One of the greatest figures in our clubs history. What else can you say?

Theres been nothing but praise for Bucks all week, and some from some very surprising outlets. Nicks BB on the other hand is where I've seen a lot of the stupid stuff said.

It's a very strange feeling tonight. I'm wrapped we beat Melbourne. Absolutely wrapped. Had a good feeling about this game for ages. But I also feel gutted that Bucks will leave Collingwood with everything except a flag... and half way through a season.

Bucks became a better person and better coach as time went on. But people want success and want it now. With all signs suggesting we're going to have to start over, it was time to bring in a new coach after ten years at the club. I dont like or trust the current board. But I'm glad he leaves with some dignity.

This bloke can coach.
He will coach at another club with 10yrs of IP and experience and be successful.

^ It'd be surprising, statistically, if that occurred. I wish him every success, of course - how could you not? - but having had 10 years of "IP" on our watch and at extraordinary expense to us, if he did go on and coach successfully, that would just tend to confirm that he never should have been appointed coach at Collingwood at the time he was, in the first place.

Looking through all the visuals from yesterday, I found it uplifting to continually see the beaming smile on the face of Bucks. He looked genuinely happy and relieved, like huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders. I can understand that!

The only time he looked the slightest bit aggrieved was when Korda grasped his hand. Interesting.

interesting indeed! I thought he looked 10 years younger too, he will go on to make plenty as a commentator, I have to wonder why he would coach again, why go through the stress? unless of course it was to come back!!!! or maybe Port!!

what ever he does, i wish him well

Not sure how you think IP is developed.
The guy coached an injury decimated team to a kick from a GF win.
That "expense" is exactly my point - guess its another team that gets to benefit from it given we are too fickle to take advantage.

I wish Nathan all the best but, like you, if he goes on to be successful at another club, I'll bemoan the wasted 3-5 years of on-the-job work experience we gave him from 2012.

I predict that Port Adelaide will acquire his services and win another flag before Collingwood does. Seems logical to me because Bucks has a special history with them, playing in successful teams.

I wish him well and I think he will have an outstanding media career, but it will be next to impossible to get another senior coaching job - he's too defensive and there are too many other options out there, having said that I'd be shocked is Ross Lyon isn't either coaching us or the Blues next year - so you never know, for Nathan it'll all be about timing but I think the odds are stacked against him. In the end it won't matter as he will have a long career as a special comments commentator, and football talk shows. He'll never ever want for a job.

He was captained, of course, by the great Mark Williams. Williams won premierships with Port Adelaide as a player in 4 out of his 5 seasons (well, 41/2, really - he went home from Brisbane during 1990 and won that flag) with them. Of course, Williams was just an incredibly successful leader, as his time at Port Power as coach also demonstrated.

There's basically no IP in football. That's just a statement that was manufactured in the media by buffoons that had nothing else to talk about. Every game is recorded and analysed. Every training session is watched. Many players and coaches swap clubs every year. Can you tell me what it is that is actually IP? I bet that you can't.

Perhaps there is one small area which is in the strength and conditioning area but that's something the senior coach knows nothing about.

Will he go into media—coach another AFL club or the whisper that he may return to Alberton Oval

Yes, he won a flag with them.

Played a full year in a lower division, oh please.
