News Buckley standing down; Robert Harvey interim coach for 2021

[Engimal v3]

North can claim the credit in a roundabout way, McGuire came up with the inheritance scheme to keep Buckley from taking the North job.

I wish North won 2x flags like the last time Buckley knocked them back

French Open final

Ha ha

Spare me

Also forgot Euro 2020 is commencing on Friday as well. Massive oversight to not be included really in that list. Any of the major golf tournaments starting in the next 24 hrs?

Oh, without question. For a couple years there, they were unbeatable. They had a stretch from mid 2009 season to the end of the 2011 season where they went 55-11-2.

Geelong from 2007-2009 for comparison were 65-10.

Add 11-2 to start 2012 under Buckley and it's 66-13-2. Tremendous team Malthouse was able to put together. Should've won more than 1 premiership.

They were pretty young too, weren't they? I guess you're right about the deconstruction post-Malthouse. Definitely disappointing looking back.

After Malthouse left AA CHF Travis Cloke fell off a cliff and AA CHB Ben Reid spent 8 years injured

Richmond made measurable improvement

Year	Wins	Ladder	Age Rank	Diff
2010	9	9th	9th	+9
2011	9	9th	9th	+9
2012	9	9th	9th	+9
2013	9	9th	9th	+9
2014	9	9th	9th	+9

2018	9	9th	9th	+9
2019	9	9th	9th	+9

That looks about right

The Brisbane Cup at Eagle Farm Saturday commands interest and canny play from Bucks to call it with so much interest focussed there

 

[Ice-Wolf]

LOL at Pendlebury "First time in my career I've been through this situation" uh Pendles you were there when Malthouse quit mate.

Snow season opens?

No Snow Season this year mate. Melbourne are playing well.

Lets not forget the NBA playoffs.

But that board have hunted him for months and now that it has finally happened they are all hurt and broken. I understand your point but its a little strange.

Buckley always had a large number of supporters on the board, the only posters that hurt from this are the ones that wanted him to stay.

 

[mike123]

Go look at the scores/margins St Kilda put up over 08-10 and you will see the "Ross Lyon = Ultra defensive" theory is patently false. Same with Freos peak.

When he had the players his style lead to some pretty great wins.

For whatever reason the players just couldn't execute in Grand Finals.

If the Pies (or Blues) buy in to what he is selling then they could get a few pretty good years out of both lists. Carlton in a better position to strike.

Not a long term sustainable style though so give him 6 years - 2 to train it, 2 to build on it, 2 to launch for a flag - Then move on.

In 2010 St Kilda were the lowest scoring top 8 side in the H+A season.

 

[queensberryrules]

That looks about right

ROAR!!

 

[projectv]

That looks about right

2016 called and would like its joke back.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

Irrelevant to the thread but certainly relevant to Collingwood. Why is it still called The Holden Centre? Holden's like... dead right?

 

[MagpieJoel]

Collingwood board are sad and will miss him.

Also on that board, they want him sacked every week.

How can you win?

People want change, but recognise he bleeds for Collingwood. It's possible to have empathy for the bloke for this reason.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Was one of the most Bizarre choices when they replaced Mick Malthouse fresh off a flag. Was always going to fail.

That's rewriting history. The agreement occurred before all that, after Mick had taken time away from the club for family and health reasons.

 

[davywap]

After Malthouse left AA CHF Travis Cloke fell off a cliff and AA CHB Ben Reid spent 8 years injured

Cloke got both of his second AA under Bucks and nearly won a Coleman, and how is Ben Reid's injuries Bucks' fault?

Can you share what you've achieved in your life? Flog.

 

[Tasmanian saint]

Why does something have to be wrong FFS? maybe he is just a sh*t coach ! huh?

In 2010 St Kilda were the lowest scoring top 8 side in the H+A season.

He was a bad bounce away from coaching a flag mate in 2010 .

 

[L_W_P]

In 2010 St Kilda were the lowest scoring top 8 side in the H+A season.

True. We played basically that whole season without Riewoldt though, so that will naturally have an impact on things. We still had an average winning margin of 6 goals though, hardly a 'defense at all costs' style that seems to be eternally stuck to Ross Lyon.

When he has good players, who totally buy in and execute, his system and style produces. A couple of better executed kicks he would be a multiple time premiership coach.

Both Collingwood and Carlton could do a lot worse that giving Ross the reigns for a while.

If you win a flag and no one gives a s**t, does that mean it really happened?

 

[the avoca drover]

"I fought Treloar and, Treloar won"

Stop doubling up.
Are you trying to maximise your likes?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Will pies pick best coach or just the biggest name?

 

[Engimal v3]

If you win a flag and no one gives a sh*t, does that mean it really happened?

Yeah

 

[purplearmy]

He gave good press conferences, but that’s about it. Bye, Bucks.

Lol. Trot on.
