Which book was that again? The Nathan Buckley book yeah? Words according to naffan all truth all gospel.
They had added comments by the officials of all clubs involved at the time. So, the gospel according to football managers etc at the time.
Here's some more gospel of Naffan round 1 loss to dogs "if that's our brand, we'll win a lot of games of footy"... fast fwd to round 23 and is 9 wins your definition of "a lot of games of footy"?
They didn't play that brand often enough. Pretty simple. Did you find yourself going nuts about the slow play during games this year?
Oh and remember at the presser for his reappointment the clubs aspirations for finals under his tenure were “a hurdle you trip over” and "in many ways we got our expectations wrong". Is this guy outta his freaking mind? Naffan bangs on about finals finals finals every pre season for 4 years, and then when he dont achieve the finals he just shifts the friggin goal posts and says "our expectations were just too high". 13th is where we should be???
May have been referring to Pert's call about premierships.
And as for having a go at the 1990 players OMG. This is hilarious now. Bucks is better than the 20 that got us a cup in 32 years. Bucks is better than matthews too. Where does this false idol worshipping end?
Give it up. What's hilarious is you constantly exaggerating. I don't worship Buckley, I point out bullshit when I see it. There's a difference.
The guy had tickets on himself as a receiver in a port Adelaide premiership side. Came to Collingwood and acted like he was king of the heap. Man you outta your freaking mind to be bagging the 92 playing group after the death of Milane in 91 you are an absolute disgrace.
You'll need to back up your claims about the 92 playing group. I don't know about that one.
Rat packs win premierships buddy. We had a great rat pack in 1990. So too 2010. It's a shame Craig Kelly forgot his roots cause he was a great Rat Packer. And your false idol Buckley didn't win the ultimate cause he doesn't embrace Rat Pack culture.
Exactly how do they win you premierships and if you can answer that, you'll also have to tell us how they can also lose you a premiership. After all, both sets of rat packs were involved in wins and losses. 1990 won and did nothing else. 2010 drew, won, lost. Please explain but be careful, you're at risk of taking the piss again.
If you think that Buckley's issue and subsequent departures were purely based on his dislike of Rat Pack culture, you and other who subscribe to the same view are kidding yourselves and conveniently so.
Maybe if Buckley went in for a hard ball at some point in his first 5 years at the club we'd have been more successful. He hid behind the ball on half back most of the time.
Perhaps if he wasn't standing around clapping his hands at team mates screaming "give it to me give it to me" on the wing at vic park (yes I remember his first few years) as team mates fight two and three opponents for the hard ball we might have won more games in 1994 and finished 3rd. We almost pipped the great WCE side in Perth a side that no one else got close too. Go on give Mick McGuane a spray. That's your calibre isn't it.
Only missed finals in 95 by one game. All Nathan had to do was back himself and roost it on Anzac Day and kick a point. He choked and tried to pin point Rocca. That's 2 points right there. And if Naffan kicks straight in 95 instead of 13.18 I bet we get that extra 4 points and make finals and matthews is probably re appointed.
Maybe if Buckley averaged more than 21 disposals in 95 we'd have been a power house.
Maybe if he didn't over train all the time and rested his body better he doesn't get chronic hamstring injuries and we win two more games in 2007, finish 4th and roll the Cats like we did Port in 2002 qualifying finals. Or at least avoid having to travel to Perth for final.
You are now well and truly taking the piss. Bloody hell, I'm struggling to take you seriously.
Why the hell you think it's cool to shit on any 1990 premiership player is beyond me. Naffan couldn't even win a Brownlow without having his hand held by two other blokes on the stage. Rat packs culture wins premierships and brownlows on their own.
F..k that was funny. Ok, I get it now, you're competing with another poster for the Piss Taker of the Year Award.
