Opinion Who should be Bucks' mentor?

[jmac70]

IMO, we need someone who Bucks will listen to and who has a clear strategy for building a winning game plan and culture. Who though?

The obvious ones are Bomber, Clarkson, Roos, with only Bomber any likelihood of being interested/available.

Gubby Allen

Ducks for cover.............

BT will be a great mentor for him when he starts his commentary career next year.

That is a job l don't mind Roos for actually. Mentor and run the footy department

This sounds awfully like what a coach should be.

 

[Tazzaye]

Why not just sack him and appoint the "mentor" as our coach aye

You mean, Nathan's going to by-pass going back to the special comments role he had from 2008-09 and go straight into play-by-play?

Oh boy, wowee! THIS MOB ARE JUST GETTING NUTTED IN THE MIDDLE!!!

It's better than a coach, it's a mentor.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Why didn't Ed get Tony Shaw a mentor?

 

[jscan]

Buckley doesn't need a mentor imo, he has done a great job, but I would think he could learn alot from Michael Voss.

Even that legend Tony Shaw.

My second choice was Jesse White

 

[Tazzaye]

Guess Bucks is on one of them 10 yr apprenticeships

So we need a mentor coaching the club?

Easier to sacrifice the mentor if it goes pear shaped can never have too many escaped goats

 

[jmac70]

Perhaps the mentor could be someone from outside the AFL world.

Mick Malthouse

Guss Hiddink

But a genuine suggestion could be someone like Craig Bellamy.

The guy has achieved an amazing amount, and looking at his ability to communicate, galvanise and develop teams - that is the sort of skill set lacking in a guy like Bucks I reckon.

I am one of the few that doesn't think Bucks is that bad strategically or tactically - I think it's his inability to teach, instruct and get what's in his head onto the field through his players that is his issue. What comes out is at times a mess that doesn't reflect what he is actually wanting the players to do. That is his responsibility and he is not good at it IMO.

I can't believe some of the things we are resorting to to just come up with "excuses".

We continue to sink to new lows.

A mentor?

What a deflection of the problems at hand.

I have a hobby farm & I want goats but I don't want those escaped varieties.

I want bore (sp?) goats but I'm guessing they are the pre cursor to escape goats, what to do!?

I hear Jesus can turn water into wine so maybe he could work another miracle and turn Buckley into a coach?

Jesus could have done with a mentor.

Wayne Carey when he joins Talking Footy

True. He was crucified at his end of season review!

Jesus could have done with a mentor.

Is that because he didn't turn it into beer?

I have no problem with wine by the way mate.

P.S Had a beautiful meal at Supermaxi in Nth Fitzroy tonight with the family......do yourself a favour people.
