Well if my boss carried on like that to me in front of others I'd be putting forward a complaint of bullying. It was very unprofessional and a fast way to get a lot of his players offside.

One of the basic fundamental rules of managing people is that you give criticism behind closed doors.

Only one way from here for collongwood while Buckley is in charge and it's decently not up!

    Thought it was pretty messed up too, but then I thought it was just me. I'm glad to hear everyone else thinks he went over the line too.

    I think it's awesome you would put forward a bullying complaint...

    Thanks for the link, Chook.

    Not a great look, even if the player could have gone harder in the contest. Personally, I think Bucks was just embarassed that a short guy got the mark.

    What? Can't a coach give a player a spray anymore?

    Getting a too precious if anyone has a problem with that

    Hopefully Bucks knows whether Witts is the kind of player who responds to treatment like that. I know I would much prefer to be told what I did wrong, and what to do next time. Maybe Witts just needs a kick in the arse, and maybe Bucks knew that.

    witts responded. he played better and kicked 2 goals. Maybe some players can handle that and respond to it. While for others it just crumbles them.

    But yeah it wasnt a good look and I guess it was a build up of frustration from bucks.

    For me, the verbal spray isn't the issue. It is the putting the hands on the player (grabbing the jumper) that is.

    think i might lodge a complaint with Worksafe Victoria.

    If an essendope supporter can lodge one why not

    DC, who would even joke about following the lead of such a supporter?

    Did Buckley have blood on his hands?

    Why?

    He didn't attack him, didn't assault him and didn't threaten him.

    If a footballer can't handle that then it's time for the boy to walk away from a game of men.

    It was a coach getting stuck into a player. You wouldn't have had a problem if Ron barrassi did it.

    As I said, too precious

    No, but I didn't like the look of him grabbing the jumper. Doesn't bother me if I'm the only one.

    Really IMO nothing wrong with what he did, gave the player a good serve for not going hard enough. Sometimes you have to draw the line and the basic rules of management is not everything relating to criticism has to be done behind closed doors

    The rule is about being flexible different players respond to different methods.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
