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!!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
