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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
