There are of course exceptions to the rule.. some folk are born geniuses. Maradona.. Alex Ferguson.. Ronaldo.. Me. Just the way it is.

Really, by the way how old is a Collingwood senior citizen supporter

Just offloaded a gorilla on that as well without looking at the odds I'm that confident..

Buckley press conference will do that to anybody.

Where did they fall too? in 2011-12-13-14?

Sure they fell as did many teams have but to rebound like that, basically with the same list that was lower down is my point. We have probably had more top picks than them in the same time and look where we sit it points all in the same direction

Yep.. gifted politician that he is. I'm gonna offload a gorilla on Buckley to be the next prime minister as well. VOTE 1 Nathan Buckley - Slogan (No experience - Golden handshake from Ed)

They finished 13th, 15th, 15th and 14th in the same time period we finished 2nd, 4th , 6th and 11th. Their draft picks over the period were much better. In every season over that period they picked ahead of us - in some cases by a significant margin. If we got higher picks we had to trade out to get them - that's the price you pay for success.

Yep. And that's why cool heads must prevail. Cutting off our nose to spite our face has never worked. It won't now. If things continue their downhill spiral, Bucks will pull the pin. Game over.

Maybe they can put a TAB machine in the coaches box.

You're pro Buckley.. i would offload a gorilla on you being 55+ yrs of age. I bet I'm right. That there is genius.

You realise I didn't even look at your profile.. I just knew.. am I lying? No. How many gorillas would you have offloaded if your bet was 'I lied'.

Am I ?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Am I ?

Difficult to say.. I think you're quite close though. 45-50 thereabouts.

Nah you just looked at my age on my profile, then posted, so can say look at me, how good am l, as for bucks he is the coach and that it, same with mm and it will be the same if and when we get a new coach.
If people want to froff about it, fine. Do not see the point though

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Am I ?

You have referred to Buckley as having done 'ok'.. you make references to Barassi and Norm whatever from Melbourne. So I'm thinking you're definetely not in your 30s. 50 thereabouts.

I actually did not look at your profile. That's the truth.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

And am I pro Buckley?

Well you did refer to him as being 'ok'.. so you're close to 50.. 55.. somewhere thereabouts. Definetely not a tacker. It's just a common trend i find.. senior citizens are pro Buckley. Just find that fascinating.

That's fine.
Us oldies as you like to put it, have seen the club a lot lower than this.
I don't see the need to panic yet. I love the club and the game,
Disappointed in losing, but also believe we are not that far away

I'm pro Buckley. Guess my age.

Does it matter?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

I haven't really seen you post much.. but i think you're taking the mickey.. so you're 25-35.

Maybe some of the people you perceive as being "Pro Buckley" simply have seen it all before. Maybe they know that everything is cyclical and they've seen the club on its knees and close to being insolvent, maybe they've lived through glory days and days of absolute embarrassment, maybe they actually believed the Rolling Stones when they said you can't always get what you want, maybe they value grace under pressure, maybe they recognise that you have to dig a hole before you build a skyscraper, or maybe they're Russian hackers sent to install Buckley as Coach, derail the AFL and make British Bulldog the national game plan for all AFL clubs.
Maybe they aren't pro Buckley at all. Maybe they're just patient. The earth is slow but the Ox is patient...some zen master said that once.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

Does it matter?

Not at all.. those who are 55+ generally are pro Buckley. Just an observation.

I'm indebted to my father for living.. but indebted to you for living well.

Well said.

Total respect.

I want the pies to win, I want kicking efficiency, I want the scorline in goals to be 20-0, I hate Carlton, Brisbane even worse, Cats and Hawks ditto. Dont mind Dogs I reapect history. I love Bucks and it really really really hurts me to say he needs to move on and I will still love him. I am depressed and I also barrack for Parramatta. I need to watch Insight.
