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

FIGJAM = [censored] Im Gay Just Ask McGuire

Bless your cotton sox Y_M...

FIGJAM = Financially Inspired Gee Judds A Mercenary

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!!!

Didn't mind Bucks, buut yeah, was abit up himself. Buts still, the game lost a legend today, I'm sure we can all admit that.

Didn't mind him, much better than the present scumbag champions like Judd, Franklin.

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?

Can we just let this quietly slip off the front page and forget it ever happened?

Please do not reply to this post.

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!!
