Am impressed with the acumen of Smith.

Yes... it's called contingency planning.

They're handy.. I do miss 🤔

My Wife, most Bros/sisters in law (including one ex Pie player )...all Filth. Amount of msgs in last 5 days regarding Football = 0 , Zilch, Nada .... I actually find that hilarious

Quite fascinating to read all the 'pros' and 'cons'. Im not entirely convinced he the very best option, but neither am I convinced he isn't. Im going to think that quite possibly his stint away from the job will have done himself a power of good. He's older, wiser and a lot more circumspect in my opinion. From the occasional listening to him, granted not that often ( but don't listen/watch many footy shows) he seems very well versed in where footy is..Thats as big plus. Im fairly certain he hasn't JUST been sounded out. I think youll find someone(s) at the club have had a few 'hypothetical' type chats to a number of 'identities' . Will he be selected 🤔 🤷‍♂️ Is he the very best option 🤔 🤷‍♂️ Are there numerous options (really ) 🤔 🤷‍♂️ Can we afford to stuff around too much ? No If Bucks was picked would he bring enthusiasm and hunger to the club 🤔.. Truckloads I reckon. We've lacked hunger since 21. Bucks is a bloke with unfinished business.. Reckon he'd hit the ground not just running.... but galloping. He'll understand there's not a second to waste. Is he the ideal candidate... candidate , most definitely. He knows what he's doing , probably has already started working on how he'll do it. Most importantly really, sounds like he actually wants the job. Not a bad thing. He's been in an ideal position to watch us critically, as well as the other 17 clubs. When first suggested I nearly chucked !! Then I engaged brain. I'd be very interested in who are any and all other genuine contenders. I'd be very interested to know what the entire Coaching/Football dept would look like. I think Buckley ver 2.0 would be a vast improvement on the original. Im not closed to the idea. All that said it doesn't matter 1 iota what I think. Bloody intrigued as to how this plays out. Looking forward ( well, atm ) to Footy 26. We'll be different.. How 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Yes credit to the Weagles for the win.. Sheed probably couldn't replicate that kick... what a pearler... Bucks was far from disgraced.... bit unlucky but only ever one winner. ( but shame it wasn't the Pies ... yuck yuck yuck )

Someone understood 😉

Going to be ?

I doubt he was ever really in

Just a joke... Put Newcombe in Red and Blue and he gets 3 plus weeks... Convince me otherwise !!

Maybe they have. Horse seemed very coy ( and others have expressed the idea he's unlikely to uproot from Sydney...presently ) Daly might prefer life up north and eventually the Lions gig. All speculation

First time ?

I don't disagree... I was just asking the question. :😀

It's 7.14.. yack away .....

Im not making a case for or against... but i think his time at the Pies was somewhat coloured. The result of a supposedly amicable transition from Malthouse...except Mickey wasn't in reality that enthused about handing over. I think the Buckley of that experience/experiment was a different fella from the Buckley now. Just my thoughts

Aare you allowed to talk out of school ??

Yes... that swing man component is indeed intriguing.

The same McVee we want to re-sign ? Asking for a friend

About 11/12 i think... but only a 6 or 7 full games. He hasn't had a good run at it imo. He may never ar Melb. I still suspect he might move clubs when the Circus comes to town.

Without doubt its a bit cute time-frame wise. But footy can move quickly.. Going to be interesting.... well, already is .

Do we necessarily have to play follow the leader ? I.e. just because their fwd isn't super tall !! Keep in mind Adams is very very quick , especially for his size. Just a curiosity on my part .

You would want to hope that we are 😉 Would be nice to have a home.....again

Tommy is listed... not on bench. Not him

I think a lot, well.. some folk might be buying into the idea we are only NOW canvassing options. Logically to me you would not move on a coach until you have 'some' idea of who and what is available and when. There would have been arms length enquiries prior to the 'dismissal' ... now they bring things in and ramp up. You're going to want the nucleus of your Football Honchos sorted by/or immediately after the big dance.

I can only think TC was an 'in case of emergency break glass' thinking. ( for MG )
