Word I have is fairly strong so we'll see how soon this is done.
Should ruffle the feathers of a few around here..... ;)

The club will be doing a diservice to just give Buckley an extension without a massive review, and options that may be out there. I think the club power brokers will be thinking long and hard tonight.
I was Buckley's harshest critic. But what you wrote is sensationalist shit. The club has come a massive way this year. By playing a team so young, the dip we've had the last few weeks is to be expected. 4 or so players hadn't played more than a handful of games. A lot were under the 50 game mark.

The improvement and development we've had this year has been satisfying. We took it up to Hawthorn and he coached so well against the best team that night. His gameplan nearly brought Hawthorn undone and, I daresay, opposition clubs will be looking to copy it when they play Hawthorn.

Everyone relax and stop being nuffie supporters when we have a loss.

Western bulldogs, St Kilda, GWS and Melbourne have come massive ways this year. Richmond has taken huge steps, we my my friend have stayed the same, as our current form and ability may well see us finish worse than last year. So you tell me the improvement? What l have seen this year is the blooding of a few players who have shown a bit, our disposal be continually woeful, lack of goal kicking power, and a complete breakdown in effort or ability when it counts. Two seasons now where we cannot win games at the business end of the year, show not much improvement to me. We were ranked highly in certain areas / game stats, but that was due to the start we had this year, only again to see a shambolic end to it.

Agree. After 2nd Failed season.

There needs a hard look at the Footy Departnent.

Like what Geelomg did in 2006

It would be beyond foolish to give a guy that's run a team into the ground a contract extension.

It's like rewarding a crap CEO where the stock price has plummeted 80% and the performance of the company is in a downward trend.

We need a turnaround specialist type of coach, not a 'believer' or 'Wannabe' type of guy like Buckley.

Contract extension? More like his contract should be torn up and flushed down the toilet! Rewarding such mediocrity is tantamount to treason! Why should we put up with such bs? This has turned into a personal playfield for a coach whom the club feels deserves success due to past service as a player. Might as well change the clubs name to Buckleywood :$
 
Lol... you said it was the correct decision to re-sign him at the beginning of this thread...

Well the Season went down the Toliet again like last year. Times Changes
 
Don't take this the wrong way but...Make up your mind, not 6 weeks ago you are saying its a good idea. Or do you just go with the popular opinion instead of sticking to your own thoughts?

I say lot of people be exactly the same
 
Extend him for another year, but reassess at the end of next year. At least it would allow us to avoid the toxic media speculation and pressure which is no good for anyone. Lord knows we have the money to cut ties mid contract if required.

He has another year on his Current Contract
 
It's not like any other team is going to poach Buckley, his not a great catch.
Would have trouble giving him away at this rate.
