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 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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
