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 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.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
