You'd think it hilarious that a footballer gets injured? Wow whatever credibility you had left vanished with that one.

DOnt try and say Clokey cost us that game in his 1 and a half qtrs on the ground
Fact was this game will mean nothing come finals time and was not worth the risk of injury, teams have gone to Perth with older players and players under injury clouds, been pumped, lost players for weeks afterwards and their season has gone downhill, others rest players and win flags
It would be pretty funny if Collingwood were to miss the finals by one game

If we dont finish top 4 then we honestly suck with our draw, still got the 5 easy beats again, Richmond, Lions, Swans, Eagles in Melbourne, theres 14 wins

What you think your going to make the finals already??? Remember you played the first decent side last night and lossed. Wouldn't get cocky yet buddy. You have got the Cats next week and i reckon they would be rating there chances.

If Nafan played the losing margin would have doubled. The other players tend to stand back and wait for Bucks to do the job for them.
Smart psychological move by Malthouse. He seems to be back to his scheming best this season and coaching with plenty of confidence again.
What if you miss the finals, or the top 4, by one game. If Collingwood had one more quality midfield/forward rotation in their side (ie: a 100% fit Buckley, which he was acording to Collingwood) they would have beaten the Coasters on their patch and made a significant statement to the competition. The only thing that can be surmised is that Bucks is either carrying something or Mick and the coaching staff got too smart by half and flirted with their form.eddiesmith said:
The 3 hr plane trip excuse is a load of old bollocks. Cashed-up Collingwood could have flown him in earlier, got him a bed in 1st class, had constant physio. That is a furphy. They gained nothing from the weekend that they would not have gained anyway with Buckley in the side. All the decision did was contribute to losing a H&A game that was there for the taking. The Pies have paid a price for this decision, and the cost will not be known until the end of the season.
What Edddie do if he found Carla and Nafan in Bed?
Tell Bucks to roll over and join them.

What if Bucks did his hammy and was out for 4 weeks? Or he was so burnt out by that game he couldnt play this week against Geelong?Sedat! said:
We have 18 games in Melbourne and realistically should win 15 of them, we want him playing every one of those games and a trip to Perth means nothing if we cant win the games we should.
Fact is a couple of years back a top side took a few players to Perth with niggles, a couple of older players as well, they were flying, got done, lost a few to injury and their season was
ed, we werent going to take that riskHe was 100% fit according to the club. He would be just as likely to do a hammy this week, or any future week of the season. That's of course if he is actually 100% fit. Mick and the coaching staff would never deliberately try to mislead the football public would theyeddiesmith said:
If 'resting' him is so important to his well-being, you should have done it in the wet last week against Carlton (a game that you would have won easily regardless of Buckley's appearance in the team) and had him cherry ripe for the crucial clash with West Coast. A significant win was there for the taking against West Coast in hostile territory that would have given you vital momentum towards securing a top 4 finish.eddiesmith said:

What do you actually gain from resting a player from a home game?
