I'll throw a spanner..

If we lost Yze to a senior gig, would you take Buckley as a midfield coach?

In a heartbeat. The bloke can coach. If I was Carlton I'd be showing Teague the door & getting Buckley in navy blue. I've thought for a while that he could do something with the Blues list that Teague obviously can't

    Supporters need to relax.

    This will be massively draining on Collingwood players during the week. There will be many thinking about their future given the events that have transpired at Collingwood since last year's trade period. The club is a shambles atm with everything they've faced.

    If anything, this gives Goody and co another reason to G our guys up and prepare them for a hot first quarter. Clearly Collingwood will throw everything at as in the first quarter and if we can match their intensity (assuming it'll be there), then we will roll them after that.

    Collingwood have bullied us on many occasions, we're the oldest rivals in the game.

    It's time to give it to them.

    I don’t reckon they’ll go for an untried coach. Once they keep their hands off Goody I’ll be happy. 

    it makes QB a much tougher game. They will play out if their skins for him

    Might bring a few more to the QB game. Do we still get the gate receipts?

    I'm not worried about Yze leaving and certainly not leaving us in the lurch halfway through a season that we're 11-1 with the best shot at a premiership in 50+ years.

    I'm more worried about Collingwood playing out of their skins for Buckley's last game.

    Maybe they will 'A F' but as we are the better team if we put in equal commitment we should win.

    The danger was we might underestimate C/wood or be off our game coming into this one.

    With this development we now know what they're going to bring and can step up to match it.

    Of course it could also deflate them and they bring nothing.

    Going to add an extra interest to the game.

    yep....will last till quarter time...

    Did he jump or was he pushed...if he was pushed they must already have someone else lined up you would think?

    2 points.

    Micky malthouse has arguably s*** the bed in leaving his last 2 clubs in tatters

    Pies still paying $5.50 on sportsbet for QB, but if a loyal dee fan like me the +32.5 at the line is tasty

     

    It’s only 1.90 for the line on SB at +30.5

    • figjam will slot straight into the media for rest of the season
    • figjam will spend rest of season deciding if he wants to stay in media a bit longer or pursue a coaching job

    Ross Lyon

    You have to wonder if Carlton's review and now Buckley stepping down shows these two clubs are panicking about missing out on Ross Lyon.

    From everything that has been mentioned prior to this, I don't think the players will care one bit that Buckley is standing down. That is the whole problem

    Mondays game is more dangerous now due to the unknown. Will this fire them up more or cause them to completely fall apart?

    Ours boys need to stay focused so we don’t have a repeat of the Adelaide game where we lost our way and lost to an inferior team.

    ..or maybe Clarkson.

    There is little doubt that Carlton have spooked them.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
