So that's what you call me.

"I’m the Dude, so that’s what you call me. That or, uh His Dudeness, or uh Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”

Pretty sure our opposition were playing for something.

This thread is about our coach not the opposition.

Oh my penguin friend.
It's all about the future.

But no doubt you're ready to go fishing

Two years ago is now the future.

No finals next year no way bucks and ed should stay then

Finals are not a consideration for next year. Priority is on building experience. Buckley's new contract will have no expectations of making the eight next year. Trust me on this.

I can live this if we are building the right way.

Recruiting Wells and Mayne does not aid your theory or expectation of no finals.

If we are changing the goal posts of expectation then why the **** did we recruit the above on long term contracts taking up large cap space?

Mistakes have been made and will be learnt from. We are now officially in rebuild mode and the future is full of promise.

I caught up with a lot of old time Collingwood members today and I can report that they have accepted the reappointment of Buckley. The players and members are with him.

Surely you won't just palm it off as "mistakes have been made"?

If we are in full rebuild mode I expect to see that translate in our off season recruiting
If we don't hit the draft, hate to say it but you would be spruiking a lot of shit.

I totally agree.

The future is always the future.
The past is always the past.
The present is the present.

You can only prepare for the future in the present

The future beckons

Ed came across to the Collingwood members late in the last quarter to cheer the team home. The man bleeds black and white!

Are you seriously so in need of something, that even when we win you wish to make it something meaningless?

That is kind of an insight in to your skill set.
So if Collingwood was looking for people to help it, to make it prosper, by your displayed belief systems you are automatically disqualifying yourself.

Win and you treat it like a loss? Present that to the playing group?
Not sure that is what is required to help bring success?

Id never doubt Ed's passion and devotion.
on those aspects he's never got stale.

Never treated this like a loss but nice try.

Trust in Ed, he will see us through the dark times.

We all do mate which is why Ed is one of us. He has that glint back in his eye, good times are coming

Funny how the pro-Buckley mob (if these are the terms we are going by) now have their chest puffed out in some kind of vindication of the coach. Im sure at the start of the year you would of shouted so proudly from the rooftops that we would come away with 9 1/2 wins for this upcoming season.
Wow, what an achievement

Just out of curiosity why are labels being used eg "pro Buckley mob" or for that matter "anti Buckley"

Aren't we all just pro Collingwood.

Labels used with words like "mob" tend to gave a derogatory connotation.

Why not just discuss the issues, why the labels?

Not directed at you, it's at all the labelling.

Who made any one opinion better than any other?

Imagine this board without a 2018 Buckley thread, just wouldn't be the same.

Nah the same stuff would be given out to whoever sits in the hot seat.

It's human nature, blame the coach.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Zing!

Who the hell is no. 1 poster then?

Edit.. ok I just discovered the top contributors button. I see it's Gimpy, then Saintly then Jmac and making a late charge us westozpie.

I did way too much early doors, and every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in.

Still sometimes I need to help balance the discussion.

Not really, the emotional investment is heightened with a favourite son, part of the territory.
