Take a look at the video of the players singing the song after the game. It was certainly sung with a lot of gusto compared to normal. Take a look at the celebrations after Reid's last quarter snap also. Regardless of whether we think the rest of the season is full of junk games or not it's pretty clear the players will take pride winning as many games as possible to round out the year.
For the people that want Buckley gone, as a hypothetical, if the players wanted Buckley to stay, would that change your mind at all? We're all aware that allegedly Buckley was coaching "Mick's boys" at the start of his reign. This might have affected those years somewhat. It's obvious that the results haven't been on the board for the last 4 years but if the players are buying into Buckley's vision and truly believe that finals aren't far away would getting rid of Buckley be a mistake?
FWIW, I'm still on the fence, likely until around 23, and this isn't me trying to make a pro-Buckley case. Just a possible hypothetical situation.
