i was waiting for someone else to do it. Would be excellent it that eventuated.

 

[Grimreepah]

Has Buchanan indicated whether or not he wants to keep coaching?

 

[RoosterLad]

It sounds positive, it would be fantastic if that happened.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

He's exactly the type of coach that the Redbacks don't need.

Buchanan's great at getting even better form out of players already performing at the top of their game. What SA needs is a Simpson-style taskmaster/ballbreaker to whip underachievers like Cosgrove and Cullen into line.

 

[Ghostwriter]

The Redbacks will destroy his reputation.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Id love him to come to SA

 

[Russian]

According to one of the morons running the place, Buchanan isn't interested

 

[metallicamatty]

hope he gets alot out of Cosgrove (Alot of weight ) and Cullen. They both have alot of potential and would be great if he can get that out of them, couldn't of though of a better man to give it to.

 

[Warwick]

I know a couple of members from the Buchanan family - not much chance at all of him moving to SA.

Buchanan is more of a manager than a coach. He helps mould a group of talented performing players into a team.

South Australia need a guy who can teach them skills

Buck doesn't deserve to be associated with our pathetic rabble.

With the small exceptions in Boof, Tait & Dizzy, possibly Adhock & Harris, our team is full of wannabe hacks.

with comments like this (Supposedly from Redback supporter) why would a coach of high quality want to coach a team with fickle suporters that cry for blood every time redbacks play..

the negative influence around the redbacks may be gone from the coaching squad..but remember only Phillips fell on his sword...what about management and selection committee?.. what about junior squad discipline that transends to first team ?.. discipline,routine and direction is needed ..not negative comments..

the team should also repay the support by performing to the best of their ability. Not getting flogged by an innings and then getting drunk. Off field exploits will be forgiven by the supporters when the team is winning but not win it is getting flogged every match

Does John's son Michael still play (rookie?) for the Bulls?

By the sounds of it, he is right into the managing side of things, but I think people assume that's more his role, as opposed to coaching, because he's not a former player.
From what I've seen and heard, he's definitely a full on, hands on coach in every aspect. Gets right into the coaching sessions and obviously, does know quite a lot about cricket.

There are players in the Redbacks who deserve our backing and full support, and they get it.

Then there are players in the Redbacks who have been sucked in by the hype around them and think they are better than they are. There are also players who spend weeknights and weekends getting hammered in city nightclubs, when their form and especially their fitness is massively under-par.

Some Redbacks players treat their teammates and supporters, by their actions and attitude, with contempt.

I'll save my support for people like Gillespie and Boof, who give their all and deserve support.
