The "how good is buckley?" thread

[LittleSchneider]

Too be honest LittleSchneider I can't see how you can be glad to see an opposition player return no matter how great they are. If we were playing Hird and he had a great game returning from some injury, even if we won, I wouldn't be thrilled.

Cause its good for the game.
So sorry for giving an opposition player praise - geez you people need to lighten up! And may I ask whats wrong with it? Hes a champion of the game and should be respected - no one likes to see a player's career end like that no matter who they play for.
I wont bother next time - you guys just arent worth it.

Iam with LittleSchneider here....yeah if Hird canned our arses again ,like he has more times then I care to remeber, I'd still begrudgingly accept his return.
I think it will be a sad day when the Hird's Kouta's and the Voss 's give it away cos these are guys that exemplify the best of our sport. They almost transcend the tribal stuff...Even when Ablett walked away from it, I couldnt help thinking that he was the best I'd seen and may have to wait a long time to see anything like him again.

There is nothing wrong with it. I was trying to praise you for it.
I do like great players too but I just don't like it when they are playing us. It's just something I can't do. Sorry if my words were misinterpretated as a stab at you.

As long as we still win.. then hell yeah

Collingwood and the AFL are better with buckley in the competition. its like missing a crawford, hird, riccuito etc for extended periods, the standard falls
