I watched this and my first thought was is this how he deals with alternative opinions or questions in the Boardroom? It is not exactly open to views different to your own.
He was extremely defensive and dismissive. He also was not listening when Dermott was trying to ask him a question on behalf of the Collingwood members and he spoke over the top of him. It came across as bullish and not particularly media savvy or respectful of either the questioner or the supporter base.
Making a statement like " we look after our own" just does not ring true with the events of exits over the last few years of players, assistant coaches and dare I say it, certain football managers.
It is absurd to ignore 6 years of declining performance as the leader of it. I like Bucks as a person and a player but as a coach he has not performed over a significant period. Members quite legitimately are asking questions and many supporters are voting with their feet. Buckley should be assessed on his entire tenure and not on 7 weeks.
As for the suggestion that the Board is elected by the members, I have posted on the loophole provision used to work around the need for elections (casual vacancy filled at Board's option and then confirmed at the AGM) in several other threads but clearly an overstatement.
Time for change across all areas of the club.
yeah, my thoughts too,
most people say /act differently in public and private spheres.
at times over the past 19 years the way Mcguire has conducted himself in public and the media, you can only imagine how some of the in house discussions and boardroom meetings at Collingwood have been conducted
