Voss is clearly 1, 2 or 3

It's unfathomable the amount of hatred and bias against Buckley on a public forum. Whether it be his playing career or his coaching career.
Is there anyone else people have wished so much evil towards and pleasure when things haven't gone to plan?

Not rating Buckley as highly as Collingwood supporters is not hatred or bias. It is merely opinion.

Having that opinion also doesn't mean any of what I've said isn't true either.

I thought that title went to Paynton Manning.
opps sorry wrong board...... by the way Tommy says hi.
Apologies to those scratching heads ...its an in joke.
Jest aside Voss was the leading Mid in his era.
Yet from 01 -04 earned more HBG then the much more lauded Voss (Buckley was top 5 in AFL over those years), also broke his jaw going into a hardball in a year he would of won the brownlow if not for missing 8 games with it late 90s.
Shows you didn't watch much of Nathan Buckley or you remember him for his first 2 seasons more then the next 10. People loved to hate Nathan and Pies often clouding their view/opinion of him.

Wasn't even the best midfielder in his team.

Must have been a hard gig captaining the Lions team, 3 Brownlow medalists in their midfield, All Australian players on every line, hardly ever getting tagged because you're not the most damaging mid in Your own team etc etc.
Yet, he's appartently a better player and captain than Buckley even though as a player he was statistically inferiour in every area and as a captain he got kissed on tbe dick more than any captain before him.
Just our of curiosity, who captained more finals wins out of the 2? Can't be bothered looking it up but it must have been close.

The bias of Collingwood supporters does not equate to fact.

And if the Lions merger never happened he would've been lucky to have captained one.
Gotta say mate, for someone "unbiased" like your good self you do seem pretty vested in this topic.

Pretty close. Maybe if you take out the Coll vs Briz games it gets closer

Nick Maxwell had captained more finals wins than Buckley. He must be a better player too.Pretty close. Maybe if you take out the Coll vs Briz games it gets closer

Wasn't the one making the captaincy argument, just laughing at it backfiring.
FWIW I have Buckley & Voss in the top 5 easily. Both were good goal kickers & had ability to play forward. Huge asset and advantage to just your standard possession gathering mid.

And this is in the same line as what Collingwood supporters argue with Buckley.
If Hayes was a x1 or x2 Premiership captain, I've got no doubt he'd be viewed as one of the best players in the modern era.
But apparently it's his fault he played in GFs with Brett Peake and Robert Eddy instead of AAs in each line.

He was simply asking the question, and I simply answered it. Not trying to add to any arguments.
There's absolutely no doubt both are champions of the game, it's just unfair to be judging the difference in their inidividual careers by Premierships.
