Nathan Buckley [merged]

[mjs]

Tigers could afford him.

Whatever the price.

Difference between him and Wallace would be covered in a nano-second by new members.

till he said he told the commitee they were 3-5 years away from a flag where as Knighter said they were 2 or so.

Urban myth.

i dont care what Myth it is, point is not to rule our Hardwick in the chase for anyone.

if thats true about bucks for 1 mill then he can go get stuffed.

i can just picture him sitting in his lounge room rubbing his hands together with his gold digger lady by his side

[WilliamPowell]

This club needs a TRUE leader and Nathan Buckley is that!

Yeah  but can he coach and is he the right fit for the RFC ?

I'm told they speak well of you.

You seem to play devils advocate a little bit too much with Buckley WP, aside from the "process" being followed, sup with Bucks?

I want this club to get this appointment right

Everyone seems to think it's a given he will be a great coach simply because his name is Buckley. I just don't think  it is a given that's all

if he is the absolute right person for the job fantastic - give him the gig. I have no problem with it

But can we just make sure (by following the process) he is rather saying he the right person because of his name.

Nothing more nothing less

I dont think he is a given and I know what you are saying about the good old process, but I think a few people don't want to miss out on the best prospect coach either. I think rumour around the football community certainly from what I have seen and read is that Buckley is the best untried prospect going around. They said the same about Voss!!

I dont want the "best untried prospect"

I want the absolute best person for our Club

There is a difference

And I don't want the club to put all their eggs in one basket.

IIRC we did that 5 years ago... and we all know how that turned out

Forgive me if I am a little cautious

People seem to think that if it isn't Buckley then we dont get the best person.

spot on.

buvkley is not voss

[WA Tiger]

spot on.

buvkley is not voss

And you know this how??? Why couldn't he turn out a better coach???



edited to correct quote

[Smokey]

spot on.

buckley is not voss

No, but neither was Voss until the hindsight stick whacked us all.  We can follow the process all we want (of which I am a believer by the way) but at the end of the day the person we choose is still an unknown, be it a Malthouse or a Hardwick.  When we make the decision all the insecurities of getting it wrong for the last 20 years will be at the forefront of every Richmond person's mind - supporter, player, board member, volunteer and employee alike.  That's the time to suck it up and support.  Regardless.

[WA Tiger]

There is only one person I would not like to see in the seat, but if he gets the gig I will support him too, just like I have the past coaches.

i actually agree with you for once.

if its buckley so be it but i cant believe people forget or rule out Hinkley and/or Hardwick

They are proven assistant coaches

i actually agree with you for once.

Don't make a habit of it
