Buckley

I have no love for Collingwood.. they are of course our most hated of enemies !! But as a player I respect Buckley. Sure he's human and stuffed up on ocasions but he , as a week in week out performer is/was very very good.

He would have some outstanding abilities to pass on to any group but I think he'l lall but walk straight into some sort of role with the filth; though if he was truly smart he start his post player career at another club. Id take him.

He has stated in the past that ideally he would have coaching experience away from Collingwood. If Bailey could persuade him to become Asst coach at Melbourne, anything would be achievable.

Believe or not, I don't mind him - simply because he was an outstanding footballer.

Although he may seem a little arrogant, hes nothing compared to the likes of Akermanis, Cousins, or Crawford

An absolutely sensational player - rated him in the top few players of the last 20 years. Every bit as good as blokes like Harvey and Riccuito and probably just below Carey and Hird because of their flags. He started out as FIGJAM and became a statesman. Well done on a great career, Bucks, but I'm not sorry you didn't get that flag!

I believe he was a Melbourne supporter as a kid (like someone else we know eh!)

I don't think he'd be a bad pickup as a coach because he does know his football!!!

I am at a loss as to how they're going to fill all these regular slots on the footy show with Figjam, Hird, Archer, etc. retiring. Hint Paul Gardner; get Lyon on the line and tee Robbo or one of our more media savvy chumps up as a regular. Lord knows our club needs the exposure.

Hopefully he won't have his image plastered over the

back of the sports section in 2008.

I'm heartily sick of Collingwood and their heavily weighted

publicity machine.

Please spare us. After the first seven weeks one year, the

Herald Sun had them winning the Coleman Medal, the

Brownlow and the Premiership...and none of that promise

came to pass. Bwahahahaha

Good luck to Bucks as they call him.

I don't want him near the club when there's sharper football

brains around like Gary O'Donnell. Now there's someone

who knows about the hard yards.

Why would you train a Collingwood apprentice?

I still love the irony of him leaving Brisbane to play for Collingwood and Brisbane end up winning 3 premierships...he was a very good player in a reasonable side...he could have been a great player in a great side...I take great pleasure in reminding Collingwood supporters of this....I sleep very easily at night knowing this!!

    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,
