Nathan Buckley Appreciation Thread

[On the March]

An absolute champion of the game. Collingwood were very lucky to have him . The unfortunate fact he did not win a premiership means he sits up with Bobby Rose and Tommy Hafey. Rare company indeed. He will be sorely missed at this club.

Thanks Bucks

Have a look at some of this. That right leg was a massive weapon!

This man is a legend

Thanks On the March for starting this thread. The video links are much appreciated.

Yep, up there as a true Collingwood great. Watching his complete journey with the Pies, his loyalty and dedication to our club is beyond measure. As Pendles and many others from across the footy world have said, it's been an amazing privilege to have him in black and white.
I have a feeling that history will only elevate his status.
"Blue skies" to you Bucks and thank you.

Once a Pie always a Pie.

Incredible!!!!!

The first video clip on OTT's list shows a wonderful example of captaincy from Bucks as he exacts retribution on Camporeale.

we are very fortunate

Still my favourite player of all time. I guess the best player in your side growing up is always going be right up there but I’ve never seen a better or more damaging field kick. Just sublime. Tried to emulate his kicking style to no avail. No secret I wanted him out of the coaches box but I also wanted him in there in the first place. Such a great footy brain which perplexes me as to why he’s done the things he’s done in the box. Doesn’t diminish him for mine. Still the best Collingwood player of all time.

No appreciation for the COACH bucikley who demolished the 2010 premier team...a team that would have won more premierships

[daics aka the ruckman]

Thank you for the great memories bux.
A favourite player and by all accounts a great person.

Love the guy. Have to say his team selections drove me crazy at times. But then Mick Malthouse played Jason Cloke at CHF so all is forgiven Nathan.

Best player from any club I have ever seen. (I'm 51)

Has had immense, unmeasureable positive impact on many lives, especially those of the young men he has coached, played with and against.

Terrific coach - not many win AFL coach of the year, get their teams to finals despite the odds.

We at Collingwood, so blessed to have had him.
