Not nonsense Mame but childish petulance which after all apart from accepting presentation flags from daddy AFL is the only thing they are any good at.

Yeah, I need to relax. It's just another reminder that the trade is not being done between Collingwood BF and Brisbane BF, and that in the end we just love bangin' on about it :D

Fancy a coach sticking up for his players and club and supporters. Terrible of him!! We can't have that. Get a grip. If Buckley had said something similar you would all be calling him a hero.

No excuses for being unprofessional when you're meant to be sitting at the negotiating table.

FWIW many of us weren't happy with Ed making a snide remark about Brisbane's offer to Beams ... for the same reason.

Personally I don't have a problem with it.
He's responding via the medium that a lot of these rumours start from, as he's probably sick of being asked.
I found it humorous and the bit about Pendles was just to illustrate a point.
As far as all the digs about 5 players leaving last year; its irrelevant they sacked that coach.
I think everyone needs to relax a little, they've got until 5pm let's wait and see what happens.

Can we please stop with all the "O"posts, he simply used the guys nickname, no harm in that either.

Anzac just a bit of fun on the o posts-yep he did just use a guys nickname and no harm. But geez he's a banjo playing bogan and no harm that a few posters are having fun with it?
Can't believe he didn't pick up robo :) from Carlton, he'd fit right in

I'm sick of them using the GH5 as an excuse not to trade a kid. They did everything they could to keep them but failed. What, are they going to ban all such trading because they lost 5 young players because their culture was so $#!+? Are they really going to convince themselves that parting with one of them isn't worth getting a home grown, BnF in prelim playoff team, AA, premiership player in Beams. Sick to death of that nonsense.

We are all jumping to conclusions and the trade period, (nor our deadline) hasn't expired.
He might be under attack from his supporters, (not that I care) and has to post something to appease all the tweeters, (again not my problem).
They also might be realising they've bitten off more than they can chew, (thought we'd fall for the emotional card).
Until it's known that both clubs have agreed to walk away from discussions it's just a whole lot of guesswork and name calling which I think is a waste of time.
Guesswork is fine/fun by the way

McCartney looks like he might retire, wonder what that means for Griffen? I'd love GWS to come to the party if they lost him.

I can see both sides in this. Had a laugho at Leppo's commentos. It was a shot at how crazy the media and people get with regards to unsubstantiated player movement rumours. But at the same time, if he is willing to be flippant about Collingwood players, that tells me that a trade is unlikely to occur at this stage. Oh well, let's hope GC are willing to play. 8 + Lonergan + 29. Done deal, Suns.

Too much professionalism on Buckley's side of the fence to be be commenting on sensitive trade negotiations via social media. Same goes for Eade and Hine. Nothing more to be said on the matter really.

Amatuer is amatuer however you spin it Anzac, its not the words but the immaturity and total lack of professionalism that finishes it for me.

Funny initially.
Joke's dead - maybe it's just me; have fun with it

Leppa was just demonstrating how easy it is to start a rumour, but seeing how you guys responded goes to show how much this guy means to you, to that I say good on you you have every right. If someone talked about my family like that id come out guns blazing as well.
Pandles is one of those players that makes you hate a team less, you cant help but admire him.

'Extend the deadline' said no one ever. Over this. Keep beama, watch brisbane continue to be the joke they are


No brisbane fan should comment here until they answer the question: would you accept pick 5 and 25 for rockliff?

If he requested a trade, yes I would. I wouldn't want anyone at my team who doesn't want to be there (5 of them got traded last year).

Looks like frustration creeping in. Both teams playing hardball. Personally I am loving it. Have to say Collingwood have played it very well but as long as they are happy to accept keeping him. Some people's reactions are a bit funny though.

Calling our team shit doesn't mean anything, we have made the finals once since 2006, I think I am well used to it by now.

Enjoy the day!
