Nathan Buckley [merged]

[TigerTime]

we still have problems but bloody hell dont the media exaggerate it.  its been 10 years really since we had major cultural problems, since then our problems are largely based on not being successful. over dramatisation me thinks

we have had 2 coaches in 10 yrs , not sure why the media still think its the 80's and 90's

[TigerLand]

I'm sick of this woman.

Sheedy shouldn't coach Richmond..
Buckley shoudln't coach Richmond....

What is your agenda Caroline?

I'm absolutely sick to death of media pigs bringing down our club.

Caroline instead of whinging use your time in the spotlight to give some remedies, you've never suggested anything for the club to advance. You have no knowledge or experience of how a football club or a business runs.

Stick to your horrible opinions pieces.

[Stripes]

Caro believes Hardwick and then perhaps Hinkley are our best fit,  and the most likely propositions, as coach.

I hope she is correct

[Ramps]

Hardwick has a bit of the Sheedy style circa early 80s. If he gets the gig then I dont think we should be complaining.

3aw tonight....

Healy said Sheeds' backers would say Caro has been disenfranchising Sheeds from Richmond. KB would say that to her face.

Caro replied she didn't force Sheeds to pull out. If anything Sheeds would do the opposite of what she says. She doesn't believe the Board had any interest in Sheeds no matter what anyone says. It was selfish of those to push their campaign publicly.

Caro believes Buckley will end up at North. He's their No.1 target while Richmond is sticking to their process. Bucks isn't particularly interested in going to Richmond either. She blames out off-field cultural problems as she mentioned in our article. She also said everyone knows North has a better list than Richmond.

She doesn't know about who'll coach us - Hardwick would be a front runner, Cameron, we may speak to Laidley, we may slam down 2-2.5 million in front of Malthouse and say comeback to be the general of our backline.

A caller rang up, called Caro naive, and bet her that Bucks is tied to Collingwood.

[Ramps]

If we can afford Malthouse then we should pay the 800k a year and get him. Whilst we wont win a flag atleast in 3 years time we'll know that the culture has been changed for the better.

[Stripes]

Why would Caro say Norths list is better than ours and that Buckley has no interest in the Tigers?! I think she is determined to discount the ex-Collingwood captain and get Hardwick to Tigerland.

[WA Tiger]

The Dam wall has to burst soon, there is so much crap going on with these coaching positions...

[TigerLand]

That is exactly what I think Stripes.

Caro is doing exactly what KB did. Putting scenarios in peoples mind and thus getting the media swelling to a possible swayed outcome. The more she brings up heat on Richmond for Buckley to go to North the more likely it becomes.

Would love for Nathan to have the guts and spheres to say. I love a challenge, I want to coach Richmond.

[Francois Jackson]

Richmond cultural problems hey

you know what Jack we have done it to ourselves we really have.

WHEN not if Bux turns his back on the Tigers we have no one else to blame but ourselves.

Sub standard facilities, media running rings around our club, recruitment, development what do we really expect seriously.

As much i would think he would be the man to steer us in the right direction it will NOT happen.

Our club will not attract the best, all we will attract are those who are desperate for a coaching job because they have been denied elsewhere.

North Melbourne wants Nathan Buckley decision in weeks
Damian Barrett | July 16, 2009

NORTH Melbourne wants to know within three weeks whether Nathan Buckley is prepared to coach the club.

The timeline comes as Collingwood continues to explore ways of luring Buckley to its coaching panel alongside Mick Malthouse, who is yet to be formally offered a deal beyond this season.

Since Dean Laidley left last month, North has made Buckley its target and is not seriously considering other options until he makes a decision.

But with Richmond well advanced in its search for a coach, North believes an early August answer from Buckley is as long as it can wait.

Aware of the Collingwood pull on its former skipper, North has never been confident of signing Buckley, but continues to hold strong hope he will join the club.

Buckley's options include the Tigers, who will happily add him to a long list of candidates.

As the race for Buckley intensifies, it has emerged that Collingwood's ideal outcome is to have Buckley notcoach another club and agree to take over at the Pies at the end of 2010 or 2011.

Clauses attached to a Malthouse extension remain a major sticking point, though, with the two-time premiership coach irritated at the Pies' dallying over his future.

Buckley is managed by Craig Kelly, a good mate of Magpies chief executive Gary Pert.

While he captained Collingwood for eight years with Malthouse as coach, many close observers say it would be impossible for Buckley to work beneath Malthouse on a Magpies coaching panel.

The two worked on the coaching panel, with Malthouse in charge, during last year's International Rules Series against Ireland in Australia.

The Magpies' pursuit of Buckley strengthened when the club slumped to 3-5 after the opening eight rounds.

But Malthouse has since guided the team to seven consecutive wins, the most recent being the best of the season, a one-point victory against the Western Bulldogs on Friday.

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire told a members' function on Monday night the pending decision on the coaching role would "set the club up for the future".

Sounds like North are getting the jitters. Not sure if Bucks would like being given an ultimatum.

Stick to the process Tiges.

[WilliamPowell]

It is funny in a way.

But some nuffers say that the Tigers "Process" could hinder their choice as coach but it may actually work the other way.

What i mean that is that by sticking to our guns some prospects out there may actually think we are showing some of things we get a whack for not having = RESOLVE & STABILITY for not being dictated to by outside influences

As for North - keep up the good work 

[Stripes]

Desperation is never attractive....just ask my missus   

I agree with you WP, we are coming across here as the more professional and sought after position. Buck's is a competitive operator who may actually be put off by the fact he can have the Nth position without a fight whereas if he claims the Richmond role he had to beat a quality field to claim it.

We are in a no lose situation at the moment. With the quality of the candidates applying for our position, whoever we get will have to be an excellent coach regardless.
