Very difficult to judge Eddie harshly IMO, but i agree with you he did mix business and friendships, but you can guarantee he thought it was the right decision, not just based on friendship but unfortunately in hindsight he will realise it has been a mistake.

He probably thought he was on a roll from a premiership year.

I personally think history will judge him as the greatest Collingwood president ever albeit he moved from Victoria Park, but the positives have far outweighed the negatives.
Complacency is underrated.

When you feel youre a world beater.. and no one can touch you.. they either come after ya.. or wait for you to make silly decisions.

As good as eddie has been.. he's human.. he makes mistakes like everyone else.. i just feel as though he thought everything would fall into place.. goes to show.. there is a job description.. and every criteria needs to be met. Obviously wasn't.. and there's a million of us that have witnessed the shit hit the fan today.

In 2018 under a new coach:

Spread our mids all over the park.. defence midfield and forward.. there's a lot of talent there to exploit.. if it means Smith and Ramsay have to make way for Aish and say Brown.. then do it.

Thats what I'd like to see..

The new coach will have a much better idea of what to do.. the value of each player.

I look at the box i see birdbrains like sando rocca harvey and bucks.. out!!! All of em!!!

It's ironic that you use the term "birdbrain".

Either your trolling or have completely lost your grip on reality. The latter I suspect.
Party time Krueger!!!

Nothing better than celebrating a Collingwood loss with a bit of Buckley bashing. What are you going to do when he does get the arse though???

How great would it be say when David King is doing his analysis on Buckley's tactics to burst out in laughter.. I'd seriously piss myself as well.

It's actually gotten to a point now where I'm just laughing at what Buckley is trying to do. A complete idiot of a coach.

Are you anti or pro Buckley this week jmac?

No party cos the damage was done long ago. To be honest I like many supporters dont give a shit anymore who coaches us. This club is a basket case.

All I know is Buckley destroyed this once great club with his idiotic decisions and lack of coaching talent. He should be held accountable for what he has done and in essence he used this club as his own personal playground for self fulfilment because he never won a flag as a Collingwood player. Its treason.

Buckley has devoted most of his adult life to Collingwood and deserves a little more respect than that.

You're implying malicious intent by Buckley? C'mon, that's a bit harsh, surely?

For all his faults, could hardly accuse him of ill-intent

I do agree that he needs to be held accountable for our performances.

Yeah, looking like you called it. Kudos.

Would you be happy for Buckley to coach out the rest of the season?

I suspect that's what Ed will try to do (it's looking inevitable :( ) but I reckon the best thing will be to move him on.
