I am still puzzled why Buckley did not immediately resign.

He didn't want to pass up the chance to have one last go at coaching Collingwood in their Grand Final?

    Great footballer but I hated the way he left Brisbane to go to the Pies. Reeked of entitlement.

    Despised watching him as a player, not because of his play, but the pandering by the Media and Ed's fawning and drooling over him.

    Loved his media work - he has insights and can articulate them. 

    I simply cannot understand how a bloke who has led a team into a Grand Final, a Prelim and a Semi Final in 3 years, can get the boot so soon after. He can coach, no doubt, but his people management skills are renowned as being direct, confrontational and too-high expectations. 

    People can learn from mistakes and life experiences. And then they become better.

    I reckon Buckley is firmly in this category.

    Went back to his old ways last season.

    Triggered Cox’s extra season by playing him late in the season for what was always going to be an early finals exit ($550k)

    Then think of how all the salary cap issues went down around draft time and how he came out looking from it

    • 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.

      It's Game Day and Clarry's 200th game and for anyone who hates Carlton as much as I do this is our Grand Final. Go Dees.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
