Really warming to the idea of Buckley as a senior coach. Think his time away from the game has done hime the world of good and I think he may enjoy coaching away from Melbourne. I wonder if he'd ever put his hand up again.
I really enjoy listening to Buckley too and of all the ex coaches think he’d make a fantastic coach again and certainty wouldn’t be against him returning to Brisbane to get that elusive flag.

Would make a nice redemption arc
He said one night on the couch that there are 17 jobs he is not interested in but Tasmania held some appeal. I took that as it was Tassie or the Pies, sadly.

The best football panelist on air, and always has a smile in his eyes. I don't think he needs the stress of coaching again.

I actually get the feel that Buckley is still one of those guys that's a better assistant than head coach. He's clearly one of the smarter students of the game but just not convinced he has the people management ability for the top role. I'm not saying I wouldn't welcome him as an assistant just not sure I'd chase him for the head role

Tonight feels like the end of the line for this window
It has an ominous feeling or we might have a lull for a few years and hope we can bounce again like Swans and Cats.

Our match thread would look like the GWS board though.

Fages looked like he was fighting back tears at the start of the press conference. We are so lucky to have him

I love Fages, and do not want to lose him. But we have to admit that tactically, we were completely out coached last night. We desperately need some tactical nouse in the coaching box.
We have no plan B. I hope Dew stays around and we can work out a few alternatives in the off season.
But for now… onwards and upwards! Life is good

Weren't the Giants also out coached even more so last night?
Sometime I wonder if this "we need a plan B" or "Fagan has no plan B" is a troll but I assume you are being genuine Darren.
It seems to be the default thing to say when things aren't going our way. This group has won the most amount of games over the past 6 years, there are only minor improvements or changes that they can make. I doubt there is a team that has ever had a clear plan A and B and had all players in the squad capable of playing it to a level that no one is a point of weakness. Perhaps we need a plan B to get on top of our goal kicking accuracy but that's for next season.
A number of teams, us, Hawks and Giants have very particular game styles. We have shown we can play a kick long down the line and repeat stoppage game a lot over the last few years, not so much this year. We're clearly all about the uncontested mark, switch and go quick style. Last night we changed a little bit around the contest from what Lachie said but still played a lot of quick uncontested marks when we had momentum. Our game plan seems to be working pretty well since mid season against everyone. Why make a big tactical change?

Wtf are you in about. We literally executed a plan B and made the comeback. Just because you don't see it, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
