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.

Game plans depend on the cattle you have on the ground, hard to replace if the cupboard is bare.

Good coaches create a game plan based around the cattle you have.

Would luck come into it?
Our draw in 2018 was kind and we also lost some of our great players in that season due to injury.

Then it goes back to the cattle aren't good enough unless he could think, kick and mark it for them.

He was, and still would be if he chose to do it again. He’d make an ideal coach for the Suns.

Unfortunately the facts prove that Buckley has no gameplay in order to ever succeed as an AFL coach !!!!

There are no such facts suggesting he can’t coach, what utter drivel.
