OFFT, imagine being Adelaide and taking over from Melbourne as the worst finals playing team. Enjoy the crown 👑

Buckley - process moved “too quickly” for him. Any slower and he would be a senior citizen.

The thing I’m interested in now, how Buckley saved face.. He will no doubt mention the issues he saw in the club and that it wasn’t a good fit, and mention Tasmania.

The only thing I somewhat am worried about is his health, after he collapsed last year, and it was ruled possibly down to workload and stress… I’m so hopeful that whatever happened was a once off and he’s feeling tip top.

Good luck, Fingers crossed for you and the team. @demoand, can you put up a post about his background and stats etc. few won’t know enough about him.

Oldest club in the AFL… they didn’t email… They’re too classy for that. He received a scroll via carrier pigeon.

Bucks apparently couldn’t answer the question “if we offered you the job right now, would you take it” Stranger that Buckley would rather coach an imaginary team than the oldest club in the AFL. His loss.

I’m only unhappy because Caro got her way.

It’s not misinformation if they were told something that doesn’t come true. You’d have to prove they knew it wasn’t true. This is a forum where really, 99.95% of people on here are not in the loop and speculate.

Funny isn’t it. I have never used it to communicate. Only to ask it random questions instead of Google.

Would any of the runners up be likely to be appointed and take an assistant role to whoever gets head coach? How much say does the head coach have in his assistants?

It’s not though, the number one pick cost Geelong nothing and we paid out the [censored] for a broken player who’s done nothing and will do nothing for us. It’s a great comparison. Because he’s stating how poor we are at recruitment. This perfectly displays his point.

spot on. I’d have added them both in, and mcadam.

Tell you what, never been more excited and nervous for this club. Waiting on a new coach, and then probably a fair few list changes. 🙏🏻

The face of someone who just [censored] in someone’s sandwich

Quite liked his responses, shut down the questions, stuck to his guns, clearly has a plan and won’t be going away from that.

What hasn’t he done out of curiosity? I just knew his body was cooked.

I’m super curious if the 5 person bench goes ahead, what will our 5th player be? All rounder? Another big? Speedster? Every time will do different things and have plans, wonder what we run with?

That’s fine. I’d take him over a fair few of our players if I’m honest. Sparrow. Sharp. Kolt. List goes on. The effort he gives along with his ability to complete simple plays I rate him above them. Is he elite? No. But does he work his butt off? Yes.

Get rid of Mcadam. Has played [censored] all football since being picked up in AFL system. His body is broken and he’s a waste of money. Bring in a kid, or simple save the money and pick up a mature age recruit. Look at Aiden Johnson, dudes a jet, works hard, plays hard, kicks straight, tackles and does ruck. I’d have him 100 times before the likes of Mcadam.

Unsure mate. Didn’t notice that one.

So, say young JVR or any of the second rucks punch the ball out of bounds on a throw in… the other team gets a free?

They’re bafoons. No clue on who would take them serious. If Buckley said yes to them, then my belief on him being super knowledgeable and a footy expert is clearly wrong. Imagine trying to lure a coach when you have no stadium, no players, no assistants, no sponsors, and no support.

I call bull. There’s no chance a person is going to put themselves through the judgement, scorn and opinions of everyone for a job they’re not interested in. If bucks wasn’t interested, he would have bowed out. He would have joined the likes of Longmire, Simpson etc. That may still happen. I’m skeptical to think he’s put himself through this entire process, to then be asked questions on 360 and radio about the process, how keen he is, if he wasn’t interested. I think this is clickbait until proven otherwise.

Disgusting isn’t it. That’s the modern game. Ginnovan led that charge.
