Is Buckley A Good Match-Day Coach?

Nope also we lost it at match selection playing to many passengers

It almost was. Tommy Hafey’s wasn’t good enough either. Luck plays a major part at Collingwood.
The guy deserves respect, just because he was appointed by Eddie, doesn’t mean he deserves to be crucified with him. Maybe not the best analogy given it’s Good Friday tomorrow.

we not forget about bucks saying he took a step back that year. I think that was the difference and because they did so well I feel like his his obsession for a premiership took back over. Because we play like we did pre 2018.

The coaching feels okay at the moment, the reality is we have a lot of average players in the side.

Going better than I thought we might.

I whish he'd take a lot more than 12 step back

So after 10 years, the coach isn’t responsible for continuing to pick so many average players?

He can only pick what’s available, they gave the rest away.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Tonight is on the players, in front all night yet could not control the footy in the last 2 mins. The coach has no impact this late in a game.

It’s possible for both our list management and Buckley’s selection to be sh*t.

And that possibility is the reality in which we live

 

[eddiesmith]

He can only pick what’s available, they gave the rest away.

So you’re claiming the coach has no say in who we gave away? Had no say in the refusal to recruit a single key forward in the last 10 years?

Like the Late 90 SIdes. Good Top End but Little depth in the AFL Side

 

[eddiesmith]

Yet it’s not the first time we’ve blown a similar game, seems the game plan has never changed no matter how often it fails?

 

[AndrewShawble]

Well, there is a selection committee. It isn’t just one person.

The drafting up forward has been horrific for many years and it shows. Backline great, mids solid, forwards our weakest area and failed to be addressed.

What a surprise to see the pommy git.

Then don’t play them. He is responsible for the team that is put out on the field

What a surprise to see you continuing to celebrate mediocrity. You must actually be a Carlton fan, no one is happy seeing their side always losing!

Which appears to be the coaches plan. He drove away our best key forward this century. But we won’t be fixing it anytime in the next 7 years.

True. But he has raised a group of bed wetters.

I’m not prepared to say that, however all I will say is that he’s only one vote in a critical decision making process.

Would explain the arrogance

 

[AndrewShawble]

We have nothing to show for 5 years of 1st round picks, completely burnt them - Treloar x2, Beams, Stevo.

We have a list that needs a refresh again.

Hine should be moved on, Buckley is coaching with what we have at the moment - a player drafted from the VFL where he was a fullback and an American as our key forwards.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Which appears to be the coaches plan. He drove away our best key forward this century. But we won’t be fixing it anytime in the next 7 years.

Im not saying Buckley doesn’t have a hand in this, I’m saying he’s coaching okay considering the team on the park.

How many goals did Cloke kick for the dogs?

 

[eddiesmith]

I’m not prepared to say that, however all I will say is that he’s only one vote in a critical decision making process.

He’s also the head of the decision making process

But it was always destined to fail, all recent premiership coaches have learnt under successful coaches at other clubs, yet Buckley hasn’t been outside Collingwood.

You must actually be English.

How times have changed when someone who actually wants success is called English!
