I don't know whether this has been posted on here or not yet, but their is a statement on the Collingwood website about the staff changes to our recruiting and coaching departments over the last few weeks.

Anyway, at the end of the article, it states that Nathan Buckley will be returning to the club for pre season training on November 9.

Now that he's officially back, I can be officially excited.

Hell yeah, Bucks you beauty!

 

[Histrionics]

Can't wait to see him doing his thing next year.

Looking forward to him coaching one of the NAB cup games to see how he goes.

Not sure we've done all that well out of WA of late. O'Brien and Wellingham (I think) as rookies but not much else I can think of - particularly through the main draft.

Cheers for that Matty. Really looking forward to his return.

Does anyone know if he's heading to Arizona with the rest of them?

 

[robertg22]

Yeah pretty sure he said he was going to Arizona.

 

[Frankie23]

Ross Gone, Caracella Gone, Lloyd Gone, Scott Gone and in recent memory Richardson gone and McKenna Gone.

What is going on? We carry on that we need to recruit players, let's firstly recruit some bloody coaches!!!

At the moment we have Malthouse, Neeld and Buckley...who else?

All the more power to Buckley when it comes to influencing the club's coaching future.

Nah, he had the AFL shirt on then, was still an AFL official during that week.

Well that's when I saw him interviewed anyway.
