Title: Buckley set to retire

Buckley is set to announce his retirement tomorrow night at the Pies B&F. SEN saying he redid his hammy late in the Preliminary final.

The Pies are holding a press conference at 1pm. Bucks, Eddie and I think they said Mick present.

My lasting memory will be him leading the pies out for the '03 GF, steely faced and determined (and strangely out of character), only to be whipped by 50 points.

A great footballer, but not a great leader IMHO.

An even better memory was him going going to the Bears for 1 year
and then stating he wants to go the Pies as he wants to play in premierships :lol

If only he stayed where he was he would have had 3.  :thumbsup

Two of them were against the team he went to, to try and get that elusive flag. :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL

In his time at the Pies our record was outstanding against them 15 wins 7 losses.

Duncan Kellaway's plaything  ;).

Bucks was a very good footballer but I never had him in the Voss or Hird class. The way the Pies carried on in the press conference today with the video and all this "best ever" spiel .... oh FFS :P :chuck.

My lasting memory will be him
Walking around the boundary line and close up view.
Pretty good bod  :o

Err and him wanting to play in a premiership one day!
Could have played in a few but made an error in judgment  :wallywink :rollin
