Mega Thread The 2017 'Buckley's Chances' Thread

[Saintly Viewed]

Hard to quantify really.. but when the blow torch is on soneone.. normally they're given the a.ss

Pretty much

Blood in water, coach bleeding, sharks circle.... media, own supporters,

Humans in general.

Apparantly it's always ok to devour people when they are down, EXCEPT when it happens to ourselves, then somehow it's not so ok.

Well do you think Buckley thinks it's ok?

No.

So what's the difference?

Not sure your question.
Regardless of what Nathan, you or I think,

Human nature can be keen on destroying people when they are down or at least sticking the boot in, however if it was happening to you or I and the boot was squashing our throats so to speak, have a feeling we'd think it's a dreadful thing etc.and not very fair.

But humans are human. The boot will go in

Well as far as I'm concerned.. rep or no rep.. you don't perform.. you're out.

This putrid British Bulldogs style of game we're playing.. if that's all Bucks can come up with.. then there's the door Bucks.. I suggest you pack your bags.. and walk right out of it.

And that's your opinion, fair enough too.

Others have different opinions, that's fair enough too.

Ed ultimately, really makes the decision not you, or me, or other chatterers as important as they may be.

And that's how it is.

Well Ed mixed friendship with business.. we all know where that shit ends up.

Clearly... clearlyyyyy.. overlooked the fact that Bucks had barely sweet f all coaching experience. What are the results of it.. putrid football. If you can say to me you're happy with any one of our games this yr then gl to ya.. agst Sydney.. we were seriously poor.. i don't buy into this 'look at the pies.. great high pressure side' bs.

Play f football mate.. this ain't British Bulldogs.

I just feel as though you're seduced by him in his playing days and his appearances in the media.. when someone sweet talks ya.. doesn't necessarily mean they're gonna deliver the goods.

He's a putrid coach.. end of story.

Dew Clarkson.. make sure we tick every box when we do get a new one.. pleeeease!

When it comes down to it, all coaches are judged on their win-loss record, not the attractiveness of the way their teams play football. Malthouse had us playing some pretty ugly football at times, but it got us to a flag. Sydney won flags playing less attractive football than us. It's the skills of the players that are attractive to watch, not the game plan of the coach and players got their skills long before they were ever drafted into the AFL system.

The footy we played in 2010 and 2011.. was off the charts. Gimme a break. You don't have a ridiculous 'for' scoring record in those years playing unattractive football.

Attractive in the sense that I'd love to see us take on the game. Display a good skillful brand of footy. Arrogance. Risk taking. Etc etc. Obviously with a good level of pressure.

Under Bucks we've been aweful. There's been no real fluency in our ball movement from defence to attack. That's the attractiveness I'm talking about here. Not the pretty tip toeing through the tulips football you're thinking.

Ball movement.. positioning on field.. attacking with purpose.. not this crappy scrum shit we're playing.

I'm starting to think you don't rate Bucks much as a coach Gimpy.

Best I let Saintly Viewed respond to that.

I saw you name Cox on a HFF this morning Gimpy. You been mixing absinthe with your ouzo again?

No I'm playing mind games with the opposition coach. I might name Crisp hbf and Maynard on the wing as well.

I can't tell you I even remember what Borthwick looked like.. only watched a half of footy of vfl last yr.. he does look better than Blair though.

Jock McHale available for next season?

It's clear to me you don't rate our coach, that's fair enough from your perspective.

I do, and that's just another opinion.

And a good Friday to you and yours

Only because I'm in a good mood having eaten a Cambodian style pancake - was delicious

But I digress.

If the three games

Results wise? I like the third game, not the other two.

Playing wise? I'm very satisfied with most of game 1, absolutely besides the accuracy quarter 1 of game 3, liked enough, accuracy the exception, most of the rest of game 3.

Game two was just an ugly game, happens, but I can say this till the cows go to obese arachnids butcher, accuracy kills, it killed us this time.

Can't control the past, can learn, then we move forward and move on.

 

[Matt_352]

Fact is if we were just a little cleaner in front of goal we would be 3-0

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Adams wants Bucks signed up "sooner, rather than later". lulz. That must have ruffled a few feathers around here.

Thanks Saintly. Are you taking notes BringouttheGimp . ? Pay particular attention to the bit about Cambodian pancakes.

Barassi at Melbourne got more than a fair run as did Norm Smith at South,

Ssh that could be interpreted as a positive comment

Which is not dissimilar to the Bulldogs, Sydney and one or two others
