Probably because he's just signed a 1 year extension DVB. I still think he deserves to be put under the microscope, but Collingwood aren't exactly going to move him on.
If the Pies finish bottom 4 (unlikely the amount of poor teams in the league right now) he is definitely 100 % out of Collingwood.

Ironically Buckley's malaise at Collingwood strikes me as similar to MM's at Carlton, an inability to connect with his players on a human level.

Travis Cloke being a prime example of being a much harder working player who get better results when Mick was coach

Media appear to sense that stories about Collingwood and Richmond will be where the action is this year...made me smile reading this piece of nastiness- for once not directed at Carlton. I get the feeling Bolton has more media on side than off side these days - a first for Carlton in how many years? Worst case scenaio we are looking at as Carlton supporters - is one of these sides doesn't make teh eight - best case is both miss...


can you imagine the knives that will be out by July ...?:D

I think as well, we've come clean this year, 'rebuilding' no bull, no expectation, unlike other years With stupid slogan and crap that was spun.

Hardwick and Buckley can cop the heat...Collingwood are in deep crap IMO as for Richmond well good for a larf

Yep Mark LOG must be commended for everything he has done since mid last year when he announced the rebuild, it became clear to everyone, supporters, media, sponsors etc what our plan was and to give us space and time to put in place. Every decision we have made since has reflected this, from bringing in SOS, Getting an untried coach in Bolton, Our trades and de-listings.. Still if we are sitting 10 - 0 and are routinely beaten by 10 goals then pressure will build but for now I am happy with the media just mentioning how good our kids are playing.

So Port are playing for Premiership points in China next year, actually hope its us that are fixtured to play them over there, aside from the International Coverage our club would get, I hate Adelaide Oval, we always get smashed playing there, playing it at an International venue evens the game up somewhat (Port are overrated imo)
