This morning on Whately on SEN Natham Buckley let slip that he was a Dees supporter as a teenager. 
 

Interesting…

    Have found the changes in the com box super refreshing. Buckley and Chunk in particular provide great insight without arrogance

    Great video, enjoyed watching that immensely. 
    I remember DC bursting onto the scene and then fizzing out pretty quickly but I am too young to recall any details. 

    Why is it that he didn't last and go on to have a lengthy career? 

    Also, how good was the barrell from big Darren B, an NFL audition piece right there.

    I always had the impression that Nathan Buckley was a fanatical Collingwood supporter and that is why he left the Brisbane Bears and went to Collingwood? 

     

    Either way, I think Nathan Buckley will definitely get another senior coaching gig at an AFL Club. Whether it is at Port Adelaide, Gold Coast, GWS or even North Melbourne we shall have to wait and see. 🤔

    I heard that comment, was genuinely suprised. 
    i wonder what the reasons were that made him so intent on getting to The Filth after his stellar Career as a Bear

    bears did a secret deal with the filth well before trade period

    said they could pick any 2 players (except for a protected 10) plus get pies first pick (ended up as pick 12 and a scott brother)

    was all stitched up before trade week

    buckley was ok with this because his priority was a melbourne club and premiership chances

    and lol as you know won zero flags at pies whilst bears got the threepeat (filth losing 2 of those gfs)

    Ok. I always thought Buckley drove the deal. “I am going to Collingwood, get me there…”

    buckley originally got picked bears via zoning concession. didn't want to go. stood out for a year playing sanfl for port.

    bears then did a deal promising him an out (in 1 year) if he came to them, hoping they could turn him around.

    but buckley stayed determined to get to a melb club so bears starting talking to clubs looking for best deal

    afl (and everyone) was unaware of deal brewing with filth

    p.s. because it was all stitched up before trade week and was a secret buckley went into the trade period claiming he just wanted to go to collingwood. obviously he was happy to go to collingwood because they had offered him a motza and bears had the trade details all locked up.

    I knew all the scenario with him standing out of Football for a year etc, i was sure he was also adamant that it was Collingwood or bust after those 2 years at the Bears. 
    why wasn’t he interested to be a Demon, considering what he said on Radio this morning?

    You don't have to like him but is it really necessary to refer to him as filth?

    i doubt he was a real invested demon fan

    as a kid he lived all over australia but i don't think victoria

    like most interstate kids he would have had his best favourite local team where he lived and picked melbourne as a sort of quasi vfl team as the vfl was seen as the heart of footy (he was already 18 when the vfl became the afl)

    but that's just a bit of a guess

    • 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?
