My hatred of Collingwood is enough to say that today is a great day for football. Nathan "FIGJAM" Buckley retired without a premiership.

The bloke left Brisbane to lose 2 premierships to them! And a 3rd for good measure.

May he always be remembered as the bloke who left a triple premiership side to play for the filth! Amen.

All together now, in case she doesn't get it :P

Ha Ha ! I wonder how many messages can be posted at the same time. I wonder if we could all post that we hate Carlton at the same time. We could go for the record.

Despite all the love being shown to Buckley in this thread, are we at all interested in getting Buckley to the club in a development/assistant role?

id take him. he knows his football. and those taking pleasure in the fact he never won a premiership, bit harsh considering we know how sad it is that Neitz will never win one.

Hopefully he'll also be remembered for smearing his blood on Ling.

I'm a bit disappointed with everyone. Sure, he's up himself and thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. BUT above all that is the fact he was a sensational footballer. I for one congratulate him on his career. And if the opportunity arose for him to become an assistant at the club, I would jump at it.

No you are not evil, you are sane, for that is how we all should feel!

Suck balls! 01, 02, 03 could have been yours and possibly 04.

enjoy your 2 runner up medals!

Quite possibly the most despicable act in the history of football.

Lewis biting Viney fades in comparison.

A special 'Bucks moment' was in the GF when he won the Norm Smith medal in the losing side against guess who.

It's infamous now but worth repeating.

The judges put their votes in at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter to be ready for the presentations. FIGJAM ahead by a whisker over Voss at this stage. Voss dominates the last 15, swings the game, shows leadership etc etc. BOG performance when it counts.

Oops. Too late. The votes are cast and on their way downstairs to the dais in the wings.

I think even FIGJAM was a little embarrassed in accepting the medal, but then again hubris is not a word not in FIGJAM's vocabulary.

All that said and done, I wouldn't ever doubt his ability as a footballer.

nothing beats that

8 weeks wasnt it?

I can't remember.

But the high accolades attributed to this guy in the media are unbearable. Robbie Muir is considered a dog but has nothing on Bucks.

Don't want him anywhere near the MFC - would just go back to Collingwood anyway.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
