We've gone backwards on the ladder every year since 2010 except 2018

Nup.
Our club is leading 1950's Collingwood pub opinions by the length of Hoodle st and the Weids old fella.
Come 2021 we will have plumbing, kiddies no longer running bookie tabs and young Maguire, the media magnate steering our horse and buggy across Swan st bridge, to great acclaim and garlands of floral tributes from across Carringbush, on his way to collect our trophy for best team in the Commonwealth.

Good thread, got anything else?

You don't think that it's relevant that we've regressed on the ladder every year but one of Bucks's reign? Seems pretty pertinent to also mention that the one where we improved was straight after the review, when Bucks took the start of preseason off and it was regualry reported that Nathan took a back seat and handed over more responsibility to players and assistant coaches. Do you reckon he's stuck to taking the back seat? Do you reckon that he's still following the recommendations of the review? I reckon he's reverted to his pre-review regressive ways - the results are certainly heading that way.
 
This discussion is a farce, we finished 15-7 two years straight in 2018 and 2019.

In 2016 we lost 13 games
In 2017 we lost 12 games

We haven't went backwards every year. If so, only one spot down
As far as I'm aware, the ladder is king. Under Buckley we have finished lower than the previous year every year other than 2018.

No way to spin that, regardless of how hard you try.

Ladder is King is a flawed argument - for Victorian based teams.

1st is as good as 2nd
3rd is as good as 4th
5th is as good as 6th
7th is as good as 8th

Unless you think wearing white shorts and playing out of the away rooms is a massive deal

Whilst I agree in the finishing positions - thats not how the ladder works, nor the premise of this stupid thread
It doesn't deserve its own thread, but the suggestion that we've only improved in one year of Bucks's 9 at the helm is a valid point, particularly as that one year he was hands off.

going by this logic, only two teams have been successful in the past 10 years, Hawthorn and Richmond. Every other side that has any form of success hasn’t been able to follow it up
The OP was about us under Buckley finishing lower on the ladder every year other than 2018 - as that is not in dispute, you seem to have twisted into something else, to suit your sycophantic agenda.

Its a nothing comment, pretty much every team over a given span of time climbs the mountain, comes down the other side and not always with the grand prize.

May as well have said what goes up must come down... its the same argument

Settle down mate - a bit of useless trivia offered by the OP deserves the derision its getting.
No NEUTRAL gives it any credence as an insightful commentary on Buckley as a Coach.

we've been "nutted at the clearances"; "lost our shape in transition" and... "didn't have any assets at the drop of the ball"! :(
