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

Interesting…

Yeah I know but I thought I'd leave that one alone after his charade leaving the Eagles

 

and darren cuthbertson was one of his favourites

never forget the anzac day he went ballistic - before figjam's filth monopolised the day

 

 

Edited by whatwhat say what

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

 


I like Buckley all of a sudden. What a good bloke.

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

  • 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.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
