Buckley made some quality decisions today. Adams to midfield. A tag on Shaw. Crisp to Shiel I think, who was quiet. White into the side for Cox. Howe's continued form down back. Those decisions went a long way to winning the game. He still hasn't won me back, but credit where it is due.

Without injuries we are top 4.
With our best running around, as we have lots of level medium talent we're finals or thereabouts ie contesting for 6 - 10 like numerous sides, with some of those to go up to better tiers than finals bound.
More elite we will challenge so we await that and the maturity of young potential.

Let's be strong here and say Moore is not there yet (quite a bit away still) but if he gets there
With Pendlebury, Treloar, Adams (he surely is stepping up), Elliot fit, Grundy, De Goey
Then maybe Scharenberg, Fasolo (stepping up) with Reid fit with Sidebottom, then who knows where we end up?

Did you manage to watch the game as I thought you were busy?

I didn't, was at the Heidelberg Presidents lunch with Hodgy as guest speaker. Great day awesome player.

I am about to go home and watch it......but one thing Maggie that gives me the shits is gloating on both sides.
 
we are not consistent enough to be considered top of the ladder type team, and still need some more
class and out side run before we can contend with the best

What is the difference with gloating/melting from one side? Must admit I am extra happy but that is only that we emphatically smashed a contender on their home turf. Regardless of the saga surrounding our club, everyone should be happy with the win.

I am just glad with the win with everyone chipping in and good to get some players back. Adams was a huge in.
Anyway enjoy, next week is tough again hope that everyone turns up to play.

I am more than happy also but just like the ultra negative posters give me the shits the gloaters and the "I told you so's" also give me the shits.........anyway just got home and i am going to watch the replay.

By the way actually was a bit of a smart arse today with Karnezis and asked him to read out the score to some people in the crowd after the 9 goal second quarter :D

You must admit the I told you so's have copped a lot more crap. Couldn't say anything about injuries or missing players. Facts are facts not excuses.
Anyway tonight I am going to enjoy and tomorrow stress over Adelaide, tougher team and stronger bodies.

Half time of the replay and I am very impressed.......if this is Bucks benchmark then so far so good.

Will post again after the second half.
 
How do people feel Buckley has handled Cloke? Does the senior coach cop blame for a senior player falling off the cliff and looking like a VFL player??
Does the tough love approach the senior coach took get the tick from the masses??
If Cloke has now recaptured confidence and form, is that nothing to do with Buckley, because of Buckley or in spite of Buckley.

It is pretty evident that if we have our important KP players like Cloke, Grundy, Reid, White and Howe playing good footy that we are a better team.

So how much blame does Buckley get when Cloke n Grundy were poor earlier in the season? How much praise does he get now that they are all on the park playing quality footy!?

Not sure re Cloke but Cloke has claimed he loves Bucks so maybe tough love works with him.
At training, Bucks has spent some time talking with him and doesn't appear hostile.
Different strokes for different players.
Bucks does seem to give some players more time, others not so much.
 
Well done Bucks......best game you have coached for the year.

I called the Caff on Heater at team selection, but I will let you claim it :p

You made GWS look second rate.

Our best win this year........P.S Well done Cloke
