Interesting article...

No pressure in his first year "collingwood president expects nathan buckley to deliver flag first up"

http://www.heraldsun...f-1226280287764

Basically if the pies don't win a flag this year Buckely has FAILED as the coach.

I think eddie is going to kill his golden boy.

If all else fails he might make a satisfactory assistant at Melbourne.

I reckon he'll be sleeping in the spare room tonight!

More like Eddie after making a statement like that!!

Let's watch Bucks age this year. 4-5 hours sleep a night does that.

Why?

Maybe a kick training he could be a target.

An assistant to Mark Neeld would be rather amusing.

No! How dare a club put pressure on a first year coach... :wacko:

Shouldn't ALL presidents want their coach, regardless of years of service, to win a premiership at the start of a season???

Yeah, but they probably shouldn't be EXPECTING it. Although, given the first-year performance of Chris Scott, perhaps it's pretty realistic.

Yes they should....But we all know how Long Eddie has wanted Bucks to be in charge!!!!

(It is a little weird that whole scenario to me...)

If I were McGuire, and I handed my toy boy one of the best lists in the league, one that won a premiership 2 seasons ago and made the final last season, I too would expect him to win a flag. "Expect" doesn't mean have the attitude that you just turn up and it happens, you still work your arse off.

I wonder what the reaction would be if McLardy came out and said "don't worry if we don't make finals in 2012 boys, we've got a brand new coach, an entirely different looking football department, a brand new game plan, and we're still fairly inexperienced on the field".

I expect to win the premiesrship every year, as I would our entire playing list. Good sides expect to win, mediocre sides hope to win. Robbie Flower was part of some pretty ordinary sides in the 80's, every time he ran out on the ground he expected to win, and put in 100% to make sure it happened. Sometimes, actually, a lot of the times, it didn't happen.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
