After the debacle of 2017, we lost our first two in 2018.
After our first game, losing to the Hawks by 34, the feeling of prolonged doom and gloom hanging over from the previous year spilled over.
I dunno about you, but I remember that feeling, I remember the look on Buck's face and I thought we were shot, and our coach would be gone in a 6 games or less. EXACTLY the same feeling Friday night. Back then we saw ZERO improvement, ZERO hope and thought everything was going to get blown up. REMEMBER!!!!????
Buckley adjusted, and even the negative nellies calling for his head [I did] changed their ideas all the way up until that #$#$# block and Sheed's 5% chance kick sailed through, but that's showbiz folks.
Now this may or may not replicate, but it is hopeful, and that's all supporters have in the end, other than expensive memberships and even bit of merch in their club colours.

I’m tipping our AFLW team will end up winning more games this year than the men’s.

Also remember being at the MCG for round 3 and the blues jumping us. At that time I remember thinking, enough is enough, Bucks has to go and this is my last game watching this rubbish this year. Fortunately we turned that game around and the rest is history.
Hopefully we can repeat the dose against the arch enemy and get in front on the head to head count as well as making something of our season. |

No magic bullet but when Collingwood start with a bang and hits the ground running, we win far more than we lose. Need to be switched on right from the start to attack full steam. Let’s hope that the cobwebs have been cleared and the rust scrubbed off this Thursday. I will be devastated if we lose.

I think you might be right there, it was shattering and we never looked in it.

Nah you're dreaming, it will be the opposite, we will be appointing a care taker coach by round 6. Pittonet completely destroying million dollar Grundy will be proof of that next week.

ITS bloody Rd 1, Cats lost to the friggin wooden spoon Crows, Dons coughed up a big 40 point lead, lost, Nth got belted, their "boom" recruit Stevo was pretty quiet as he was with us. I will pass judgement on us, after Rd 6, see how we are travelling then. I reckon we can take the Bluescum, just saying.!

Spot On.
AF-128 most in the game as well as most disposals (33) amongst other pretty good stats.
Under Buckley, has he ever had 33 disposals? Very much doubt it.
And then we want Buckley to develop our young kids - you gotta be joking!!!

I watched most of the game. He worked hard. He was clearly playing a different role but he is not far off combining work rate and x factor. We will certainly rue the day...
