Wow. Interesting, hopefully he gives us something in taking Kings role

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Brilliant appointment!

 

[PzBlinky]

Of all the off-season moves we might and might not have made, this is one I would never have seen coming.

 

[Mattlock]

So so surprised by this! I love it!

 

[CatTricks]

Here to watch the main board melt over this news.

 

[Catman]

Of all the off-season moves we might and might not have made, this is one I would never have seen coming.

Completely shocked me!

Reckon a few years to get back into the coaching groove before heading to Tassie is the plan.

 

[Scorpio]

Interesting. He’s 100% going to be Tassie’s first coach.

I assume that means he’s giving up the media commitments on Fox and SEN

 

[The Unforgiven]

Wow. I did not see that coming. I think that is a fantastic appointment. I really like Buckley. Since watching him on Fox Footy, I've got a lot of respect.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Well, there go our premiership chances....

 

[No Quarter]

Well, there go our premiership chances....

Wow...

Regardless of other acquisitions
We have won the trade period now

Are we putting him in a time machine and de-ageing him 20 years so he can play in the midfield?

 

[Commando]

Fantastic appointment
Will miss him in the media, always complimentary of us

 

[Kobe Gryant]

One of the best footy minds the game has ever seen. The guy can break down gamefilm and statistical relevance like nobody else.

If he has learned how to channel that knowledge a bit better as a "teacher" of sorts than his Collingwood days, it'll be an exceptional pickup.

Hopefully he has, and without the pressures of being the senior coach, it should be a bit easier to be a people person of sorts.

Welcome Bucks!!

Not a few years. Tassie want the senior coach having a role mid next year.
So if he does get the Tassie job this role will definitely be part time.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Good get!

Welcome Bucks

 

[Kitcat]

I reckon our players will look forward to Buckley's input.

 

[Biggy_Boy]

Interesting. He’s 100% going to be Tassie’s first coach.

I assume that means he’s giving up the media commitments on Fox and SEN

Or, what if Chris Scott is thinking of retirement and Bucks takes over top job at Geelong?

We might only have him for one year if he goes to tassie but I think his insights will be really useful for us.

 

[GFrost35]

I didn’t want him to get the Melbourne job as I wanted to keep watching/listening to him in the media. But I’ll take this.

 

[IMCat]

Wow!

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Well, there go our premiership chances....

He won a flag in 2010 as an assistant….

 

[Gee Class Loco]

What a magnificent acquisition...

Only gonna be a benefit to the Team, Players, the Club and the fans.
Just when i thought what do we do from here... BANG!!! Blind sided everyone!!

Makes it an even better appointment!!
The GFC always 3 steps ahead.
