Just maybe the light has finally turned on, Pies won’t stand for half arsed performance any longer and he could be in firing line, who else would give him the deal he is on for his regular ordinariness. He never turns up week after week and controls games a la Pendlebury, such a disappointment and list mgt n coaches got sucked in hook line and sinker

Davo fair dinkum first quarter, that grub McLoughlin mumbles “Melbourne FINALLY get their second” like it was supposed to be inevitable?
Also, isn’t it good to be wrong for a change? How was the win for you today chief?
Played 2 years ago definitely. Not sure now.
I still think he’ll be a premiership coach. So long as that club isn’t Carlton, Essendon, Richmond or Melbourne, I might be ok with it.
I reckon he’ll be coaching the next expansion team.
Maybe a tosser.....
Alot of Robbo's comments about Collingwood come from a hatred for our club. Like the comments he made about Fasolo when he was suffering from mental health issues. Since those comments Bucks and the club in general, has had a huge dislike for Robbo....
Just popped in to say I love Nathan Buckley. We have made a huge mistake. He should be staying. Wrapt with the win that says it all, the coach never lost the players and some supporters and media have a lot to answer for.
I thought he was one of several players who started slowly then became very effective after the first quarter - also McCreery, Cameron and Moore.
He is a polarising figure due to things he said as a 20 year old (FFS people are dumb) and the fact the he has been associated with Collingwood for so long.
Wonder how many club boards will be a touch hesitant to give him another crack due to the dribblers in their ranks and membership.

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
This x 1,000. If Bucks has a main failing, it’s that he couldn’t get us playing like this more often.

i think he clearly beat Gawn at centre bounces. Some of his tap work around the ground was superb. I think a good portion of Gawn's hitouts were against Cameron.
It is not the media or supporters responsible for moving him on. The man we were all so glad to have poached from Hawthorn, Graham Wright, and no doubt other officials at the club made the decision that this would be Buck's last season. Supposedly many of the players had become jaded with the defensive game style, and several ex players also stated a belief that a change in coach was required. Bigfooty and the media did not push him out. In fact, many media personnel thought he should be given an extension. For right or wrong, he is gone now.
I know plenty about the game champ, including that hitout numbers alone aren't everything. He played well but overall Gawn still won the contest, I doubt any recruiters are fapping over him just yet over 1 decent performance. He's certainly not anywhere near competing for Grundy's spot.
Collingwood have produced their best win of the 2021 season in Nathan Buckley's last game as coach to defeat Melbourne by 17 points. The Magpies played a methodical and exhilarating brand of footy to allow Collingwood's forwards to take marks and kick enough goals to shock the Demons in Sydney before the bye. Defensive structures behind the ball also allowed the Woods to take intercept marks and save goals before generating rebounds that resulted in scores, and were able to maintain possession well enough to deny Melbourne any prospect of victory.
Collingwood won their statistical categories from disposals by +38 (395 - 357), kicks were won by +34 (237 - 203), handballs had a margin of +4 (158 - 154), while contested possessions had a differential of +1 (126 - 125), uncontested possessions were up by +34 (257 - 223). Hit-outs were in Collingwood's favour by +7 (33 - 26), +10 for clearances (34 - 24), centre clearances had an advantage of +5 (14 - 9), and stoppage clearances were won by +5 (20 - 15). Uncontested marks were up by +27 (110 - 83), and Marks Inside 50 was +9 (18 - 9). Tackles had a differential of +10 (53 - 43), +10 for Tackles Inside 50 (16 - 6). Melbourne only won two categories from the game. They were intercept possessions by +3 (75 - 72), while Inside 50s had a differential of +7 (54 - 47). Contested Marks (14 each) was the only neutral category.
Jordan De Goey (32 disposals @66%, 447 metres gained, 10 contested possessions, 22 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 17 kicks, 15 handballs, 4 marks, 4 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 3 goal assists, 10 score involvements, 6 clearances, 4 centre clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 5 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) played his best game of the season as a midfielder where he won clearances regularly, laid some tackles, and created numerous opportunities for his team to kick goals.
Scott Pendlebury (31 disposals @ 87%, 275 metres gained, 20 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 12 intercept possessions, 11 kicks, 20 handballs, 2 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 7 score involvements, 5 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 3 stoppage clearances, 3 Inside 50s & 1 goal) displayed trademark poise and composure whenever he gathered the footy. Pendlebury was able to gather cleanly to release handpasses to teammates who were in a better position and had more time to dispose of the footy. This happened all day, and it was an absolute pleasure to watch Pendlebury lead from the front, especially when he went back and nailed an important set shot in the last quarter to give the team a buffer that could not be pegged back. Captain's game of the highest order from Scott Pendlebury, and may that continue for the remainder of the season when Robert Harvey coaches the club.
Steele Sidebottom (21 disposals @ 67%, 326 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 12 kicks, 9 handballs, 7 marks, 5 score involvements, 5 clearances, 3 centre clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 2 Inside 50s & 1 goal) had an extremely sluggish first half, before working his way into the game. Far from perfect from Sidebottom with a number of skill errors, although he kept working hard and put the icing on the cake with the last goal of the game.
Jack Crisp (21 disposals @ 67%, 261 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 12 kicks, 9 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal assist, 5 score involvements, 5 clearances, 5 stoppage
clearances & 5 Inside 50s) competed well in the midfield and was able to minimise the influence of Christian Petracca.
Will Hoskin-Elliott (21 disposals @ 76%, 369 metres gained, 3 contested possessions, 18 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 6 handballs, 13 marks, 2 Marks Inside 50, 5 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 1 goal) played as a winger that constantly provided his team a marking outlet to maintain possession and gain field position. Hoskin-Elliott was able to drift forward to take an uncontested mark against a napping defence and made the Demons pay dearly for it. Hoskin-Elliott has had a reasonable month of footy after being horribly out of form and out of touch as a high-half forward earlier in the season.
Max Lynch (15 disposals @ 80%, 5 contested possessions, 10 uncontested possessions, 23 hit-outs, 4 kicks, 11 handballs, 3 marks, 1 goal assist, 6 score involvements, 2 clearances & 2 stoppage clearances) played above himself to outpoint Max Gawn and Luke Jackson in the first half before drifting out of the game. Some of his work that he did early was amazing.
Brayden Maynard (32 disposals @ 91%, 661 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 25 uncontested possessions, 9 intercept possessions, 26 kicks, 6 handballs, 13 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 4 tackles, 5 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 5 Rebound 50s) produced a dominant display of intercept marking and penetrating rebound off half-back with his booming left foot allowing Collingwood's defence more time to set up behind the ball and responded impeccably when he needed to impact the contest when Melbourne came home like a freight train.
Chris Mayne (25 disposals @ 92%, 212 metres gained, 3 contested possessions, 22 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 14 kicks, 11 handballs, 8 marks, 2 tackles, 5 score involvements & 2 Rebound 50s) provided a marking option at all times when the Pies wanted to slow the game down and Mayne was able to hit targets within his limitations.
John Noble (19 disposals @ 90%, 343 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 15 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 11 kicks, 8 handballs, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 6 score involvements, 2 clearances, 3 Inside 50s & 2 Rebound 50s) gave Collingwood great drive and direction off the last line of defence and was not afraid to take on the corridor when it was on.
Jack Madgen (19 disposals @ 63%, 321 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 15 uncontested possessions, 6 intercept possessions, 12 kicks, 7 handballs, 9 marks, 2 Inside 50s & 6 Rebound 50s) is often a very maligned player at Collingwood. On today's effort, his skills were not up to scratch but his marking in the second half was exceptional. Need to give him credit for that.
Darcy Moore (18 disposals @ 78%, 227 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 13 kicks, 5 handballs, 7 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 5 score involvements & 8 Rebound 50s) had an excellent game in defence where his excellent judgement of marks proved to be vital when Melbourne had field position dominance.
Isaac Quaynor (15 disposals @ 93%, 329 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 8 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 3 Contested Marks, 3 tackles, 3 Inside 50s & 5 Rebound 50s) was very sloppy early before he took charge in the last quarter to take telling marks in general play to thwart the Demons at every opportunity.
Jordan Roughead (11 disposals @ 82%, 113 metres gained, 10 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 5 hit-outs, 9 kicks, 2 handballs, 9 marks, 2 tackles, 4 score involvements & 3 Rebound 50s) complimented Darcy Moore beautifully with the amount of marks he took in defence, and gave Max Lynch a chop-out with a brief stint in the ruck to give the team flexibility.
Jamie Elliott (19 disposals @ 53%, 159 metres gained, 8 contested possessions, 11 uncontested possessions, 9 kicks, 10 handballs, 5 marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 2 tackles, 2 goal assists, 7 score involvements & 4 Inside 50s) had a lively game up forward without impacting the scoreboard directly. Elliott was not able to kick any majors, but he was able to create goals and scoring opportunities to ensure he contributed to the team's cause.
Josh Thomas (16 disposals @ 62%, 270 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 12 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 6 handballs, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 6 score involvements & 3 Inside 50s) did not have his best game, but he kept working to allow his team to score when he could.
Brody Mihocek (12 disposals @ 58%, 330 metres gained, 4 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 10 kicks, 2 handballs, 7 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 5 Marks Inside 50, 6 score involvements, 2 Inside 50s & 3 goals) made the most of his opportunities and provided a presence up forward with plenty of marks taken to be able to score crucial goals.
Beau McCreery (11 disposals @ 46%, 223 metres gained, 3 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 6 kicks, 5 handballs, 2 marks, 5 tackles, 4 Tackles Inside 50, 3 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 1 goal) put on plenty of pressure up forward with his tackling, and snuck forward at the right time to kick an important goal in the second term.
Darcy Cameron (9 disposals @ 89%, 102 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 4 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 5 hit-outs, 8 kicks, 6 marks, 3 Contested Marks, 3 Marks Inside 50, 5 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 6 score involvements & 4 goals) formed an excellent partnership up forward with Brody Mihocek to take the game away from Melbourne. Cameron's knack of taking marks up forward and converting them allowed Collingwood to upset the apple cart that Melbourne had going for them. It remains to be seen if the apple cart is in good order for the Demons in September.
Collingwood's next game will be on June 26 against Fremantle at Marvel Stadium. This match will be Robert Harvey's first game as coach, and the playing group will look to continue the momentum of the win against Melbourne against a Dockers outfit who have been highly inaccurate in front of goal this season. Hopefully there will be crowds allowed in Melbourne so club members and fans can attend venues in Melbourne after Collingwood have had their bye after bidding farewell to Nathan Buckley, who has been the player and coach of his generation in Collingwood's history.

What a fantastic performance by the team over 4 quarters.
A big lift from some of the players on the occasion.
There have been emerging signs from this team in recent weeks.
Perhaps we should be optimistic even.
It's a shame that the team has been so steadfastly defensive in its approach in the past 18 months.
Ultimately, it has cost Buckley his job I think. We haven't scored heavily enough to win more games and get the most out of our list.
Our defence has remained very good across the period.
Having Billy up front has straightened us up and given us a leading target to kick to. Other forwards joined in recently too.
The wave your arm and wait to have the ball lobbed on your head approach has been much less prevalent.
Today, it rendered May and Lever much less potent than Allir or Stewart have been against us in recent times.
Having McCreery back today has added the aggression and pressure that has benefited our forward line too.
While not shooting the lights out, Murphy has played the percentages, lead toward the ball carrier and played from the front, which has drawn some free kicks and less rebound against us.
With confidence lifting, we might also begin to take more of our chances in front of goal.
In turn, De Goey moves into the middle and we become a more physical and dynamic centre clearance team.
Crisp has also played an important role, running through for the handball receive and to utilise his left foot in centre clearances.
And Lynch's tapwork and competitiveness around the ground has meant the loss of Grundy has not been as large as we may have thought. He's exceeded my (very low) expectations. Well done to him.
And finally, a willingness to play on and look toward the corridor in recent weeks!
Move it faster and create better scoring opportunities with a more open forward line since Q4 of the Cats game.
While we aren't a fast leg speed team, increasing pressure has brought Melbourne's slick run and ball movement to a halt today.
And we score more.
Would be nice to bring Grundy, Adams and Howe back in. We'll rarely have all our stars available, but we can get significantly better.
It's a shame that Bucks has remained in favour with the players the whole time in recent years (they saved him end 2017 when Ed thought he was done) but his game plan has been inadequate due to the overly defensive approach.
A new coach will benefit from the approach taken in recent weeks.
Let's hope we don't think seriously about employing Ross Lyon!

So happy that we won.
Thanks for everything Bucks.
You always tried your best....

Actually I stuffed this up, the blue was stuff you don't know and green is irrelevant (red and orange is still bullshit).
I now know that the blue part has been confirmed as true.

Pre hard to play with aggression and flair when there’s 8-12 kids running around with less than 50 games working on a new game plan. I can’t think of a single team who has played most of the time with aggression and flair whilst blooding so many young players.
It takes time, and this is exactly the impatience OP is describing.
Port.
More horseshit from the outer
More like entitlement, the internet Karen culture has seeped into footy.
The red that you call bullshit is what is reported to have occurred, not my personal opinion.
