Seems accurate enough to me, carry on.
 
Just read Robbos article as I admitted I was nervous about it to Gimpy the other night.

Have a read of the following.......

“From the beginning, when he agreed to play for North Melbourne, ended up at Brisbane, and then departed for Collingwood after 12 months, he has and still remains one of the most intriguing and conversed figures in football.”

You’re a ****wit Robbie how you’re still a journalist is bewildering to me.

By the way guys/gals don’t waste your time reading it.

I don't suppose the article comes paired with a photo of Robbo clutching a bottle of whiskey in one hand, and a shovel in the other, as he digs himself deeper and deeper towards an early retirement?

It was just a nothing article. I expected to see his usual click bait antics but instead this was just a really pointless opinion piece. To summarise "If Collingwood does well this year, Buckley will be lauded. If they don't, he won't". Riveting stuff.

Really bad article not surprising is it Saintly?

Expected.

He is one of least liked and respected “journalists” in the business.
Also a poor writer.
And never has original thoughts.

He hates Bucks as he always makes him look like an uneducated fool which he is how he holds his position as a journalist is mind boggling I've an unhealthy hatred of him admittedly

Thanks for posting CFC, and I wont read it. But that wont stop me having a view on it.:p

Robbo's going even lower with this one? Is it just anti-Bucks diatribe, with no new insights, or news for that matter? Has the Hun, Robbo and so-called football journalism reached these depths, that couching a personal attack on an individual is seen as an article worthy of printing?

I dont expect you to answer these questions. I already know the answers. And it's just me venting on the morning of the beginning of a new era for the Pies.:D

I cant stand Robbo.

Only way to prove them wrong is win more games.

Effort and training is not a big concern for me though. Rarely walk out from the G wishing we tried harder. The skill level/ability of players and tactics / coaching has been more of a frustration for me.

We won more games and won a premiership in 2010. It didnt shut them up.

Clearly BROWN failed to understand the reason for the low intensity - and that alone shows he is not a very insightful analyst.
Gerad Healy or Whately, would have covered every base and sought an explanation for the low intensity, and uncovered the intra club match as the reason. But Browny, makes an ill-informed assessment and thereby just reinforces that he lacks the rigour to be an insightful let alone influential analyst.

Of even more concern however are the BF posters who, have immediately sided with him, to further pot the club.

You guys have NFI.

Its not failure to understand, its failure to bother to investigate basic facts.

He got whet he wanted, that sentence or two has been used all week by SEN as a promotional grab.

I read it again this morning as I get the hard copy of the Age and the HS on the weekends.

Another funny part was him quoting his "colleague" Whateley on Bucks.

He is using his colleague for material because he has seriously burnt his bridges with Bucks and our Club.

That will be the last article I will be reading of his..........typical scum building up something which was really a nothing article.

Nathan Buckley at a turning point entering seventh season as Collingwood coach

TWO scenarios present themselves for Collingwood and Nathan Buckley on day one of his seventh season in charge.

His reappointment at the end of last season for two more years will either be a hazardous decision with widespread consequences or the turning point in what could be one of the most extraordinary stories in AFL history.


Bad stories make headlines.

Good stories make history.

If Buckley can reverse the downward spiral, get the Magpies into the finals and — don’t shake your head — win the premiership this year or next, it will be Buckley’s greatest achievement in football, notwithstanding his absolutely brilliant playing career.

That the narrative is about Buckley and not his players on the eve of Round 1 against Hawthorn, which Buckley has noted, shouldn’t surprise anyone including himself.

From the beginning, when he agreed to play for North Melbourne, ended up at Brisbane, and then departed for Collingwood after 12 months, he has and still remains one of the most intriguing and conversed figures in football.

And why is that? Maybe it’s jealousy. Maybe it was his unrelenting quest to get the best out of himself as a player, which for a time created a perception he was more “I” than “team”. Maybe people just don’t like his demeanour, or his insatiable standards of professionalism, or maybe they just don’t like Collingwood, where Buckley has devoted his AFL career.

He survived last year and good on him, but even he would probably concede if his name wasn’t Nathan Buckley, he wouldn’t be a getting a seventh and eighth season.

He arguably got the job again because of his profile — and Eddie McGuire’s desire to see the Malthouse-Buckley handover succeed. But, at the same time, it’s that profile which makes him the most talked about person in football.

In other words, if he was Mark Neeld or Matthew Knights or Scott Watters, there’s no way he would still be coaching.

And, so, the travails of Bucks begin again.

In fact, some say they have already began.

Colleague Gerard Whateley says the “blood riding” on Buckley from members of the media before a game had been played this year is outrageous.

I disagree because it’s more reality riding.

For most coaches and clubs, when one season ends and another starts, it presents a narrative of hope and expectation.

But for Buckley, who spent much of the 2017 season drowning under the weight of results from last year and previous seasons and the subsequent commentary, the new season has only allowed him to come up for air.

All coaches are under pressure, but Buckley, fairly or unfairly, does carry the torch for fierce examination.

Buckley knows that. He’s known it for 25 years.
Asked this week by Whateley if he thinks people are waiting for him to fail, Buckley said: Always.

Another question which arguably is more to the point is: Does he think people are waiting for him to succeed?

The answer, of course, is yes.

There are a million Collingwood fans who want him to nail this. There are others who know him to be a caring, funny, intelligent person who simply want the worm to turn for him.

Clearly, we are seeing a different Buckley this year.

He says he won’t get caught up in the “outside noise”. It means he won’t respond to every observation made about Collingwood. For example, Jonathan Brown’s attack on training standards at the one session Brown was at was irrelevant according to Buckley.

Commentary of Jordan De Goey’s suspension? Irrelevant, says Buckley.

Whether he should play Darcy Moore as a defender, Mason Cox as full-forward, rejig his midfield and halfbacks? All irrelevant, says Buckley.

Simply, football will do Collingwood’s talking this year and Buckley will bite his tongue.

He probably hopes Eddie will follow suit and avoid unnecessary headlines. But Ed being the passionate man he is, as well as being conflicted by his roles in the media, that might be wishful thinking.

On Saturday night the Pies meet Hawthorn and already Buckley is cursed.

There are issues about Buckley’s game plan, and why his midfield can sabotage the ball, but I can’t remember a coach who has been savaged by player injuries as Buckley has been across several seasons.

Alex Fasolo (form), Tyson Goldsack (ACL), Levi Greenwood (knee), Jamie Elliott (ankle) and De Goey (hamstring) are all starting 18 players who will miss Round 1.

De Goey would have played if not for his injury. The “indefinite” ban for drink-driving would have been over; the media would have howled and Buckley would have said, again, it’s irrelevant.

The missing players puts pressure on those playing, and that’s a good thing.

Because while Buckley commands attention for the man he is and his results as coach, the players must also face examination.

Perhaps it’s time they do the talking, starting this weekend, to set the ball rolling from ordinary to the extraordinary.
