How can you even compare Riccuito with Buckley?

Bucks has won every individual AFL award, except for winning a Premiership medallion up to date. Also, Bucks has been a real champion for Collingwood through the good and the bad times.

It is really laughable how only Adelaide Supporters (Riccuito plays for the club) and Carlton Supporters (They never give respect for our players anyway) have voted for Riccuito, while most supporters from other clubs have voted for Buckley.

Buckley > Riccuito. The real truth does hurt Adelaide supporters.
 
how can u tell which clubs supporters have voted for which player?

Just because they didnt post in here doesnt mean they voted for one or the other dumbass.

When I posted this originally, I thought it would be academic that Bucks would be a mile in front. We are talking about a bloke who has been tagged more heavily then any other player over the last 12 years. When comparing stats, Bucks is a mile ahead and has played 30 less games. His skill level is also much better then the Roo. I think if Bucks had Macleod, Edwards, Goodwin and Johnson playing with him he would have been even better. I can only put this down to an anti Collingwood sentiment or lack of care factor from non Pie/Crow supporters. In all reality, Bucks is a whole echelon above the Roo.

Correct but there are some people who just cant bring themselves to vote Buckley. Sad really.

On weight of honours and the limited statistical evidence I've provided Buckley shades Ricciuto all up.

But both are all-time greats, no question.

Well done. I bet your fellow adelaide supporters wont be happy ;)
 
Both great players ... but different styled players.


For mine though I wouldnt have hesitated to take Buckley in his prime. I just think he had that little more polish (ie kicking skills - Buckley drills them and is precise, Roo always seemed a bit up and under).... and the fact that statistically he would slightly surpass Roo.

If you think Adelaide Fans and Carlton Fans are the only two clubs that have voted for Riccuito, then you are living a world of fantasy. NEWSFLASH! Collingwood are the most feral and hated team in the AFL.

So your admitting that this poll is a farce because people vote on players they like. Thanks fryingpan :)

Could someone find the statistics for when both have played midfeld because Buckley started his career on a wing and Ricciuto started in the back pockett
Under robert Shaw Ricciuto's role was as a enforcer not a ball winner so that would effect the stats too, it wasnt until Blight came along that Ricciuto was unleashed as a ball winner.

Look at the Poll.

While you're at it, look at the ladder.

Oh and the premiership trophies you have won over the last 10 years.

:D

Show some respect, we are the Collingwood football club and have been around a lot longer than you. As an Adelaide supporter, you should be full of admiration respect for our great club and one of our greatest players. Don't let me see this rubbish writtten by you again.

Moron, Buckley played half his career on the half back flank, under Tony Shaw whats your point? This is rediculous, I can't believe even the most biased of the feral Adelaide supporters could possibly believe that Riccuito has been the better player than Buckley over their careers. You all must be living in fairyland.

Now come on. You know it has been proven over the years that Collingwood is and always will be the biggest ferals in the competition.

Absolutely, your last post was childish and immature, much like your football club.
