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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
