Me too.

I predicted years ago that Buckley would one day become a Premiership coach ... just not with Collingwood.

If Buckley coached Carlton to a Premiership it would make it very very difficult being a Collingwood supporter.

Some massive irony if he takes over NM at some stage and leads them to a flag after knocking them back in 93.

Anywhere but Carlton Bucks.

If he wins a flag I will be genuinely happy for him. But will obviously be hard to swallow if it is Carlton or a club with flags in double figures. I think it’s possible to feel both at the same time.

What would be a massive irony is if Collingwood won the 2021 Premiership ...

... They play out of their skins and win Monday for Bucks, then come back after the bye with Grundy and Adams back. Howe comes back shortly afterward, McCreary, Poulter and Bianco continue their stratospheric development ...

... and we win every game for the rest of the season.

Sure, that’s **extremely** unlikely, but here we’re looking for a definition of “massive irony” :D

I remember waking up the next day after a Collingwood game and being excited to grab the stats at the back of the morning paper. Buckley was always top of the disposal count and it reinforced my love and adoration for him. I wore his number on my back with pride. He seemed bigger than life. A herculean that just carried the team every week.

Goodbye Bucks. Its been a great ride.

You’ve embodied the spirit of CFC and will forever be carved into the history books.

Floreta Pica.

Remember when he was switched onto Carey at the 'G' and gave him a bath?

He was a titan.

You did 76. And I remember being a bit shocked, so confident was I of Bucks achieving the ultimate success with us.

But if it happened at Carlton…

Gut wrenching hearing Eddie almost breaking down talking about Bucks

I’ve been very critical of Ed in the last couple of years, but he spoke very well on AFL360. Thanks Ed

1996 and Rocca kicked 10 - I remember the way he was spoiling Carey that day and it was as hard as you'd see to dislodge the ball from Carey's mitts

Is that you Daisy? How about we just wish him all the best in whatever he decides to do.

I wish you the best Bucks in whatever you decide to do.

I still think you’re a very average coach.

Couple of nights ago Robbo was saying how brilliant Buckley was for teaching these lads all about the defensive side of the game.. how it will hold them in good stead in the yrs to come.. how to fight and scrap and win games.. hard.

Tonight.. 'They made the right decision'.

UNBELIEVABLE this bloke.

As you know Gimp, Slobbo doesn’t have a very high IQ.

Robbo didn’t like being teased about his Zoom mare today.
It was hailing...it was hailing!

He did.

Should be sacked by Fox.

It’s a tough one. He clearly needs help ...

... but he’s not going to get that unless he puts his hand up and recognizes that himself ...

... or, as you say, somebody else makes a tough decision for him.

Sad situation really.

I don’t find it sad. He’s an incompetent fool. Why Fox would want him is beyond me.

I actually agree with you on something. Oh dear, what is this world coming too? Lol

I promise you, I’m normally a raging capitalist ...

... but in this case every viewer surely recognizes that he’s got a problem. Fox can’t be oblivious to it, it’s clearly impacting his work, it’s been happening over a long period of time ...

... so under those circumstances they do have a moral duty of care IMO.
