I reckon Kingsley will be right up there if they are smart as well

This bullshiit succession plan was always going to be a disaster.
Apparently in 2010 Malthouse had coached the youngest premiership team ever. 4 years later under Buckley that team was out of the finals. Then having quality footballers asking to leave
Thomas, Beams, Wellingham, Dawes etc.
This is no different to what Graeme Richmond did in 1981,
Got rid of a premiership coach to replace him with a club legend.
With players like Cloke Raines Wood all departing a year later.
These decisions haunt football clubs for years.
It took us 37 of the shittest years to finally recover.
How close is Collingwood to winning a flag?

Its unbelievable.
450+ games No flags as a player and none as a coach.
Not sure they are giving him a state reception farewell.
Thats the day this tragic story began.

Come on. Let’s be fair here. Buck’s deserves it. After all he did find a cure for cancer didn’t he? No?
Then he must have brought about world peace? No?
I know. He won a flag didn’t he................
One thing I do find amusing and ironic is that their 2 greatest players, according to McGuire and a lot of other were Bob Rose and Figgy. For a club that claims to be so successful and to have won so many flags, those 2 with their playing and coaching records at the club have won exactly 0 premierships
It’s a fine line between pleasure and pain. It really is a brutal industry with 17 losers each year and 1 winner. Imagine being a failure if you weren’t the best performer where you worked.
empathy over.

Only two flags in his lifetime, that might have something to do with this call. Not only did he never speak to Jock McHale, he never saw the Pannams, the Coventrys and the Richards's play.One thing I do find amusing and ironic is that their 2 greatest players, according to McGuire and a lot of other were Bob Rose and Figgy.

To put Collingwood's last 60 years in context, they have won ONE Premiership more than St Kilda during that period. No wonder Buckley is their hero.
That’s got me thinking about a trivia question I don’t know the answer to. Has any other clubs 2 best players, that also coached the club, had so little success combined in regards to premierships. Leave out the suns and giants and probably freo as no favourite son has come back to coach them. The saints have baldock, dogs have whitten who were involved in at least one flag. Can name any other player/coach and they will still have 1 more flag than rose/ buckley
It would be amusing to compare how many pages Jim Stynes got in the HS when he died.
