I agree that our list is sub-par but surely a coach in his fourth year at the helm and largely responsible for our current direction should be held accountable for this???
Disagree mate. Our list has a lot of potential if nurtured properly.
Totally agree with you that Buckley has to take responsability in the fact he decided to rebuild a youthfall team in its premieship window in 2012.
I was supporting Buckley until now. I think if our team does not show improvement at the end of the season he has to get the flick.Let someone else take our young list to the next level.
No one is questioning Buckley's knowledge of the game, however he seems to lack considerably in being a father figure for the younsters, creating a culture were players play for each other as one unit.Developing youngsters and even his strike rate in his selection of recycled players is poor.
These days an afl coach has to be a soccer style manager ie Fergerson, Mourhinio or in the afl Clarkson,.As a manager Buckley has proven to be a very poor man manager.
As a pie fan i hope i am proven totally wrong, but i am a fraid it wont happen.
