Make him apologise for being a flippy floppy diving prick, but not for giving a little lip back to an abusive fan who made physical contact with him over the barrier

Ah I didn't see that what he supposedly said was a threat. I mean the fan should not be reaching over but a threat like that, no matter how hollow or empty/in the moment it was isn't cool. Still, fan should be apologising as much and not setting some kind of standard that it's ok to make physical contact with players

It's almost like you can say both things are bad but you have to carry on worse than what would get you escorted out of the stadium to make a point.

He was contesting the ball and hosed up. No ones going to claim it wasnt careless and clumsy but he didnt just hit the bloke or run through him for no reason.

I just saw it then, thought it was completely reasonably. Got him high and hard, but it was the act of a clumsy gently caress and not really malicious.

Cotchin getting off though is just lol on so many levels.

Yeah. To me it just looks like he hesitated about whether to spoil/mark or brace for impact and that resulted in his arm being caught in that real awkward position.

Yes but if he does the same thing a third time he'll actually be promised (they'll just grade it insufficient force)

Time to think about who they should pursue for the next head coach.

It's a shame that Bucks has been so poo poo as a head coach, I really rate his knowledge whenever he's on one of the various footy shows. He's probably just better suited to being an assistant coach and I'd be all for Beveridge signing him as an assistant at the end of the year.

Did he have an assistant coaching role prior to being put in on the 2+3 year succession plan? Seems most people agree that you need some time at another club to get some perspective, experience etc.

Totally agree.

It'll also be interesting to see what happens with the Gold Coast coaches as it looks like pretty much their whole footy department will get a clean out at the end of the year.

That's what everyone sane told him to do but nope they had to go through with the grand plan.

Bad Scott is probably the only existing coach they can lure away but it's either that or elevate someone like Robert Harvey.

I'll be interested in what Hodge does next; no doubt he's a good tactician but whether that's enough in this day and age because you have to be across a lot of things, or if that's something he can pick up while doing his apprenticeship.

It's probably better than saying a decision will be made prior to the end of the season because you know the next six weeks in the footy media would be nothing but door stops of Buckley being asked if a decision has been made about his future yet.
