Recruitment horrible. Mayne wtf?
Drafting terrible. Besides Grundy who was the last decent player we drafted
Player development. Who has got better developing under Bucks? elliot, Grundy? Thats about it.

Not just the coach i agree but Bucks has a big hand in it

Then the recruiters, the scouts, the strength & conditioning staff, VFL coach, assistant coaches & specialised developmental coaches all need to be looked at too.

Buckley is the coach yes so he should be overseeing these things, but footy departments are complicated these days, if kids are getting injured, not developing into mature AFL players and what not, it's not just Bucks fault.

For a very wealthy club their management is amateurish.

To have a fanboi as president incapable of making tough decisions on his hero must be infuriating for fans
And a media that largely doesn't hold that president to account... in part because he works with most of them!
 
If the Pies get spanked by 60+ on the night they are meant to be honoring Lou not even Eddie could save Bucks
Won't happen there'll be a dead cat bounce in the second half to lose by a 'respectable' 5-6 goals, which would see him hang in there for another week or so. Reckon it'll happen after QB, Max Gawn is possibly on track to return for that game and Higan is apparently recovering well too, hoping that we can dish out some of the pain we were on the end of for the last decade and kick Bucks out the door.

Basically Collingwood have wasted 6 years with Buckley. They went from being a premiership team to needing a full rebuild and it was not because they got to old, no it was because players fled the club not wanting to play under him, because Buckley is terrible at recruiting as he always recruits the same sort of player and because Buckley just doesn't seem to have a proper understanding of how to create a gameplan.

Eddie made the call to push a flag winning coach out the door because he was desperate to have Mr FIGJAM as coach, they lose this (their second milestone match in three weeks) and he's under serious pressure too. He's invested his political capital in Buckley and it's a busted flush, doubling down with a contract extension when Buckley was taking the list backwards is what will seal Eddies fate when they sit down to the end of year review
