Player 'Mix up' (Mayne recruitment) and Collingwood's playling list management issues

[Captivating]

The Mayne deal makes me feel better about the Vickery deal...

It shouldn't.

Vickery turned you into Richmond and you missed the finals while the Tiges have taken your Top 4 spot.

Mayne just helped the Pies continue to be mediocre.

 

[JackFlash]

F**king lol.

Pretty sure most people deflect and reduce of absolve themselves of responsibility or negative culpability whenever there's an opportunity to babyface themselves and make things look better. It's not some unusual situation or rare pathology. That's half the problem with society.

It certainly isn't this week with Eddie's re-appointment of Bucks...he's never going to admit to any wrong doing or mistake at Collingwood. Eddie is an expert at deflection, an expert of just making it all going away... until that carpet is bulging!

 

[King Brown]

Ps. I'm sure his deal at WC was to continue on as an assistant coach anyway.

His two year contract as assistant coach ends the same time as Buckley's new contract.

 

[Stefan_Carey]

Seriously for the last 2 years his default plan of action is - blame the forward line and his first action after being re-signed is to preemptively blame a forward.

Early in the year he said something to the effect of - "We haven't won with him in the side (referring to Ben Reid - a forward) so we'll have to look at that". Last year he seemed to get joy out of trashing Cloke and complaining about forward pressure.

I mean does anyone believe Buckley when he says he wasn't part of the decision process? It has his fingerprints all over it. He probably thought Mayne could win games on his own much like he believes Reid can lose them all on his own

Doesn't surprise me he would be willing to blame others for the mistake, fits in with his coaching philosophy of the individual is much much bigger than the team, an extension of his philosophy as a player

Darcy Moore hates Buckley is the talk and will be seeking a trade. Any truth in that rumor?

 

[Freofalcon]

We Freo fans always suspected they thought they were getting Mundy.

Eddie never could tell the difference between the two when commentating our games.

David Mundy you say, Eddie. Nice one brother




Why is Chris Mayne here wearing a Pies jumper?




**** you Eddie, you dumb campaigner.

It's not ideal but what's out there isn't something most people can't already guess at. He's played VFL the entire year most can get an idea of what the coach thinks from that what Buckley said doesn't change anything. Unfortunately with being an AFL player there is a public pressure to perform. If he didn't want to accept the pressure he shouldn't have accepted the contract.

You're still missing the point. He accepted the contract because both parties were invested. His form came after the fact, then your coach comes out and says it was a mistake recruiting you, publicly. It's not about him coping with the pressure of playing AFL football, it's about whether or not you're wanted. It's pretty common practice to tell a player they aren't wanted behind closed doors, then they're delisted or traded.

It's not common practice to say 'we made a mistake recruiting you' in public. You're basically conceding as the coach that you majorly stuffed up, and saying it publicly is worse!

 

[STFU Donnie]

Yep

Funny though if he did he would be potted for it relentlessly though and everyone would be calling him an overpaid hack taking attention away from the point. Like what others are doing potting Buckley's coaching when it's got little to do with Mayne.

Are we talking about Buckley or Mayne?

I heard that a year ago.....

 

[Borussia Teeth]

I feel like Adolf Hitler

Yeah my cousin told me last week. Interesting if any truth in it.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah my cousin told me last week. Interesting if any truth in it.

It wouldn't surprise me, Buckley's game plan whatever that is doesn't seem to suit key forwards, Travis Cloke went backwards after Buckley took over.

Mayne

Just fired up in the VFL final. Camera finds bucks in the crowd

He hasn't done anything to warrant being wanted. It might suck a little that it's public but what's out there isn't anything out of the ordinary or disrespectful.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

I would expect the AFLPA to have taken great interest in Buckley's humiliation of Mayne and will not be surprised if they take this up with the Pies.

The AFL will take great interest in how McGuire et al propose to fix their TPP and the Mayne contract. I doubt the AFL will wear the player retiring for $300k and then being contracted to the Footy Show for the next three years for $1.2M.

Your coach saying his recruitment was a mistake is unprofessional. End of story. Do it in a board meeting.

Missed a critical goal as well, but had a great last quarter

 

[Jimthegreat]

Buckley is showing a distinct lack of accountability......this is just a disgraceful episode. Is it any wonder Colloingwood are where they are on field at the moment, Buckley most likely has not made one mistake in his own eyes. Destined for another two years of finger pointing I expect.

"Side by side we stand together" should have an asterisk and some terms and conditions listed below it.

You mean "slide by slide"?

Yeah my cousin told me last week. Interesting if any truth in it.

All true. He hates Bucks that much he took him up on the offer to travel to the US with him late last year to vist US sporting organisations. He also posted this cryptic message of social media 2 days ago "it was so cool to play 21 games in this jumper. Wow. We'll be back ready to reach higher in season 2018" I think he was talking about his new club.

Hmmm interesting... Perhaps his account was hacked and he was kidnapped??

Sounds completely made up out of thin air.

How about a journalist asks the question to Darcy point blank?

 

[irish]

What a shit show Collingwood must be ! How could you commit to that much money without doing due dilagence
Or some form of accountability or at least a sign off from the board

Another Stuff up that rests with big Ed. time to go
