When Gerrard Healy asked Mike Sheahan and Robert Walls if Buckley will/should play on next season, both didn't object.
I know they wouldn't know a thing about Buckley and what is happening in the inner sanctions of the Collingwood FC but they're both rather negative of the Magpies so I would've expected them to at least suggest he retire.
But both seemed upbeat that he CAN go around for another season because of a lack of match time this year.
Its a promising sign, but if his body holds up for the rest of the season, (and realistically, with our coaching staff being so cautious with him) which it should, then he can definitely have his fairwell tour in 2008. Hopefully a lot less interupted.
The only reason he will announce his retirement this season would be if he is holding up the cup on that last day in September.
Lets think about it for a second, if he wasn't going to play next year, then why would he be bothering with so many torn hamstrings this year? Either he thinks we are trully a genuine chance to win the Premiership in 2007, or he has already decided he wants to go again in '08 if he made it back in '07.
