And the boilovers continue.

Incredibly, the Pies 6 goals up vs the Crows with half time approaching.

I wonder in that seals FIGJAM's fate?

How good was McGoverns mark?

Don't think so. That's more of a tick than a cross.

I think the players are playing for Buckley still , it's more a players list that's struggling, no big forwards and no big backs, he got rid of Cloke Witts and a few others for mids , if he can pick up some decent talls they will be hard to beat.
I don't think he will get the flick.

It shouldn't. He's a good coach in my view.

They dumb arse shouldn't have bothered coaching Collingwood.

I'd love to know what this means

Ha.

Bucks should have known he was on a hiding to nothing career wise by coaching Collingwood. He should have done one or two more seasons there as an assistant and moved on to another club where he could have had an impact without worrying about a legacy.

He's really smart, and actually becoming more and more humble as the days go by. I think he could have been an excellent coach, but instead, he's been a victim of the horse manure Eddie has ensured that club has been eating for half a decade since Bucks took the job on.

I agree he should have gone to other clubs and learnt different clubs strengths/ weaknesses etc. Hird, Voss and him are proof you can't come in and coach without experience at other clubs , you must do an apprenticeship first no matter how good a player you were.

Buckley is a smart guy but he needs to get away from Collingwood pronto. McGuire has been disastrous for Collingwood if you look at the big picture. Biggest and one of the wealthiest clubs for a long time but that has not been translated into sustained on-field success. Compare them to Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney - they come up short. McGuire's decision to bring back Gubby Alan, whilst knowing the history the drug use cover up scandal at GWS, was reckless.
