LOL at Healy and Russell, the great oracles of footy publicly saying that Buckley is the best man for the job. How the hell would they know.
Stick to our process. We've been burnt with Geischen (a few meaningles wins at the end of a season so let's appoint him as coach), Frawley (just wanted to coach anyone and we just happened to be the basketcase that fitted) and Wallace (get him now and forget about everyone else). Personally I'm comfortable with the process we are undertaking.
If it sorts the wannabes from the real contenders then that's a good thing. Sheedy withdrew because he knew he wouldn't make it through the interview and presentation process (Geez, he didn't even make it through Melbourne's two years ago when he was still coaching). So personally, if it weeds out the pretenders like Sheedy, then so be it.
