Nathan Buckley a Dees supporter?

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

and darren cuthbertson was one of his favourites

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

 

 

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?

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

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
