I really like Nathan Buckley and he may have let the lid off the pot today, but in general, I find his views very refreshing.

I can't say I like him much, but I do find I agree with him most of the time. He's pretty much the Stannis Baratheon of the AFL in that respect.

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

Getting a too precious if anyone has a problem with that

Oh, he's welcome to do it.

It's just that these days, people understand that it's a stupid, selfish, emotional indulgence that achieves nothing.

So I guess what I'm saying is, he's welcome to do it, at Collingwood.

Incident with Wittsy says more about his coach than the player. Still room for challenges to be laid in this game but too overt today.

Gracious step back.

Dammit, I still have to respect him.

Why oh why wont at least one club give me a completely unambiguous run at legitimately hating them.

Surely not too difficult a task Goffy. Do you have to look further than our opponents of last week?

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!

He looked like a Bull Terrier, I thought he was going to bite him.

Hmmmm where was all this when Roosy verbally destroyed Terlich earlier this season?

Put your Collingwood bias aside FFS.

Well, I for one was really disappointed by Roos losing his cool and giving such a pointless spray. Remembering this was early enough in the season that the 'magic' hadn't really started to show, we were 0-3 including two disappointing losses that we went in hoping to win.

When I posted about the Buckley brain-fade I was wondering if I should mention the Roos-Terlich one. And clearly the spray didn't do anything to convince Terlich to change his ways. Here he is in the VFL, doing exactly what he got sprayed for it seems;

Dean Terlich: Dean played half-back and half-forward. He had 16 possessions. I thought he was another who was pretty consistent over four quarters for the team. He positioned himself well and communicated well with his teammates in the defensive area. He just made a couple of disappointing decision-making errors, with ball in hand. He tried to be a little bit too cute, when the conditions were certainly not conducive to tricky ball use – he just needed to play the percentages.

Why were you disappointed? Early in the year or not, if a player deserves a spray, he should get a f'k'n spray. If you can't cop a spray then you just have to harden the f up.

Dean Terlich absolutely deserved that spray. That was by far the worst game I have seen him played. Didnt stick to team rules and was making poor dumb decisions.

Glad Roosy gave him a rocket.

Some players or people need to seriously harden up. If your not sticking to the basic fundamental team rules and not sticking to your role you deserve a kick up the ass. I have copped sprays in my playing career. For me its to cop it on the chin and try and win back the respect of my teamates go that one extra harder at the contest.

Im only 24 and not part of the older generation. But I am all for players copping spray when they need it. Players these days are way too sensitive. I have always liked the way Bucks goes about it. Infact id rather him coaching my team then Mick Malthouse. Collingwood will be a powerhouse in coming years. But for him to come out and say what he did on twitter was fantastic and a credit to him.

For me it's not about hurt feelings or anything like that. Having a coach blow up at me would be distracting, and I'd be thinking about it for the rest of the game. It would not be good for my performance at all. Maybe I'm soft that way, but that's just how it is. If Witts isn't like me, then maybe the spray was a good thing for him. Otherwise it was a bad move on Buckley's part.

For example, do you reckon Jack Watts would respond to a physical kick in the bum like that? Hell no. He'd play like shite and might even want out of the club. Jake King probably would love it though. There are some people you need to talk to, and some people you need to bake.

It's not about "deserving" a spray. It's about responding to a spray. The purpose of a spray (or anything a coach does) should be to get his players to play the way he wants them to play. Spraying someone because you're [censored] off does nothing, and makes you look like a dill.

It wasn't a bad move by Buckley because Witts responded afterwards and actually played alright

I know you don't speak for Jack Watts but if any player would want out of the club after a spray like that then they are playing the wrong game and should retire immediately.

I disagree about players deserving a spray. Paul Roos mentioned he already notified Terlich about doing the team things against GWS. Again he didn't follow instructions and it cost us a couple of goals. did he deserve a kick up the backside for not doing the doing team things which resulted in a couple of goals? Absolutely!!

Roos gave Watts and Howe a spray against Sydney. Ever since then they have both been one of our best players since. Again both deserved a spray for not going harder at the contests. For two very talented players it is frustrating for a coach to see them not put in the effort. Sometimes a good spray is what you need to kick start your career.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
