Mick is long gone...so assume you contend Bucks ego was partially to blame for what you see as avoidable angst?

Geez! Never thought of that. But he is a savvy media manipulator, so I wouldn't be surprised. Creative.

I've said before I'm 50/50. I think Bucks deconstructed a great list which he could have kept together. Having said that, I think he's done the best he could and we'll be really good next year and 2017-2020.
Not sure who's seen this article, but there was a pretty devastating attack on Bucks in the Guardian:
"Buckley was given the scope to disassemble a team in its prime and rebuild it in his own style. He may be building a team for future success, yet it’s still not clear what was wrong with the one he had. If that team wasn’t the right one for Buckley, perhaps the time wasn’t right for him to take the top job when he did."

Nice opinionated article, was mentioned in another thread, can't remember which one . Almost every thread ends up with a discussion with about Bucks nowadays.

Interesting comments about our leadership and trade prospects. Nice to read something positive for a change.
One thing that it didn't clarify. Will we get the list in such a shape so we can continue our manic press for a full season or will we change plans when we get more experience and skills ?

Time will tell us if Buckley is the right man for the job and will take the Magpies to a Premiership. We just have to give him time, that's all the club can do.

A little fudging of the facts in that article. Jolly, for one, was past it. I remember watching him in the VFL and he couldn't get off the ground; and much as I loved Herry, he was disruptive and needed a new start.

Yeah, the article was over the top. But asked some decent questions too.

Tbh at round 5 or 6 I was thinking Dimma would get the sack mid season... As did many if the sports shows. He turned that around. I'm hoping Bucks does too.

Pendles certainly backs Bucks as the right man for the job.

It lasted a whole season in 2010
We have a lot of young guys building their fitness base and learning AFL standard footy
I know it's a big ask for certain people to calm down and have a rational look at this year compared to last, but we have improved and tracking in the right direction with a very young team.
We've had a much better second half to the year than last year where we were getting flogged and never looked like winning.
We should've beaten Hawthorn and Sydney but for goal kicking and took it Freo in Perth. Yes the Richmond game was bad, every team has a couple of bad games every season, ours were Richmond, Melbourne and Geelong.
Bucks has us on the right path

I know. It' surprising isn't it. Normally club captains come out publicly and do the opposite. Just like subordinates do generally in any field of endeavor.
