A 5 year could have coached that side to a flag.
I always say this. He is an average coach. Geelong in 2011 implemented and still do implement Bomber Thompson’s strategy using their list built by Stephen Wells.

Yep.
I hung s**t on Bucks.
Hand is up.
Who else wants to own up?
Well this thread is gonna be quiet from the haters for at least a few weeks. Always was on Bucks side. Can go through my previous posting if you wanna see.
Nah, we have players players that finally understand it and can carry it out.
Belief. Seen this game plan back a few years ago when we gave the hawks a good run for a half with our reserve team.
We are playing way better then we have for 3-4 Seasons.
Everyone says it's All Buckley but they don't give Credit to our New Assistants deserve some Credit.
Kind of Shows how bad our Old Assistants where
The game plan is totally different this year. Cox is the major key to this. Kick it long to Cox, mids and smalls swarm towards him, its probably better if Cox drops it because the smalls get the ball where the opposition dont have time to zone, forwards swarm towards goal free and get an easy shot. Its so good to watch and it breaks the backline zones. Add to this a defence that is disciplined and not getting kicked over like the last few years and we have made a huge improvement.
This is ALL coaching. The game plan is TOTALLY different to the last few years. its what I have always been saying, this coaching is worth 4 to 5 goals a game. same as Richmond last year, new game plan and you get an improvement of many goals. And we don't have to blame the injured players because injuries were never our problem.
Never said that there was no effort, there was, just there understanding of what was need to carry it out was not there. They till this year always took the safe option. Did not have anough belief to do what there doing now.Strongly disagree with this. The players always believed and always put in effort. The problem was the effort was never rewarded with goals and then the other side would score over the back with ease.

Last year i said who is playing better under Buckley? Now its who isn't.
Id say the whole list bar a select few are having their best seasons. Love to know what went on behind closed doors.
Plus there hasn’t been revolving doors on every line either due to injury or form.Never said that there was no effort, there was, just there understanding of what was need to carry it out was not there. They till this year always took the safe option. Did not have anough belief to do what there doing now.
Sorry for the late reply but it’s been a bit hectic for me the last couple of weeks and the fact that I am now up on cape York where connectivity can be problematic doesn’t help.We'd all rather focus on the forward but the past gets raised and it gets discussed that't the nature of forums and I don't mind discussing the past - makes for conversation.
"sack Bucks, get Stuart Dew" they said..
Food caterers?..or know alls on this forum?In fairness that call was coming from our caterers.
Food caterers, because Dew is fatFood caterers?..or know alls on this forum?

I'd settle with 2 wins to be honest. If we get three we are a real chance for top 4 but I just don't see us there yet.Yes he is coaching better and we are winning the games we have been dropping over the past few years.
However, 2018 is the softest draw we've had in a long time. The group has also played another 30-40 games together. A bunch of players are in best career form and they have a forward line which looks more dangerous than for the past 3-4 years.
I'm keeping my powder dry until after the Ess, WCE, North, Rich and Syd run is over. I'd settle for 3-2 over those 5 games.
