Mega Thread Buckley Contract extension

They threw absolutely everything at a depleted GWS and Buckley coached ok, and they still lost. Fact is their list just isnt very good.

This. No coach is taking that mid table group any where.

Regardless the potato should have been peeled and boiled long ago. Just sayin'

This...pies are a mediocre team

Buckley aint the problem, it is an administration who are more interested in netball and a recruiter who is still dining out on taking Pendles.

You're a silly poster. Stay on the Carlton board.

That's unreasonable

A heath Shaw at the back and they would have won

Brown, frost and Shaw were - are good enough for the basis of a good back line, certainly able to ensure a game like today was a win.
Buckley and co have screwed us over

 

[PieLebo87]

That's unreasonable

The same group has matched it with almost every side it has played this year but hasn't been able to string it together for 4 quarters and falls at the last hurdle in a handful of games. Obviously the cattle is there for that to happen. Your comment would make sense if we have been getting belted every week. It's purely a strategy/game plan issue or a coaching issue. In patches, Collingwood has looked well and truly a top 8 side.

They do it in patches because they're not good enough to do it permanently.

Buckley is an ordinary coach but a better one wouldn't extract that much more. Definitely not a top 4 list.

This is why I posted the first comment. You've got no clue about Collingwood's list if that's your view.

Yeah, he has to go. But if I was a Collingwood fan I wouldn't expect a new coach to launch them to top 4.

Prepare to be disappointed then when you pay Clarkson/Roos 2mil a year to take you to 9th.

Agree to disagree, buddy.

 

[PetterdHoisted]

4 more losses and it is done, Bucks held Mick to his word, expect Bucks to keep his and walk as soon as 10 losses are registered.

Nowhere near a top 4 list.
Not even a top 8 list.
Doesn't matter who's coaching Collingwood.
They are where they deserve to be.

It will not happen, but I pray to the footy gods for just one thing.

In round 10 on the MCG, the Brisbane Lions defeat Collingwood by 10 goals and send Eddie into such a spiral of despair that he sacks Buckley on the spot on the ground after the game.

The team that Buckley abandoned to chase a premiership not only won three flags within Buckley's career including GF wins against Buckley himself but then put the final nail in the coffin of his coaching career. A coaching career in which he tried to chase a flag on the coat-tails of one of the great coaches of the 90s and naughties. Chasing yet another flag that vanished like fairy floss in the ocean.

The football gods must do this.

But remember he was gifted a brownlow and a norm smith, he would still tell you he is that good, probably even too good for the competition in playing or coaching form

My thread questioning Chris Scott's tenure at Geelong was quickly deleted, however death-riding Buckley's career is practically a national pastime at the moment. Give the guy a break.

I'd just like to take some time to say thank you to all the Collingwood supporters who visited our game day thread and decided to be keyboard warriors. Well, good teams find a way to win against the odds and that's what we did today. Enjoy the next decade down the bottom of the ladder.

One of the most accurate actually. Norm Smith was a joke it was Voss by a mile. Could only share a brownlow when all he did was the flashy look good stuff rather than team stuff..

 

[Orange Agent]

Did he really say post match that he expects the team will play finals?

Well you just exposed yourself as having NFI.

Good one.

Good to see you're out of your shell. Been a good 12 years, enjoy finishing 8-10. You deserve it.
