I’m struggling to reconcile the leeway Nathan Buckley has enjoyed in the media.
In each of his first six years as coach, the club declined. In the latter four of those six, Collingwood missed the finals. In Buckley’s seventh year (2018), he coached Collingwood to a grand final loss, but since has gone backwards again.
Defending Buckley, Kane Cornes said that the AFL system got rid of coaches too quickly. Ten years is too quickly? Really? Others urged Collingwood to re-sign Buckley because he is the “best available”. Well, that’s true if you limit the pool exclusively to current coaches with long-term experience who are uncontracted.
