! buckley was best !
someone once said that our greatest coach ever jock mchale snr.
said bob rose was the best player he'd seen at collingwood and bob rose said nathan buckley was the best he'd seen so it doesnt get any higher acculade than that .
yes i am sure there are still some who wish he was still there but as we know the hammys eventually gave way and our greatest ever player from this modern era had no choice but too hang up the boots.
he will always be thought of highly by everyone especially us the pies supporters i had the great privillidge of meeting the great man twice and getting him to sign a jumper for me i never met a nicer guy than that.
anyway the future is bright and we have a lot to look forward too.
but for many no.5 will always be buckley cos' buckley was best.

Such a great player, we're missing his class & leadership this year. I wish he could have played forever.

I don't think I could watch Bucks going round the MCG for a final time. It would be too sad. I won't forget how he looked around the ground after his last game last year. He knew then he wouldn't be back. God we miss him. Met him at the Sydney-Hobart yacht race. Great guy.

My mate has contacted the Adelaide FC and ollingwood FC and trying to get a Buckley and Ricciuto Medal for when they play eachother like Hird and Archer have. Adelaide have put the request through but hasnt heard from Collingwood. Would be a great award.

When are we getting a chamce to farewell him at a game like we did for Licca. Him and Jimmy together would be nice. I hope he does it because it is also nice to say good-bye to the true champions. I know there is a tribute dinner coming up but not everyone will be able to attend and those functions are always a bit pricey.
