The following is edited from a past media article.
Go on - without googling the text, see if you can pick which season this was:
"The industry we're in, you're going to get picked apart and questions are going to be asked. They should be. Questions on why you're going well. Why you're going poorly. Questions on where you go from here," Buckley said post-match.
....
"If we bring that energy and that effort, I think the supporters at the club, the players themselves, the coaches and staff and anyone involved with the club are going to be far more satisfied if we give them that effort (rather) than the one we gave against [snip]," he said.
....
"We've played some good footy, we've played some poor footy. Today was closer to the good footy that we've been able to play, but we didn't get the result," Buckley said.
"We go in, seven days into [snip] with a much improved effort on what we've seen in the last two or three weeks, in particular, but we just need to sharpen up on our execution."
Although industrious, the lack of polish – particularly with their forward 50 entries – was a major sticking point for the Magpies coach. [Snip]... there was a giant chasm in how both sides were able to convert their chances on the scoreboard.
The Magpies scored 46 per cent of the time from their forward 50 entries, while the [snip] were far more efficient at 60 per cent.
He said key forward Travis Cloke was caught grappling opponent [snip] too much, but added the umpires did not give Cloke much help in his one-on-one battle.
"More often than not we were able to bring it to ground and we hunted really well," Buckley said.
"But we just couldn't execute, couldn't finish off well enough." |

Sounds like this year but could have been 2013/14/15 as well really been the same story for a while. Our best is good but it's not consistent |

Any battling coach says the same, aka Lyon, Leppietch, Hardwick, Worsfold, par for the course stuff. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Well he's coached for 5 years and you've picked 4 of them. Is that a bet each way or what? |

Just for fair and evidenced balance, I would love an analysis of other coaches’ comments over the same period.....
However I won’t hold my breath waiting because this type of research is too hard for the Buckley haters whose easy target is to bang on about nothing as if it means something.... Geez they are bloody good at this crap. _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

Lazza, if you've got nothing to say on a subject, there's no need to post on it.
Alternatively, if you think "other coaches' comments over the same period" are relevant, you should feel free to look them up and post them.
Otherwise, I object strenuously to your repeated whining about "Buckley haters". I am not - and have never been - one and those sorts of comments just interfere with debate (or, in this case, a bit of good-natured fun). |

What debate? Pies4Shaw all you've done is posted some apparent quotes from Buckley under a heading insinuating it's the same old, same old.
Yeah, so??? What debate did you want? Good-natured fun? A bit of a non-event as far as a topic goes IMHO, as all coaches could be captured saying the same things over a number of years. |

Yep. Exactly what I said but it pissed him off for some reason...... _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine! |

Who would believe that a senior AFL coach would deliver cliched assessments of his team to the media? This is an outrage. |

Yes Redlight.
It is a free ticket to the next 2 Bluckley press conferences.
