I get a lot of facebook reels with McRae and his interactions and talks with the playing group. Next level manager and a major factor in why we are such a strong unit.

I think you're just having a rant about close finishes.We’re here to talk about actual greatness. It’s a thread about Fly.
Here is Buckleys win rate for games decided by 6 points or less:
2012-2020
W. L. D.
9 14 2
36% win rate
2014-2020
W. L. D.
5 14 2
23% win rate
2018-2020
W. L. D.
2 6 1
22% win rate
*noting I’m not even bothering to update for bucks full period of coaching to 2021. Why waste my time on it… I called out his ordinary record for over half a decade. Spent way too much time yelling at the sky about his poor coaching record in close games and fighting online with people defending his mediocrity.
Buckleys win rate in close games is clearly the polar opposite to Fly. Bucks (in 2018-2020 when we finally made finals) lost close games 78% of the time, while the coach of our 16th Premiership wins in close games 78% of the time (in the 2022-2024 when we’ve made finals)
Anyways, my point was. The Buckley era is over. His record as coach is ordinary. No cup. One choke job in GF and another choke job in 2019 PF, poor man management, constantly bagging players publicly (still throwing stones at Stephenson) and leading the club to its worst position in history of 17th. Not to mention the piss poor treatment of Treloar, Lumumba and other 2010 premiership players etc etc.
The coaches: Nathan Buckley
Coach: 2012-2021 (part)Games coached: 218 Few Collingwood coaches have had as dramatic a tenure as Nathan Buckley endured – and sometimes enjoyed – over his nearly 10 seasons in the top job. Partly that was because of his pre-coaching status as one of the game’s greatest ever players, but mostly...forever.collingwoodfc.com.au
Even the Collingwood Forever website highlights his “bleak” record.
Hopefully, while Buckley led us to desperately hopeless position of 17th on the ladder, Fly will lead us to the winners podium to lift our 17th cup! The stark difference between the two is Black and White for all to see.
Fly is the real deal. Any mention of Bucks in this thread is an insult to Fly’s greatness. Show some respect to Mr McRae please.
