11th in 1999 to 5th in 2000 back in the top 4 by 2004. Obviously the bloke could coach. Buckley hasn't done anything to prove that to any collingwood fan
Ok

Keep losing Hawthorn.. Clarkooo.. cmoooooooon down...
Why, shouldn't he be doing all those things a good coach does? After all a good coach wins games not players.
In all seriousness, I didn't rate either team at the beginning of the year. Two standout GWS and Adelaide, the rest will just make up the 8 this year.

We can't go on facts or nous with Bucks, we need to go with sentiment and remember he speaks really well.

You don't seem to absorb much of what I post as I dare you to find anything I have posted about romanticizing or being infatuated about Buckley the player.

In fact it may be you and you thinking of him as FIGJAM that may have clouded your perception.

He's a shit coach.. shit game plan.. and youre telling me once the whistle blows.. its up to the players? What kind of rubbish is that. How can you say that when the players are trying to execute a game plan that's totally shit. You put the blame on the players?

I can post it very easily as I believe it. See ball, get ball, pass ball onto team-mate. or see ball that opponent has, tackle, block for team-mate, challenge, get ball and so on and on.
 
Pies have had a good preseason decent run with injuries, that 5 year excuse can't be used this year.

This aint the Hafey era. Seriously.

I suggest you read up on 'the influence of a coach on a player and a team'.. very easy if you google it.

There's a hell of a lot of literature you can read on the topic.. Its not as simple as that.

The coach is the leader. The leader is shit.. you can have a group of lions led by a sheep.. you'll find a group of sheep led by a lion will win.
 
Can Gary Pert just seriously STFU?!

We don't need you to defend and suggest our pick up in Mayne will be "vindicated" when it's clear he isn't in our best 22 and is just about finished as a footballer.
$2m over 4yrs- I can see why you want to vindicate but just stop.

He then goes on to talk about finals and that it is still realistic.
Every time this guy opens his mouth it's so far fetched from reality that it is embarrassing.

Let's hope he has the balls to make the tough call to sack the coach and "speak his mind" then.
 
No what I am saying is that I truly believe that once players walk onto a field it is up to them, not the coach. If all the right things have been done leading up to a game.
Of course there are bad coaches but don't believe that Buckley is one of them.
If you're judging him on his record then you'd have to say he certainly isn't a good coach.
