I've only watched the replay of the 1st Quarter of last night's game but it is very clear why Ch 7 went after Buckley. The bits I have seen suggest that he is very good and will only get better.
When you compare him with David Schwarz, he looks even better. Could this be the beginning of the end for AMATEUR OX on 7 ?
one of the best footy brains around, not an out there personality, but thats all you want from expert comments, or special comments or whatever they are called these days. none of the bullcrap, just exactly what is happening
Never been a fan but thought he was fantastic in the box last night. Especially when he was giving us a great wrap for our tackling and how well we will go this year.
Seemed to make the whole channel 7 thing easier to bare as well.
Probably the best special comments man going around at the moment. He doesn't say anything revolutionary, but there are just a few little things in each game that you don't pick up on that he mentions.
Always found him a bit flat and deadpan when interviewed but must admit his special comments were very professional and was a pretty good debut.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
I don't mind him but I think he's a little biased in his comments on some teams and players. I guess that's only natural when you first step out of the game, having played against most players still going around, but e might need to check himself before making some comments.
And Nathan, FFS find a suit that fits properly. The tight suit look might make you feel macho but it looks stupid on the box.

How real is this issue ??
it's a beat up and a easy thing to talk about for commentators.
yeah I thought so to, however Buckley knows a bit more about the game than the average commentator. I heard the comment and made me think that there is a bit more to it when someone like a Buckley or a Carey says it.

It was something along the lines he has poor awarness and if that Richmond player was half a step faster he would've been polaxed.
Now if Kosi had the best awarness possible and knew the player was there and that close would've he done anything different? No he wouldn't have and if he pulled up the commentators would've called him a wuss. He wasn't that step closer was he? So the comment to me didn't fit what was on the TV.

hes an ego prick he thinks the game is about him and thats why is such a bad umpire an umpire should not be noticed this clown go's out of his way to be noticed thank god hes gone !
"The team that wins in the most positions and makes the least amount of mistakes, usually wins the game." -- Allan Jeans
A good umpire should be almost unnotices, and should not impose his personality on the game.
He should be neutral, only speak to give instructions, and be fair.
Goldspanker was none of these.
As for Bucks.
Didn't catch his comments.
But even if they were inciteful, I think I dislike him too much to give him a go.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
Evil Eddie is upset that he has to watch 7 to see the footy. How much more upsetting it must be for him to see his footy hero commentating for the enemy.
i thought Goldspink was alright on Friday night, and the fact that he could laugh at himself in the after match interview showed he doesn't take things too seriously
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
FWIW, I thought Buckley was no worse than any other ex-footballer with half a brain shoved into the commentry box. Ox is clearly the apex of the suckiness pyramid, and Figjam was at least better than that.
Who was the ex-North player boundary riding this weekend (I think Lions-Bombers)? Actually saw him grinning while describing a players hamstring injury.
