Impressive article thats for sure. Coaching resume speaks for itself and seems the process was done very thoroughly as Guerra said at the start.

Just realised his kids still live on the Gold Coast. Commutes when he can. Fair effort.

That's exactly the feeling I got.

Well done @BLWNBA 👏 Called one the non Buckley decision well before anyone else including the media.

Little glimpse i suppose.

Time to wave your magic wand Kingy.

Me as well mate. I was all in for Bucks but the fact he had one eye on Tassie still says to me that he was half committed. I am very excited for Steven King.

Operation get Matt Rowell and Ben King when their contract comes up.. Welcome Kingy!

Sheedy curse?

How do you know the leak is coming from the club? The coaches of the managers do leak more then anything.

Josh Gaeblich tonight mentioned that Brendon Lade was another that had a strong interview with us and apparently the panel were very impressed.

Buckley is still my first preference. If he decides not to go ahead then happy for Kelly if they deem him the best fit.

Definitely warming to James Kelly. Not that I didnt like or rate him, just thought he didnt fit the bill of being a fairly experienced assistant coach. I mean, anyone thats been in such a successful organisation as Geelong cant be too bad..

I think its too late for that. Seems he is about to re-sign

Look where thats gotten us over the past 4 years....

The first element is definitely football and on field results. I see a bit of Paul Roos appointment in this Buckley one. Roos was able to come in and sell hope to our members and sponsors just because he could. Some guys are just natural leaders on and off field and I put Buckley in that category. To be honest we have gone back to being irrelevant again. Significant drop in memberships, members of the playing group not happy and no official home base as yet. I feel like a guy like Buckley, with his profile and positive relationship in the media alongside a hopeful appointment of Jimmy Bartel can really galvanise this footy club again and actually bring us back to being respected in the competition.

In my opinion Bucks has the brand and charisma to attract sponsors. He speaks well in the public eye and has great connections in the cooperate world considering he is always a guest speaker whever he goes. I follow him on Instagram and there is no doubt he he has pulling power with the way he conducts himself professionally. Where we sit currently with memberships and sponsorship, if there was one guy that could really be the face for this footy club and build our brand back up again, it would be Bucks.

Yep. The carcass is ripe for the picking. Good on Mitchell i say.

Also an ambassador for a prestige BMW dealership in docklands mind you..

So would I. And I would absolutely love if our coach was out there being proactive and ruthless with recruiting, regardless of who it is.
