Roost it far

For a moment tell me why you think Buckley is the coach for us ahead of some highly rated assistants, which is where all the best coaches come from, and admittedly most of the worst as well. I don’t want safe, I don’t want us appeasing anyone, as others have suggested the Buckley appointment will do to sponsors etc.

You simply elaborate on why I think Buckley is both the safe, very Melbourne choice and the completely wrong choice. He has zero experience in helping turn an entire football club around and that shouldn’t even be his remit. I want the hunger that a first time coach brings. I want to leave the running of the club to others and leave the coach to do his thing. I want the next 10 year coach with intimate knowledge of how the best go about it.

Firstly I think Roos was a much better coach than Buckley. Secondly I don’t think our list or club is the basket case it was when Roos and Jackson arrived. Buckley has had his time as coach, and although I wouldn’t call it a complete failure, he largely ended where Goodwin did, with an underperforming list. Skipworth is the senior assistant and midfield coach of Collingwood, who once again have themselves in line for a Flag. Buckley has been in the media for last 4-5 years. I just don’t get the love for him.

If we’re hiring a coach to try and lead the club as a whole we’re still acting like amateur’s. You get the best coach and you support him to do his job. Others run the organisation. Buckley isn’t the best coach, never was, likely never will be.

We need a fresh approach from someone who works with the best in the business. I maintain that Buckley is the safe, very Melbourne choice. We may as well of kept Goodwin.

If Hayden Skipworth is a serious voice at Collingwood he should be the only guy to coach us. For pretty much the same reasons I wanted Daly I now want Skipworth. A failed coach who’s been in the media for 5 years or an assistant at one of the best run clubs in the business. Buckley isn’t the man.

I liked the pink colour that Schwab introduced with that logo shambles and the collar on our jumper…….oh and the Premiership cups on the back. What a deadset clown he was.

You lost me at May/Lever and another flag

Petracca needs to learn to hit bodies again, I get why he didn’t want to this year and don’t blame him but it’s front and centre in his job description.

Here we go again

can you put the article up

I'm not ready to let that go either. :)

How ‘s the umpiring

You never know if someone is the man until they've proven it themselves. Daly is very highly regarded at Brisbane and by Premiership coaches Hardwick and Macrae who both tried to pry him out of the Lions to no avail. For mine the only thing Buckley's desperate for is a Premiership for Buckley. He may well work out but my fear remains, he's an ego driven bloke who I don't see giving this job the next 8-10 years of his life. He's the safe choice, a very Melbourne thing to do. Of course these are just my thoughts and in truth I know very little about any of the coaching options.

If that’s our team in Round one next year we’ll finish in the VFL. Kemp FFS!! If we recruit him as our FF I’m never going to the football again. Please enough already!

We really have no clue as to the workings of the negotiations. It appears there’s egos and the requisite ineptitude of both our club and this Kanga bloke.

Kelly doesn’t convince me, Daly was the man and we should have offered him coin he couldn’t refuse.

Feels like Buckley is our man. He better be committed over a decent time period as I don’t want some short term top up to try and pinch the missing piece on his CV. He appears an astute observer, well respected, has a pretty decent coaching record and besides being a Collingwood legend just might be strong enough to shake this club to its senses. I trust he’ll be reaching out to assistant’s to bring with him. Still feels a little dirty to me but I’ll back him in if he gets the nod.

I reckon we've just got to hang tight a few more weeks/months and we'll get a clearer explanation of how it works. Herald Sun articles need to be taken as little more than gossip.

There’s a tunnel off the roundabout on Kambrook Rd. Can someone put the article up?

I grew up on Robbie Flower and I just can’t go past him as the greatest MFC player I’ve seen. However for the ability to grind it out year after year Max has few peers, 8 AA’s, Captain of a Premiership side and those continual marks down the line make him likely to become recognised as our greatest ever.

Still No

No

I thought it was said that Daly would take over at Brisbane. Either way I’d have Daly at the front of our queue…..Have I said that before??
