FACT: Nathan Buckley was cursed forever by The Footy Gods after dogging his contract with us

[1975]

yes it was a bit of a big deal at the time and Carey destroyed him and Buxks was moved after halftime from memory .Def played on each other though .

Can’t remember exactly what year it was but it was Carey first game back after a shoulder reconstruction he’d been out for 14 weeks came straight back in and I don’t think he did kick a goal. The next day there was an interview in the paper with Buckley crowing about how to play Carey, he always leads to his left blah blah blah.
no need to say that they tried if the next time they played us and Carey tore bucks a new one and bucks was sent up the ground with his tail between his legs, if someone is clever enough to research this it will all be in print somewhere.
dream on Collingwood supporters fact is their beloved champs accomplishments really add up to nothing but an exaggerated story of the time he played well on an unfit true champion and not much else.

Fair enough that North supporters enjoy bagging Buckley, but I would have loved to have seen him playing in our team in the 90's. Buckley kicking it down Carey's throat would have been a awesome site, and I'm sure it would have delivered another flag.

So basically you are saying he cost us a flag.

I say two

Not sure anyone here is denying that - the fact he had two chances and reneged on the deal both times is why we celebrate his non premiership career. Karma.

Middleweight going up against a heavyweight, similar to when Sheedy put Watson on Carey in 93.

Yep, and he chose the other option, which is this.

Buckley and the empty trophy cabinet: a true Collingwood story

Nathan Buckley arguably is Collingwood’s greatest player, and has a winning record as a coach, but leaves the club empty-handed. Collingwood’s favourite thing is favourite sons, but their two flags since 1958 have both been won by outsiders.

He went to the right place for carrying footy god curses.

The problem with Nafe though is he would burn Duck and kick the point himself.

At the end of the day it was Buckley's missed opportunity. Both were the ultimate professionals on the field and training track and no doubt the two of them would of had a great working relationship, possibly the best ever.

Kinda hoping he finds a job at pretty much any other retailer. Seen enough of this bloke on my TV screen over the years.

Not sure that’s true B,
Was a very disliked player among his own playing group. Remember couple of very good senior players leaving when he became captain.

That isn't actually Karma but anyway....

Got to say I’m loving the Buckley’s 10year reign at Collingwood was a great success line that is coming out of the club.

Did he die overnight? 16 pages in the Herald Sun. Unbelievable.

Jokes aside, I think the blews should have a serious look at Brad..
He’d bring stability.
