I’m assessing Buckley NOW.

He’s come a long way.

Has a LOT to offer.

So does our current coach.

I disagree

Me too he is a very good coach and his record proves it
Take the Collingwood hate out of it objectively is one of the better coaches
Better than Ratten Teague Noble Nicks Hinkley Longmuir Dew Fagan without thinking about it too hard
If he is overrated with that record what is our present coaches record

Also if he is overated with that record what does it say about our boy

Not wanting to pump my own tyres, but after we decided to make zero changes to our coaching group last year, I predicted with near certainty that we'd not see improvement in 2021 and that everyone getting hyped about our chances would be disappointed.

That's how important a competent coaching TEAM is.

Our boy is going to win flags and plenty of them something Bux is incapable at doing.

What odds you offering? I'm interested...

Just the odds on Teague winning a heap of flags please.

Teague should be replaced if you go through our Intire list see how many players have improved and how many have gone backwards
At best we would have 5 players that have improved and the rest have stalled or gone backwards
Teague ain’t the coach to take us forward

So H and Weitering knocking on the door of All Australian and Walsh on brink of winning B&F is going backwards?

As for Dow and SPS.... they have started as 12 posessions a game players to 14 posessions a game players.. they were just poor draft picks or just need more time not ready for AFL football yet.

Winmar, Winmar, Winmar to Lockett!

The sign of a failing club is when their supporters throw up individuals as saviours.

How many flags did Gary Ablett Snr win?

Most teams have a few great players.

We’re not special in that regard and our great players aren’t taking us anywhere near a premiership without a shitload more support and a significant change in attitude.

Your worst ten players win you a flag, not your best ten.

And it’s their attitude and training and unity that counts, not their talent.

And you still haven’t answered my question.

Spot on GWS. If you are realistic, Richmonds bottom 6 is no better than anyone elses, and in my view, there are plenty that have a better bottom 6.

But they have a system, a discipline and a structure. They work their asses off to perfrom their role.

We have a club where working asses off is the exception, not the norm

I have already addressed it. You mentioned hardness and la de da. Go through my post again - I am not playing these games.

You know Walsh, I like Teague and I appreciate your positive contributions here at a time when most of us are feeling despondent about where the club is at.

He’s a very good bloke who gave everything he had as a player (you don’t win a Robert Rose Award without giving it your all) and I was pleased when he was made coach as I hoped he’d bring a hardness to our club that’s been lacking since Greg Williams retired.

And whilst I’m still awaiting the return of that hardness unfortunately it’s not only hardness that’s lacking at our club - there’s also ruthlessness. To Teague’s credit as a human being I just don’t see that as part of his make up. Which makes him a good bloke but not necessarily a great coach. Because every great coach I’ve seen in 51 years on this planet has been ruthless.

I’m also aware that Teague was appointed as caretaker coach on the 3/6/19 and you joined TC five days later.

Anything you want to share about that timing?

I’m guessing your investment is more in the man than the club.
