    The guy [censored] canned Neale Daniher and josh Fraser publicly and now Nathan Buckley. What does that say to you? He is nothing but a spoilt little brat that didn't get things his way.

    This has come back to bite him in the ass and so it should! Collingwood made the right decision and good on them. His body was absolute shot and he struggled at VFL level even getting a bath of Wayde Skipper in one game.

    Best thing for him is to quietly disappear from the footballing world and focus on job searching.

    Got no respect for him and never will after the way he carried on against ND and Josh Fraser.

    And btw we aren't exactly out of the rabble ourselves. Collingwood aren't in any.

    Spot on.

    Jolly and Caroline Wilson are a perfect match at the age.

    Sounds like he is a sensitive guy.

    Jolly has gone where it best suits him over his career and hasn't cared about who he left behind so he can't complain when someone shows him the same loyalty; can he.

    Don't know if that's entirely fair.

    I thought we traded him to Sydney and he ended up leaving the Swans for Collingwood to come back to Victoria because his wife had severe postnatal depression.

    Don't like either Jolly or Buckley but I thought Bucks response today was measured and cutting and should put Jolly back in his place, if that's possible. A few clubs might think twice about hiring him as a ruck coach with a big mouth like that. Not good form, regardless of press spin.

    Ive never been a fan of Buckley but I like how this season he has just stripped back his list and got kids in. He has got rid of obvious troublemakers such as Shaw and his mate Didak and let Jolly go. Maybe Jolly is right that other players feel the same as him but he won a premiership with this club and I even wouldnt call Bucks a coward.

  • Quote

    Yeah, obviously a dic k head - left Melbourne to play in two premiership sides.

    He achieved alot, but he is still a total nob.

    Isn't that what Neeld did at Melbourne, got rid of the bad seeds and replaced them with kids, too bad he couldn't coach; I wonder if Bucks can?

    Difference is Neeld brought in guys like Pedersen, Rodan, Byrnes, Dawes, Gillies.. To prove what, I don't know..

    Neeld did bring in Viney, Toumpas and Hogan but Collingwood have done well with Grundy, Kennedy, Sharenberg and Taylor Adams

    Said before they have a very good list potential to dominate for the next 5 years. But whether Bucks can deliver is the question..

    Shaw and Didak won Malthouse a premiership. Maybe Buckley needs to man manage better

    Agree 'dazzle', they have recruited very well over the last couple of years and are well set up going forward. The cards have fallen their way with Grundy and Sharenberg, players they should never have had access to. The question now is can Buckley coach? I wouldn't be so quick to write him off as others on here have.

    Neale Daniher would never have had the guts to do what Buckley did. Jolly was no.1 ruck at Collingwood by reputation only. Brodie Grundy was an emerging gun. Had a dip....was mobile....2nd, 3rd, 4th efforts then more! Buckley rewarded Grundy. I reckon Buckley did the right thing. Granted though, Buckley's people skills and EQ aren't obviously flash.

    The Jolly article about Fraser was always going to have consequences. Ol' valium Fraser had deep roots at Collingwood. When he slagged off at Fraser, which I think was actually fair in context, he peed off many ex-teammates and officials etc. The writing was on the wall then in some way. Daisy Thomas came out publicly immediately and bagged Jolly in the press.

    To sum it all up, any club could have taken Jolly cheaply. FCS he would have been better than Jamar and Neville Jetta combined in 2014. But we have Jamar, who is virtually clogging the list....so our hands are tied. The fact that no club took Jolly vindicates Buckley again... in my opinion.

    Nathan Buckley, as assistant coach when Jolly arrived, pulled big Darren aside straight away. Buckley wanted to know about the Paul Roos aura. What made him a good coach. What did he do in certain circumstances.. How did he react to things. Buckley organised a coffee with him, and all he drilled Jolly on was Paul Roos.

    Bux has been under Tony Shaw, Malthouse etc.... but he has one idol in the coaching caper. The sundance kid.

    He was left naked as a newborn child atop Mt Sparta and survived.

    He was then deemed fit and had his Demonisation ceremony in the presence of David Schwartz and Rodney Grinter.

    He was locked in a cage and fed raw meat .

    He was trained to destroy Ollie Vines at will as a cub.

    He had his face prepared by Wojincki as a Jnr

    He joined the fray and tasted only defeat.

    He became the saviour...

    The anointed one ....

    The Avenger of all Demons.

    Ahem...Sorry ,got carried away there a tad..

  • Quote

    After the 2005 grand final win by the Swans, he gave MFC a sarcastic serve for having traded him "good on them, Melbourne, they're not the one with a premiership medal around their neck."

    Probably had a point, but his comment seemed unnecessary at the time.

    If we finish higher than the pies or essendon ill bust a nut

    Could have been three but he let us down in 2000.

  • Quote

    He talks about the Bloods culture but how many of the Swans slag their teammates off in the media? The closest I have seen is when Goodesy said he would keep a close eye on Buddy come pre-season and that wasn't even really a pot shot!
    The bloke seems pretty bitter. The writing was on the wall when Grundy took his spot.

  • Quote

    I always think it was a real shame he wasn't such a git, because we probably would have kept him then and bumped Jamar years ago... But he is, and we didn't.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
