Resting Buckley?

[Stoles]

Now that Nathan Buckley is set to play against the Power on Friday night, is there any chance of him being given a rest before the end of the season or has Collingwood given up on that plan?

Play Bucks, play your strongest team possible and make sure you flog the F#ckin Power turds for us !!!!

Does your weekend revolve around Port getting beaten or watching your own side win? It sounds like you have a really exciting life.


I hope Buckley plays because he is such a great player to watch when he is in form.

I wouldn’t rest him. Maybe give him light training duties and use him sparingly in the last 2 weeks if we can afford to but unless he is carrying an injury he should play.

Hopefully he gets a rest this week... OR we can finish top 4 and he gets a rest 2nd week of finals

Its the serious time of year. None of that resting crap needed.

Yes. We have to do everything we can to make the top 4 and win in week 1. Then everyone gets a rest. If we miss out on that a week off for Buckley will amount to bugger all impact on our flag chances when it is all said and done.

This was the time to rest him, but the 2 losses in succession, and a top 4 spot still up for grabs, it seems we can't do it.
