Yeah, nah. I base my thoughts on evidence, thorough investigations and consistency.
To allow the public assassination of someone and their entire livelihoods and disregard their entire life history based on the word of a single individual - and then also assume the worst scenario - is a recipe for disaster and potential ammunition by a lot of people with ulterior motives - which there has been proven to be. This goes for both men, and women.
And why was it withdrawn? Who knows. But when people usually bring up accusations like that, you expect the matter to be transferred to the police so that it can be thoroughly investigated and evidence and people can be cross-examined, as to which case it wasn't.
However that is a topic for another thread. Fact of the matter is - your chaos way of thinking is not the norm and I am quite happy it isn't - not just because it could potentially devaluate the integrity of true events that make it to an investigation - but also because any one of us can be privy to such life-destroying chaos regardless of gender or race.

id forgot about that, was a bad moment for him as well as the lamumba stuff too
Feel for Bucks but geez he handled his departure well today.
I like Buckley, hope he is picked up somewhere in a footy capacity as he has lots to offer.
When was it withdrawn? Freo reportedly paid her out $100,000.
100k is a lot of money. People make mistakes I’ll fully agree with that but you do not put someone in charge of an organisation after that type of issue.
Sorry to break it to you but it’s not chaos thinking it’s how society works. All the push about Lyon just wreaks of boys club bs. But I’ll agree that’s it’s getting off topic so will just leave it there. We can agree to disagree. Cheers have a good day

With Buckley people will believe what they want to believe. Probably more realistic to split his coaching career into different periods.
At the start when he was green he imposed his own high standards too strictly, and cut a lot of talented guys who still wanted to let their hair down. With hindsight, Buckley prob would admit he should have handled that differently, and been more accommodating to a range of personalities, and he might have been able to squeeze out a flag.
in the middle period, he turned into a very good coach. Learnt from Malthouse how to get his boys up for big games like few others could - if you watch how ‘on’ his players were in their prelim against Richmond in 18, or against WC in Perth last year, you cannot tell me this guy can’t coach. He overachieved in those years with a list with some big deficiencies and smart recruiting to fill gaps. He was also very smart tactically - it was always very impressive watching the pies live those years, in terms of how they set up. From memory he was the only coach other than Hardwick win a final 4 years in a row around this time.
the Treloar and Stephenson debacle and on field this year was a sad end. The list management stuff was absolutely not a problem of his making, it was the the failure of other people at the club. But,As a team man, Bucks put his hand up to try to do his bit to help, which involved pushing those two out the door. Unfortunate all round.
also unfortunate was the Heretier stuff. I am extremely sympathetic to Adam Goodes and believe he was a victim of racism. In Heretier’s case I am convinced that he has a histrionic personality disorder, which left Bucks in a hard spot, trying to deal seriously with the question of racism at his club, but doing so by having to respond to a professional victim.
Overall I think he became an excellent coach, although in his first years he undoubtedly underachieved and had to learn to modify his approach, which he did

Pendles will certainly relinquish Captaincy to Darcy Moore now.
Crazy how quickly everything fell apart post 2019.
And it didn't need to. AT ALL.

Well he is smart.
Agree. The club imo needs to move on from the McGuire era in a better way than how Carlton moved on from the Elliot era & Richmond moving on from the Graeme Richmond era. Full clean out. New start , new coach, new captain. It’s 2021 not 1986. The game has changed dramatically from the head honcho walking the corridors barking orders. The Richmond football club is a very good example of this.

Just from a timing standpoint, could this not have waited a week so that it didn't take the focus off of the Big Freeze?
Now, this week is going to be about Nathan rather than Neale.

Good time to go for the club’s sake you’d think. At least his tenure won’t be a distraction for the board challenge.
He’s too good not to be in footy circles. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended as a senior assistant or senior coach again.

Wont be a distraction, if anythings adds. Right time to resign, had a nice win last weekend. Wait another week and have a big loss to the Dees - would look very much like he was pushed.
He has come to the realisation that the climb back to the top for the Pies will take 4 years minimum and he just doesn't have that desire to put up with all the shit that he'll have to cop along the way.
And really, the players did execute in grand finals, bar some bad goalkicking in 2013.
But 2009 the result was 50-50 in the H&A & GF (Saints with a 6 point win in reg, Cats with a 6 point lead at the final siren in the GF), and 2010 the Pies and Saints both had 1 good win each in the H&A season.
2013 the Dockers were up against it, goalkicking hurt but they kicked poor in all finals that year.
Lyons style stood up well enough, he just ran into 3 of the greatest offensive teams that also had good defensive play, while going all-in whilst there which meant the bottoming out period was tougher.
Can you read?
