Personal view : I think Buckley was right in asking just what outcome is HL looking for? If he could state that then everyone involved could progress towards that outcome and then move on, hopefully all happy.

    bit hard when there are obviously 2 different narratives

    one side will have to admit to telling porkies

    Man... sharing selected snippets of audio you have secretly recorded from a conversation the other party thinks is private. It sounds like bits have been cut out too so it's hard to know exactly how the conversation really went.

    Dog act.

    It's hardly a smoking gun either.

    It would seem that Buckley doesn't mind the conversation being revealed.

    Whichever way you might lean on this issue (and I'm keeping an open mind), I hope we can all agree that it is a good thing if it causes turmoil and trouble at Collingwood.

    Just Harry O being himself. I used to hope he’d get help, but he obviously hasn’t. The only thing I glean from this is that Harry O still isn’t well. Get help Harry

    No weight at all is placed on how long it takes to bring a claim in a Court, other than if you miss the limitation period

    I am reminded of the Randolph Hearse saying. News is something that someone else doesn't want you to know. The rest is unpaid advertising.

    Listening to the audio snippets - it sounds to me like Bucks is trying to diffuse the situation and is no way in the wrong.

    Harry certainly had the right to be upset with Eddie over the King Kong gaffe and everything else.

    So it seems like Bucks was attempting to diffuse the situation and protect the club a bit - probably the right thing to do as opposed to throwing the baby out with the bathwater which is what Harry seems to think should have happened

    A messy situation they have themselves in.

    In this instance all facts were asked to be tabled as late as 2021 and on numerous occasions in prior years.. so that mediation could commence both at AFL with Legal Counsel and also at C'wood - which they botched anyway . Buckley even acknowledges now that exact point to Harry yesterday. It is a legal practice in all cases that all facts are brought to the table before a case moves forward in litigation. I feel that Harry may have some mental or personal issues in the handling of this matter, he seems also  to be lacking the backup support for his well being in this matter which is sad. Bringing up supposed "facts" after the event is not accepted in a Court of Law where that could be construed to be "double jeopardy" in a Trial.

    The "Do better report" only inflamed the fire in his belly and I agree he had the right to defend himself again from any comments made "from the other side - being Collingwood" but he needs to come to peace with a process, rightly or wrongly and move forward knowing that in his heart he has settled a grievance. There can be no winners only heartache.

    Mediation would seem to be now the only solution and sensible path ahead. If this was in fact a failed marriage, that is how it would proceed and a Judge would order it so.

    It appears to me that Harry wants revenge, mediation is not in his mind. He wants to bring down the CFC. Nothing else will satisfy him. The way it looks to me is he will take this to the grave with him. I feel sad for him that he cannot move on.

    On who/what?

    He helped bring down Eddie.  Buckley is no longer there.  CFC discredited and still in the doldrums.  Not sure there is much more he can do that will damage them further.  Sue them?  Then do it and be done with it.

    Buckley would be well served to ignore the provocations and not respond.  No winners on social media t-t for tat posts.

    As an aside, was allowing De Goey back into the team in accordance with the “Do Better” report?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
