Why was Buckley smirking and laughing about it then. Laughing it off, he's the coach.
Because it was awkward timing to be asked, given that's the only story he had at the time. Like I said, he couldn't really say "I'm not sure" or it would've been a lot more awkward.

Perhaps he could have just said "At the moment we are seeking more clarification of how Jordan injured his hand. I don't have enough detail to make a statement about it at the moment."

Because he wants to annoy people on big footy
At the time he didn't need to seek clarification because the player had told him to his face what had happened. Bucks gets it hard enough without a player putting him in such a terrible position.

I'm not blaming him.. he was put in a position he shouldn't have been and answered the question honestly. But perhaps given that he suspected the answer he was conveying was false; he should have stalled and said he needed more clarification before he could answer it. That would also be telling the truth and it would have avoided the lie mess which has been the really damaging part. Just a better way of handling it in retrospect.
A easier to say in hindsight. Wasn't to know that the story was a lie, as unbelievable as it may have been.

37 or 38 pages about the De Goey incident and still counting. I'll add to it too I guess
You'd think he's become a serial killer or stolen babies or something by the level of attention this has created. In saying that though, he did bring it all on himself. It's no one else's fault except his own. People on here trying to blame culture of the coach or the President or anyone else at the friggen club is just idiotic and need to pull their heads out of their arse!
A 21 year old made a stuff up which has happened forever and a day and will continue to do so. He made an error of judgement by lying to the club. Hard lesson for Jordy to learn but it is a lesson he shall learn or risk being banished from the club at season's end.
There doesn't have to be something wrong with the culture at the club or the trust in the coach for Jordy to not tell the truth. He just thought he could get away with lying and covering up the truth, stupidly I might add. He just simply lied and thought he could get away with it. Nothing more to see here.
Punishment is right because it's brought all this negative attention on the club and Bucks and of course it's completely unnecessary.
If Jordy had his time over again, I'm sure he would just tell it like it happened and face the music.
Now, bring on round 1 FFS! Lets talk about footy, enough of the bloody scandals!

It would make his apology a hollow one.

Agreed, with the attention this is getting you'd think a up and coming star player got blind drunk and got into a pub fight a week before the season starts !
Can't imagine that happening at our club though.
Problem with that is, let's say De Goey WAS telling the truth...if Bucks was then to say to the media he's not sure and seeking clarification, after De Goey had told him straight up to his face, he's basically telling De Goey he doesn't believe him...which would offend De Goey in this scenario.
No problem with Bucks trusting his player and backing him in.
Real lose-lose situation for Buckley and not his fault since he should never have been in that position.

People laugh for lots of reasons. Embarrassment, discomfort, anxiety, uncertainty are among them.
Agree completely. The club is obliged to treat their players with respect and expect that respect back in return.
The club made no mistake in managing this situation. De goey has learnt a valuable life lesson just like Heath shaw did before him when he got sprung telling porkies.
Hmm hang on let me think about that last sentence....
I don't want a coach suffering from anxiety or embarrassment and or uncertainty. Doesn't reflect well.
You don't want a human being for a coach??
It's not whether you feel those emotions but how you manage them when you become aware of them that counts.

Someone who can manage players would be a nice start.
It's not what you said. Good try though.
