Are you someone who believes that pressing the button a million times at the pedestrian crossing makes the lights change faster?

Doesn't make them change faster but it helps pass the time while you're waiting for them to change

It also annoys the crap out of people standing nearby

Are we all bored waiting for the Emperor to announce his decision?

He likes to think of himself as an emperor. If Stuart Dew or Brett Ratten arent named Collingwood coach then I am done with him.

Preferably Dew.
Or Bassit.
Better again Caracalla..
But hey..this is Collingwood.
(We'll probably go for some big name)

That never works. You have to really hurt the button if you want it to get the message to hurry it's arse up. I usually go for a Jean-Claude spineroony side kick followed by a swinging back hander and full head-butt combination which seems to work a treat.

He just slowly watched us lose today. Didn't man up Geelong's extra defender even when we needed to try win the game, another game that could have gone our way with a better coach. He has no plan B when plan A is shut down.

 

[jscan]

We should give him another year though right?, we are on the right track.

 

[biggiemediums]

I said it in gameday. Next week will be the last Buckley coached game i watch. If he's coach again next year than I will schedule work every game.

I can't do it anymore. I don't like the bitter taste I get every weekend.

 

[Matt_352]

Seriously if that isnt the final nail in the coffin.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Even Brisbane play a better style then us Carlton probably have a worse style then us

 

[jscan]

Need to crowdfund and run ads against "The Collingwood Establishment" who want to re-sign Buckley for another disastrous year.
We can't have them cut a closed door deal to save face and the feelings of this guy.

But it's not Nafe's fault, you know, injuries, the fans, the media, the players not kicking straight, the umps, Robbo, Carro.

All he needs is another 5 years.

After all, the players are playing for him, right?

The opposition spare defender has been Bucks nemesis for years. He either has no idea how to overcome it. Or is to stubborn to stray from his original plans. Yet again it was his & our undoing. Time for somebody new in 2018.

Yep, and this was for the whole last 15 minutes.

... another game that could have gone our way with a better coach. He has no plan B when plan A is shut down.

This.

Our Plan A works sometimes - like when we can get almost all our first 22 on the park, and the opposition are crap - but if it comes down to the nitty gritty, our players can't or won't play the ways Bucks seems.to want them to play, and this is the ONLY way Bucks seems to want them to play.

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

Tom Phillips did have a shocker today, but this is the end of his first full season playing in the 1's, and he is clearly in need of rest. He's worked his arse off this year, and shown some good signs. He deserves to be cut some slack.

Exactly - in a cut throat competition Buckley's feelings are irrelevant - as a matter of fact so are the Emperor"s - never again should the president be so emotionally invested in the coach - need a few degrees of separation to enable objectivity

Sadly the losses barely affect me any more

I say before every game "I don't care if we win or lose any more". Then as soon as the first whistle sounds I find myself caring haha. It sucks.
