Mega Thread The 2017 'Buckley's Chances' Thread

[Soaring Magpie]

If been a Buckley backer, but this can't go on, today is the straw that has broken the camels back.
The players just don't care and that reflects on the coach.

 

[Lockyer24]

I'd give Bucks the boot, but our assistants are just as unsuccessful. Burns, Sando and the two muppets Rocca and Harvey. Scary stuff.

He's in real trouble now.

Greenwood hasn't had a touch since the 1 q.

Yeah was thinking this too. I wish we had a guy like Tapping to throw in. We should have done that after Melbourne last year.

Beveridge, Alan Richo absolutely shit on the spuds we keep. Even Nick Maxwell walks out the door. We are clueless.

We are Waisting our Time Keeping Bucks as Coach.

Bucks been a Cancer ever since he became Head Coach

 

[gene clark]

You'd have to think his chances are slim and drifting now.

And if they're not the entire board needs a good hard look at themselves. The season when everything was on the line for our coach and senior side we instead devoted time and energy to side shows like the WAFL and the Collingwood Netball side. It remind's me of the old saying about "concentrating on your knitting". We haven't and it's looking readily apparent on field at present.

Club is a Joke

Hammer meet nail meet coffin.

I used to love watching us play.

Then I got stressed watching us play.

Then I got frustrated watching us play.

Then I hated watching us play.

Now, when I watch us play, I feel nothing. It's just a hollow feeling watching a confused and directionless football club blunder their way through four quarters.

I don't care any more. Sack Buckley. Or don't. Doesn't matter. The club has become meaningless.

IF We make Finals I will Streak at that Final

Bucks was Richo's puppet today, we had a better team out there but our one dimensional game plan was easily accounted for. FMD if not for their poor conversion it would have been a blow out.

It's literally apply maniacal pressure and hope the rest works out. It's such a woeful, inefficient way to play, no team is capable of consistently applying 120 tackles week in, week out. It takes a huge physical toll, leads to inconsistency and fatigue, what happened today? The come down effect, 55 tackles and a lack of pressure.

It's to be expected, it's also what we see every year under Buckley.

I feel for Buckley, its not his fault we don't have a key forward, oh wait...

Totally agree with everything you say, I'm just numb most of the game.
I almost expect the players to muck it up.

I'm really beginning to hate watching us play, which is so hard cause I love the footy.

and Maybe he and Other people in Footy Department are Idiots

Idiots is a strong word but giving away a premiership and dual AA CHF for nothing whilst not having adequate cover was a poor decision.

Thanks to Bloody Eddie keep bring in his Mates

 

[Garlic muncher]

I have always thought he was a mistake, he may have a football brain, but i doubt he understands why he did what he did on a football field, he was a natural who did not need to think, so when he needs to think and analyse he probably just confuses himself and others

I am sorry but if your nickname was FIGJAM it sorts of gives you a unapproachable, alpha male profile.

Would have been far happier with a Richardson or even Pyke who i just knew would be a good coach, unassuming bloke who's father was a Doctor who developed the necessary people skills.

Anyway if we had lost last week, he may have been gone earlier, there is no doubt if this keeps up he will go before the year is out.

I'd pay to see that.

Sign Buckley up now and watch the team performance with the weight of expectation.

Unfortunately the Buckley game plain is built around pressure being the master and not simply a secondary important element of one.

As you say it's been like that from the start and is simply not sustainable across a season and rarely a match.

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Stick a fork in Bucks he is done! Every week under him now is a wasted one, should be sacked tomorrow.

And once that is done Eddie and Pert should announce they are going at the end of the year, earlier if possible.

Bucks might not be able to coach but he did not appoint himself, those who did should also pay the price but that would require accountability and we all know that is not in vogue under Eddie.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

Time for the club to make a decision, either sign Buckley up for another 2 years or bite the bullet and move him on.
The pressure on the whole club is taking a far to big of an effect on everything from game day to media speculation to supporters angst!
Time to stand up Eddie!!!!
