2018 preliminary final Mason Cox will forever be the hero, but this was surely Buckley s greatest accomplishment as the Magpies stopped what appeared to be an unstoppable Richmond. The Tigers say they had hit the wall and learnings from 2018 have helped them time their run for the past two premierships, but for Collingwood it was a preliminary final upset for the ages.
