The media never let the truth get in the way of a good story now do they?

Interesting comment by Peter Daicos on SEN. He said Bucks would like the fact that Richmond is going through a selection process. Bucks would like that Richmond isn't just interested because they are in love with him but because they want the best person.

NM ought to be wary of leading an exhaustive search that involves a single candidate, history tells us that isnt the answer

Mike Sheahan for what it's worth reckons there's only two players in the play for Bucks - North and Collingwood. Healy then said what about Richmond as Bucks is meeting them this week. Mike replied Bucks has never really been "in" as far as Richmond goes. Mike doesn't know but he's never seen the Tigers and Bucks as a mix.

North are more after the publicity to boost their ailing finances. There's going to be a few eggs on faces down at Arden St if Bucks turns around and says no.

I guess North are doing us a favour. Their infatuation with Bucks and the media's dismissal of Bucks coming to Tigerland means the media aren't creating a circus down at Punt Rd a la Cousins-style over Bucks' interview with us this week.

If Bucks goes to Nth the Sh1tboners will be paying 85% of the salary cap.

Will be suicide for Bucks to coach a side with such a meagre bank balance. How will you attract players to want to stay when they could be getting alot more elsewhere?

Sorry Tucker, i hate to be disagreeing with you again its not personal. One thing North has been able to do is keep their playing list together despite their inabilty to pay as well as other clubs. They are far more stable in personel than, say.....................................The Tigers!

That cool GR12 . It's a forum.
I know they have done well to hold their list together to a point.

I just feel that North can't just keep re hashing things like Shinboner spirit and such and expect to keep the majority of players, especially with the big bucks that will be floated around once GC17 and WS18 enter the comp. I just feel a more low key no frills appointment in coach will suit the North Melbourne image rather than a flashy take no prisoner my way or the highway appointee who hasn't coached a game of footy close to this level in Bucks who would be better suited to a more media savvy  or popular club that would cater to the ego of Bucks.

just heard bucks will announce he is going to north tonight on the footy show

I would simply crack up laughing if they did so on the Footy Show. 

[Stripes]

Arocca said he knew nothing about such an announcement.

Yep! It would seem to be incredibly tacky and a massive conflict of interest if they did announce it on the footy show! It wouldnt be like the footy show to have a conflict of interest
They might even bring trev back for a one of return to complete the spectacle

[tugga]

Absolutely disgraceful for North if they did on TFS.
If Buckley agreed to this (assuming it happens), then we're better off without him. Playing out such a charade on that show is a downright embarrassment to all involved.

[one-eyed]

Bucks to update his coaching situation on Ch 7 news tonight.

[one-eyed]

Bucks wouldn't give anything away tonight and just said he's living through plenty of speculation at the moment it looks like and like Mick getting a bit of the sick of the saga. Bucks said he's "just going through the process with the clubs" and is "still in discussion".

Make of that what you will.
