Don Pyke is a hard nosed ruthless operator - this was no surprise.
I suspect he’ll now appoint a Coach who spits nails - that’s more his style of Coach.

hopefully one that Reid doesn't get along with...

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

Cripps would know all about this..

WA media c 2005 was Cousins this, Judd that, day after day after day.

Some of our fans suggest Bucks could replace Simmo. Thoughts on Buckley as a potential replace coach for us should he want to relocate to Perth?

Would he be a good option for us or they are better candidates?

Our first choices from the looks of it are mainly ex Eagles players.

• Ashley Hansen
• Jaymie Graham

Eeek. Can't imagine him wanting to coach the side which beat us in a GF he was the coach for.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bucks coaches again. A big club like West Coast would be a great opportunity.

Australia would look odd if WA started to lose its shape

Yuk. I wouldn't even want an ex Eagles player come to us after 2018.

I can't imagine why Bucks would want to give up his cruisy media life to coach that club of all clubs & with all the media attention it attracts.

How did we feel about Leppa coming to us? I know it's not the same, given 2002-2003 was a lot longer ago.

Oh yes they do, The Internet has arrived in WA big time and extended shopping hours are being discussed by the government. Stay tunned.

South Australia is next.

Finds it hard to delegate. Likes to have the final say on most things. If he's mellowed on those 2 things he would be great

Bucks seems to have softened his stance a little lately on coaching again one day but my personal feeling is he would be more likely to turn up at Port Adelaide where he started out as a player.

Our current coach is a lot of things our previous coach wasn’t (great delegator, empowers people, off-the-charts EQ, taking a very holistic approach to football) and the results speak for themselves.

I can see Buckley coaching again, but not at West Coast. The WCE rebuild will require patience, and I would have thought an ex-Eagle would get a bit more grace compared to a coach from the Eastern States who didn’t win a Premiership as a coach in 11 seasons (nor did he win one as a player)

How did we feel about Leppa coming to us? I know it's not the same, given 2002-2003 was a lot longer ago.

I didn't feel very comfortable at all about ex Lions players who were part of those premierships coming to us...but that was because they beat us. Twice.

Bucks wasn't part of a team which beat Eagles. He lost.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

He’s a competitor.

So? He also loves the sound of his own voice.

Most ex players/coaches are competitors. Doesn't mean they all go back to coaching.

Eagles have 3 ex players who are currently assistant coaches at 3 currently successful clubs (as per the ladder) to choose from.

I'd be shocked if those 3 weren't way above Bucks in their thinking as a replacement.

Would he clean out the place like he did with some of our 2010 premiership players. Keeping in mind that was a grand final team he inherited.

McRae has praised Hayden Skipworth more than once in press conferences, so he seems the most likely of our assistant coaches to be in the running for a head coaching position

 

[Jen2310]

wow.

 

[danielnajdek]

wow.

Their defence was stupid. The AFL changed it so if a player got whacked behind play it's classified as intentional.

 

[ElliottsMaggies]

wow.

I thought he'd get off for sure.

I'm not sure how he was expected to know Webster's head was down near his hip when he pushed his hand out.
