I enjoy listening to him as opposed to Roosy most episodes.

Each to their own.

What happened? I usually like what he has to say.

It's not what he says it's how long they give him to say it. At least with Thomson there was equal give and take between him and Roos.

Yeah I actually don't mind listening to Buckley, he's far more forthcoming with his views than Roos who's pretty circumspect.

Only natural he was the focus of attention tonight after what happened today at Collingwood.

I sometimes wonder why I bother with 360 it's rapidly turning into a vehicle for Nathan Buckley. Doesn't he ever shut up.

Agree that was a crap episode! Couldn't even get boo out of Roosy and when the did bucks completely cut him off in what i thought was quite pathetic.

Its been all about bucks this year.

Thommo and Roosy last year blended in together.

One of my favourite people in football to listen to. If he waffled on (which he doesn't), at least there's substance to what he says.

Haven't watched tonight's episode yet, though I too am a fan of Buckley on the show.

I (and probably everyone else) know what Roos is going to say before he even says it.

Bucks used to annoy me, but, I must admit, I find him quite interesting these days.

But what I really love about him is that he is a walking premiership-avoidance zone and he's coaching the Filth. I suppose this is old news to all you experts, but if you look at his personal history, he could have gone with either North or Brisbane and enjoyed their respective glory years, but chose the Pies because he wanted the ultimate success. All those years as a champion player and he never got one. Then he became coach just in time to replace a premiership-winning coach and they've been hopeless ever since.

I used to hate Buckley as a player, now i have an enormous amount of respect for him and enjoy hearing him speak.

On the other hand, I used to have the utmost respect of James Hird as a player, now I loathe the sight of him and cant bear to hear him speak!

I’ve always hated Paul Roos’ media technique. He feels so false and noncommittal. If he weren’t Melbourne coach, I’d go back to doing what I used to do and totally ignore him because he’s just so dull.

Not a fan.


Bucks on the other hand. I could listen to him all day. Blunt, succinct, and (above all) usually spot-on.
I still hate Collingwood though.

Yeah, that really annoyed me. The only time I wanted to actually hear Roos speak - was on player welfare, yet Bucks cut him off. Anytime Roos speaks on psychological related issues to players, team structure, etc, he is well worth listening to. Anything game related, match day, I just tune Roos out. I thought it was poor form of Bucks tonight to cut Roos off, it was very disrespectful.

I noticed that also but thought it was appropriate. Whilst Roosy got his suggestion across eventually about the players and industry having a great opportunity to say "enough is enough," it was Buckleys players they were talking about and at that stage there were a lot of opinions being aired. I reckon it was Slobbo who [censored] Buckley off and got him snapping Roosy off.

To be fair it was a big news day for Collingwood with 2 players outed on drugs charges...this would have been a huge story a few years back but now with EFC and the mudslinging around the game at the moment it has been relegated.

In fairness to the show, the leading news story was 2 Collingwood players receiving 2 year bans for testing positive to performance enhancing drugs.

THAT SAID, the usual line of questioning in this segment is directed to Buckley because, ultimately, the show wants ratings and they have a lot more Collingwood fans watching than Dees fans.

Mark Neeld’s public persona was a whole other kind of wrong.

The concentrated on Bucks due to the two players suspended, other weeks they have hardly spoken to bucks. He is good to listen too and shoves it up Robbo at times which is great.

Dont forget Roos and the boys smacked them on the g 2 weeks ago. he he.

I find Buckley super impressive on 360. Really enjoy listening to him.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
