THe point is that we can't have threads everytime we win a game that say "Buckley is the Messiah...sucked in Malthouse"....and we can't have threads everytime we lose stating "Sack Buckley".
The same thread seems to get bumped every week. I refer to the one about "Eat Sh$& Buckley haters". Whenever we lose someone bumps it to say they were right...and whenever we win it is bumped to say someone else was right.
A good supporter is able to acknowledge the good with the bad and make positive contributions and discussions.
This year was clearly not the overwhelming success we had hoped...but it is also far from a write off. I think we did take a step back, but I think we will take 2 giant steps forward if we can stay healthy and work on a few areas such as skill and fitness. It may turn out to be the year we needed to have.
That doesn't mean we blindly follow Buckley. He is rightfully under pressure to deliver now. But I think taking into account everything, we are well placed now to make an assault on 2014.
Broadly agree with the sentiment. To have an honest appraisal you need to look at all factors including coaching.
A disaster isn't attributed to one event, rather its the accumulation of a series of missteps.
