It's still zero premierships

Yes. We don't want the same coaching team that failed to win a premiership at Collingwood.

It's also possible that Buckley's assistants will have the same perceptions of the club and won't come along

Can't we give the job to a highly regarded assistant and bring in new assistants coaches like Collingwood did very successfully?

He left last year

I don't like it when clubs put on the "We want an experienced coach" blinkers on.

Please don't just hand the job to Buckley. Go through a proper process and see what other options are out there.

Longmire's a tricky one because he's a premiership coach but lost four grand finals which is a lot, but made five grand finals which is a lot.

Didn't we sack him?

I don't understand why we would look at Buckley. Didn't he fail at Collingwood?

Great news for us, now we can pick whoever we want to coach

He seems interested to me. I'm calling it. Longmire will be our next coach.

I don't think top four in two years is realistic. We have a lot of problems and it's unlikely they can be fixed that quickly particularly considering players like Gawn, May and Melksham are close to the end.

It's not a "no"

I also like the idea of bringing in a coaching team. Collingwood did it with McRae, Leppitsch and Bolton.

I think we have a much longer list of problems compared to Carlton

No one knows if Longmire is mentally ready to coach again

I just accepted that I'll never see a premiership in my lifetime...then Goodwin came along

The best assistant coach

Buckley had a game style that was too conservative. That style won't work today

I'll be barracking for Carlton so Voss survives and we can pick whoever we want

Yes you can interview assistant coaches while their club's season is still going

I doubt it because we may be competing with Carlton

Please look at all candidates equally. The fact that a candidate is a former player is irrelevant.
