I think Eddie is now getting involved with the trading officials at Collingwood. For Neil Balme to come out and say "where's the individual's right?" Referring to Ash stopped by Brisbane (not trading) means that Eddie has sunk the boots in and wants things to happen. He is under pressure and is the coach, particularly if they mess up next year.

Yep, it'll be on for young and old if they miss out on the finals again next year.
 
They'd be mad to sack Buckley. The bloke knows his footy. Gets a bum wrap for his supposed persona. I met him and found him intelligent, engaging, self-effacing and personable.

And incredibly unlucky when it comes to being around AFL premierships..... But I agree, he is an undeserved easy target at times.

I like what I see of Buckley when he speaks publicly but a mate of mine that played with him said he was a flog. Things and people change (and mate might have been the flog) but does the playing group buy-in? Have another poor season and the wolves will be at the door.

Can only imagine Balme's comments r only going to *smile* Brisbane off even more than they r now....regarding trading Aish!
 
im pretty convinced Aish will go to draft, they just have to do it, so many of their kids have taken off and left them with little option but take unders... they do need to lose out on this one foe the future...

Dimma has taken us from a rabble to 3 finals in a row (he never gets much credit for that) Bucks has taken over a premiership side , half of them have left & they haven't made the finals for the past 2 season
