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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
