Is Buckley A Good Coach?

[jathanas]

The senior coach is an important club figure and a legitimate topic of discussion. It's fair to do so and everyone has a right to express their view.

The mod team observed that the thread was dominated by a few protagonists and their points were repeated i.e. 8 years of regression vs marked improvement in 17,18 etc Pretty much everyone with a strong opinion has already expressed it here.

What further degraded discussion was the simplistic "sack FIGJAM" or "he's a legend" type posts.

This thread will remain open. If your view has slightly shifted or you have new thoughts please share. In an effort to encourage quality discussion repetitive statements and circular arguments will from now on be deleted as will silly posts suggesting that we sack a coach on match-day.

That's comforting
There's nothing new to add, just sit back and wait for a decision to be be made.

Each week adds more to the tale.

dont think it needs anymore words

This is beyond a joke, this is exactly why we don’t kick goals.

Think it was Brown in middle of the ground, totally free, where do you reckon he kicked it? Sideways 20m to Grundy who was surrounded by 3 Geelong players.

 

[AndrewShawble]

Another goalless qtr.

How anyone can watch these past couple of games and still think the issue is the list and not Buckley is beyond me. The players are so confused and inept at postitive ball movement.

Its both

We have a horrid list through years of burnt/wasted picks/salary cap forcing players out

And we have a horrid game plan.

But it’s not Buckley’s instructions to go wide. At least that what his disciples say.

But the players LURRRRRVE Buckley.

Surely that's all that matters.

If we resign buckley we will have our lowest membership signups in sometime

De Goey had the ball in the exact same spot last week with a 1 on 1 ahead and space everywhere. Did the same thing, kicked it sideways and ended any opportunity for getting the ball quick inside fwd50.

It’s a nothing game style that today has produced 0 goals in a half of footy, goalless quarters are our team identity

 

[stormskye]

I’m sure graham Wright is enjoying this coaching Masterclass

 

[pieman123]

Still waiting for a change in the thread title, answer is no

 

[Doc1763]

Sack him at half time

That would then mean he can't coach them or is failing at coaching them then.

 

[TradeDraft]

Needs go to ASAP as he keeps making us Worse

 

[GreekLunatic]

He needs to go the move of magden as a foward is enough proof

 

[BringouttheGimp]

If Buckley had access to move the ball sideways all the way to Punt Rd.. he'd be rapped I reckon re.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Needs to stand-down/be removed at the bye.

Untenable.

No... You are right... It is the first time in AFL history that a club has been able to pick an entire playing list where it is every players playing instinct to go backwards, or stop, hold up play then kick sideways, rinse and repeat

 

[nahnah]

The worst coach we’ve had in my time following the club (we’ve had 2).

 

[TradeDraft]

Hope Cats Flog Us so we can get rid of our Idiot Coaches

 

[GatesOfHell]

This can’t go on surely.
He has to go.

 

[NMBB]

This can’t go on surely.
He has to go.

You've got Pert, you can have Buckley.

 

[Matt_352]

SACK HIM

 

[GreekLunatic]

We had to give away a half to play good footy
