Mega Thread The 2017 'Buckley's Chances' Thread

[robertg22]

I was. What a fantastic day it was.

Yep same. The second one was better.

Bwhahaha shit I gotta alert opposition supporters to this post of yours. Absolute classic. They'd be in tears of joy laughing at your desperate need to some how boost Bucks record.

It's about premiership points is it. Haha so I guess you'd be happy to draw every game in 2018 and come out with 44 premiership points and another year of missed finals?

45% is still unacceptable. It's like you've just admitted "look guys Bucks is 45% crap, but he ain't 40% crap. No way is he 40% crap. Hang on how can I distract everyone from something as clear cut as winning percentage and flip it around.... hmmm I know premiership points..."

Pure gold Sport. Keep the cycle of spin coming. Just a gift that keeps on giving

hi travvvissss
long time no see
seeing you havnt compared the(requested from you 2 months ago) 2002,2003 lists to the current one , i dont think your ANTI CLUB stance has no merit.Now i know where all busy but you should do your research or Listen and maybe learn something.
for your memory , top 200 players maybe 3 current, 2002 -2003 try 12 obvious entries
maybe a few things to consider as well whilst you compare the lists ( have a look educations great)
1 how many top 5 draft picks does our list have , please compare to other clubs
2. who else gets the shit draw we do
3 the umpiring 3 games this year alone lost due to this imo
4 MRP= last game
now if we won how many more games per year to get satisfaction from you
oh and thanks your posts confirm the importance of a succession plan, as all of them have had that advantage mchale kyne, sutton whitten,cahill,williams,roos longmire,clarkson ,beveridge
i think youre a troll
oh and ours Thank MICKEY BOY for that one
but no you gotta take cheapeys with alist still in development

Well not necessarily as a loss. A draw can be classified as a "non-win" also. He's right in that we've had 8 wins and 12 non wins.

Either way you wanna try and spin it Bucks has a 40% win rate, 55% loss rate and a 5% draw rate from 20 games. Funny how these stats can't be used to prove Bucks is a good coach though.

As you were.

still waiting

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Ratten and Dews management contacting us . Not many things ive wanted more to be true .

I'd be happy with either of them if Bucks goes.

Not sure about Dew as assistant though. Surely his next career move should be to take a senior role not to go sideways as assistant

 

[Mongo Ming]

Geez I thought this was a pretty damning stat from today's Taylor Adams RSN interview AFL story:

"Buckley has won just three of his side's 12 outings on the MCG this season."

When that's your home ground that's horrifying.

Its a neutral venue against Victorian clubs.

From what I've read Dew made a commitment to Sydney as part of his elevation to senior assistant to remain until the end of 2018 and wouldn't be granted or seek a release from his contract unless it's for the position of senior coach.

Makes complete sense to me. People need to drop the "Dew for assistant" line. Hes either senior coach or he stays at the Swans

Id be wrapt for him to take top job in 18

 

[GreekLunatic]

According to the media Bucks might know his future by next Tuesday when we got a board meeting

Everything crossed that he is GONE

 

[Matt_352]

Take Dew or Ratten over bucks any day of the week

 

[frizzle]

Yep same. The second one was better.

Substantially better.

 

[Matt_352]

He is ready to go.

 

[jmac70]

Untried assistants I rate: IN ORDER

Dew, SYD
Caracella, RICH
Lloyd, GEE
Camporeale, ADEL
Nicks, PA
Bassett, PA

What criteria do you rate them on?

 

[Matt_352]

Just articles ive reserched on them mainly

Ok, so what makes Dew better than say Caracella?

 

[Matt_352]

Ok, so what makes Dew better than say Caracella?

I have them pretty much on par. Just my gut feel putting Dew first

Christ, blame everyone & everything expect for ourselves.

This lack of taking ownership for failure is a killer in the sporting world, and a fair representation of the current predicament we find ourselves in now.

Where?

 

[Matt_352]

To coach Collingwood

 

[westozpie]

But you're trying to suggest that an "all about the cattle" argument doesn't incorporate even natural progression of the cattle which is just illogical. Still the same cattle even if they are developed.

I tried too Jackass, would have thought it would go without saying...but

Honest question Matt what are you going to do "if/when" Bucks is signed up again?
