Not only that we have the worst Inside 50 conversion from ANY team since Champion Data started recording stats.

Alarm Bells?

Naaaa.. it's all fine!.. Nothing to see here.

Bucks deserves another contract, just need another 5 year plan.

Anyone know the direct e-mail address for Gary Pert.
If I did I'd be using it myself. I did send him an email via the info email. Though it was responded to immediately and other departments were consulted to secure the information, I doubt that Gary Pert was actually asked. The inquiry concerned viagogo and why GP was personally involved in promoting it.
 
Truly sucks the life out of supporters (paid up Member in this case) that we've got another 18 rounds of this tripe.
I am now rather glad to be heading overseas for 3 months on May 6 just to get away from the football grind. I will still watch matches and follow bigfooty, but not with the intensity I do back home.
 
He got us into this mess and he can get us out!

Yeah that stat shows it's clearly a personnel issue. Our players are useless spuds who can't kick. Nothing to do with the set ups the coach runs. Elliot, Moore, Fasolo, Greenwood, WHe and White are clearly unskilled hacks and the worst forwards at converting chances in champion data history. All we need to do to turn this around is get Bucks to politely ask the forwards to please kick it between the big stick thingys.
 
You seem to just want to character assisinate me to lend weight to your argument.. seems to go unnoticed.. but when i attempt it right back at you I'm the guilty party.

You have yet to say one bad word about him that i can recall.. i have praised him at times.. so I'm not entirely a Buckley basher.. you seem to love him unconditionally. Good/bad.. you seem to treat him like he's your own son.

It does get noticed but due to political considerations.........umm yeh

Her argument is ridiculous and flawed to put it lightly.
 
Counting down the days until this bloke is gone, haven't been so disinterested with Collingwood since well ever.

We are ony a couple of rounds away fom Bucks doing what Shaw did in his final year. Help get the kids we rate to 50 games as quick as possible. Moore, Maynard, Phillips, Daicos, Brown, Crocker, McClarty, Sharenberg, Ramsey etc. If it is a 50/50 just pick the kid.

Forget dropping Moore to keep in White. That does nothing. Play him at CHB if required but just get games into kids like him. We have neither the coaching ability, game plan or list to do anything else at present.

People bag Tony Shaw as a coach and whenever he says anything negative about the club but that bloke owes our club nothing. He was a gem on field and did the right thing in his final coaching year despite being told he was being sacked for MM. I hope that will be Bucks' legacy in his final year as coach.
 
Wayne Carey pretty spot on in his little snippet in the HUN today.

Collingwood is only all about pressure.

Yet, pressure is not a game plan.
It's not a style.

So what the hell is our style?

There isn't one.
Because the only thing you hear from our players, coaches and then filtering down to our ill-informed supporters is the buzz words of "pressure, heat, tackles".

It's laughable, yet still makes me want to cry.
 
This thread is not a pleasant read ATM, for obvious reasons, but the topic is Bucks, and not other posters, nor the posts of other posters (if that makes sense).

Please try and keep to the topic.

Did lol, but it's pretty baffling that guys like Moore and Fasolo seem to have lost confidence in themselves with set shots. They've both been dead-eyes in from of goal in 2016 and now neither seems to want to kick a set shot. You can see it in their eyes when they're setting up. Will give Elliott a reprieve given he's one game back, but at this point the only player I have confidence in with set shots is WHE.

Have a look at the top, Seedsman liked this post so he would have a fair idea. I don't get how Bucks and co think there is no need more motivating players and giving direction.
It's been a constant bug bear of mine about Buckley for a long time. Motivating your players is an integral part of being a coach, I don't see why he thinks a team he coaches or his role as a coach should be any different.
 
It would be great to see Ed sneak a coffee break in with Clarko down Chappel st.. where's the paparazzi. F give it to me please!
To me this tells you everything about why Collingwood have been mediocre since 1958. We will get yesteryears best coach, we won't risk a young turk, because our ego won't let us. We'll get Clarkson or Roos and spend another 5 years wandering somewhere between 12th and 6th. Be brave Ed, get a hungry innovative coach. Hawthorn did it. The bulldogs did it. If we get Clarkson it'll be Pagan/Barassi/Norm Smith all over again. Get somebody new.
