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!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
