Buckley will be re-appointed.

Because Eddie McGuire.

If Buckley is let go, it's an ommission of fault on McGuire's decision to let go of Malthouse. I believe McGuire is too full of self-pride.
I wouldnt be surprised one bit if this happens. Hes at fault and he knows it. Sometimes he looks embarrassed at how crap we are.

Is this just speculation that we're losing a lot of cash, or based on evidence? I understand that membership is down. Is there more?

Don't get me wrong, I want Bucks (and McGuire tbh) to be gone. I just don't feel as c
onfident as some.
Crowd Number keep getting Smaller and funny how we have not heard the Membership Numbers Yet

That's probably stretching a little far, Hazard a guess; it looks externally that bucks has the group by and large behind him. If they weren't they probably wouldn't comment publicly at all or if door stopped they'd say something like "that decision lies with the board at seasons end and I'm behind him" IMV a comment like that is a fair way off what JDG and Pendles said
Just wait until they retire and write a books, become commentators, article writers etc then the truth will probably come out about how most of them thought he was clueless, had no game plans that worked, picked wrong players while playing favourites and was on borrowed time for the past 2 years.

It's a small industry, you don't shit where you eat.

Im not so sure about it. He should have been sacked 2 or 3 years ago and was given extensions for no reason other than being Nathan Buckley. The right call was to delay the succession plan to begin with and that was stuffed up as well courtesy of some bs contract and the name Nathan Buckley.
Please, Krueger, just stop. You were wringing your hands back in 2012.

With Stories of Pendles and Ben Reid UnRest. Has Bucks FINALLY lost the Players?
Dave, I did a search in Twitter and got nothing. Are you talking about unrest between Pendles and Reid or Pendles and Reid unrest concerning Buckley? Or Buckley's unrest with........oh shit I've confused myself.

In this instance I don't actually care if you agree because you're the one with the issue. It also had nothing to do with Buckley and everything to do with the immaturity of JDG's comments. You missed that. Move on!
I normally move on after a post, no point in hanging around beating the same drum.

Yeah, Swan's book was about as explosive as cap gun. If anyone was going to have a crack in a book, it would have been him. Don't hold your breath.

Can you read what i wrote? I didnt want him as coach in 2012 correct but as he did become coach and failed year after year i said he should have been sacked 2-3 years ago and not received extensions then.
And I'm telling you to stop because you were pissing and moaning and wanting him gone before then.

Pendles, Treloar, Adams, Fasolo & Grundy have also come out recently and backed Bucks... & I think it was all genuine.

Maybe theres more under the surface, or maybe all the love in the world wont change our fortunes, but our list and player development are the two big issues for me... its the club's job to identify who or what is responsible for that, and how best to rectify it.
