When he was at St. Kilda, Richmond, Footscray and West Coast was he truly one of them as well? He spent as long at WCE and won 2 flags as he has been at Collingwood. Malthouse made a decision for Malthouse. Nothing wrong with that but let’s not canonise him for it. He probably respects...

Yes he is to a point. Nevertheless your club wanted to include him in their process, North wanted to appoint him without a process and Collingwood gave him a job to prevent anyone else getting him and so that they could secure him. 100% of clubs in need of a coach plus the club he has spent...

When?

When? That may well all be 100% true. It is also true that his contract expires at the end of 2010 and GC can offer him a bucket load with impunity from the price of error. You probably didn’t expect Nick Davis to leave after he said he’d stay. You probably didn’t expect Pail Williams to...

Well it is a process. Nothing in the universe to suggest it is the proper process though.

Yes. His father played for North so he should have been able to choose North. But he isn’t the same - his father played for a club. That’s why he was a father son candidate to begin with. His father didn’t even play for Brisbane. That’s why he didn’t go there. Look the Murphy example...

What do you base that on? The only think that has changed in recent years is Eddie has left The Footy Show. Given it was crap and no one watched it, I don’t see how that would make much difference even if it added a heck of a lot to the total package. Collingwood’s exposure doesn’t just...

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official He won’t get no $1m from the president but yeh he might get a good payout from the Buckley coach sponsorship deal funds. It’s not really relevant though is it? As I said yet to be defined. I would imagine it is going to be mostly about directing or coaching the...

How about it is home, his family is there and they can offer $1m to a 20 year old. They have no cap. If they fill what they have they will get an extension crying difficulty in signing players and the need to keep their early draftees. If they run out of money they get more from the AFL...

Look, none of us know whether he loves his former home and what the family issues are. He may want to return home, he may love Melbourne, he may be smart or have a smart manager who knows the GC will add to his next contract no matter who it is with. Collingwood should make sure he enjoys...

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official Doesn’t sound like it to me. I don’t get this argument, common as it appears to be. If you can learn everything there is from someone about coaching by playing under them then Buckley has the accumulated knowledge of premiership coaches Malthouse, Mathews, Walls...

If Richmond were smart they wouldn’t be in the desperate position they are now in. They haven’t been smart since Tom Hafey left and the Richmond/Wilson team ran out of puff. As for offering MM a 5 year term, he already has that and it isn’t at Richmond. They have to offer something pretty...

If that glorious event happens then we will be faced with the choice of renegotiating the deal to give MM more time in the coaching role or sticking with the plan but 2 flags buys MM the right make the call according to his drum beat. If that means we lose Buckley then sobeit. It is the...

I don’t think there should be any price – in order to encourage more use. In fact it should be a spot outside the list cap number. Ben Reid should be at The Dogs and Picken should be at Collingwood. Murphy should have been able to select North who he barracked for and who his old man played...

I would have thought the announcement would be done with fanfare AFTER Lexus exit so as not to stomp on them and AFTER the replacement is in place so as to give them quality coverage. I would think that shows both integrity and commercial acumen. I would have thought it was merely what would...

The Father Son rule is a joke. It is a disgrace that any son of a player who played a game for a club cannot walk onto that clubs list for free without any draft sacrifice. All you have to then do is frame interim rules for new entrants to even up the probabilities. We should encourage...

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official A heck of a lot of wishful thinking there. More wishful thinking. Tell me do you REALLY think that is going to happen? Firstly, the role is yet to be defined. Secondly, the board appoints the coach and in Collingwood’s case in particular do you think MM is...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: NATHAN Buckley is believed to have told North Melbourne he won't be taking its coachi Look if you are going to throw clichés around then at least try and be accurate. Blood smearing I’ll give you. Draft tampering is pretty tough when you aren’t in the draft though. Buckley was...

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official My view is my view and it isn’t shared by most Collingwood supporters so don’t take what I say and use it against anyone else. My opinion is more about Malthouse than it is Buckley. I firstly don’t think Malthouse will win a premiership at Collingwood. That...

Interesting times. I really didn’t think it would happen but it looks more likely now that we will get MM as coach and Buckley as something else. My guess would be reserves coach. Whether it can all work or not I don’t know. You have to love Buckley loving Collingwood though.

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official Tears? Worst case scenario is Malthouse cracks it and storms off. Week 1, year 2, if it happens it will be because the results are not there. I might shed a tear of joy.

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official You CAN’T get Malthouse. The process rules him out. He has to sigh with Collingwood before the Richmond process can possibly be complete or else knock back Collingwood and take his chances on the Richmond process. As I said, I’d be happy to lose Malthouse but...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: NATHAN Buckley is believed to have told North Melbourne he won't be taking its coachi What I find strange but not surprising is how respected Buckley became when he might leave Collingwood and how he is now returning to being disrespected with the prospect of him going back to...

Re: EXCLUSIVE: NATHAN Buckley is believed to have told North Melbourne he won't be taking its coachi WTF? You make an assumption that Buckley is shafting MM because he goes (may go?) with his heart and takes a job at Collingwood and claim that as dodging a bullet? Why? Malthouse has had a...

Re: Buckley a Magpie - official Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest but it is a bit hard to do that when you have preached the process like it was an end in itself.

Re: EXCLUSIVE: NATHAN Buckley is believed to have told North Melbourne he won't be taking its coachi Well as an untried kid he did exactly that and justified it immediately.

A high level of accountability is for the lesser players. I’d happily take Judd and allow him not to be hamstrung with too many defensive thoughts. He needs to tackle when appropriate, which he does and he need to man up when appropriate which he generally does but at a stoppage he has to be...

All we can = tell MM he will not be renewed and tell Buckley he has the job on an initial 3 year deal. We will not do all we can. Whether we do enough remains to be seen I still doubt Buckley will be Collingwood next year. I can’t see it working with MM but if they can make it work...

The Commission appoints the CEO and more than that, the CEO that they want and who will follow their general thrust or direction. AD probably doesn't believe what he says about tanking but he can hardly come clean and say they just don't care. The priority pick system and the consequent...

It's good to win. It's better to win against Carlton. It is fantastic to make them look 3rd rate and shut them up. I struggle to believe how good they really think they are. 1 quality forward, a couple of quality mids and a young ruckman who we should move Heaven and Earth to try and poach...
