Very true. For most, there’s been a decrease in both quality of life and pay.
Double whammy.
Because he didn’t start a revolution from within leading to premierships. That means he can’t coach, surely you know that!
Btw, I read the AFL website article and I was shocked by, to put it bluntly, how stupid the outgoing Carlton president exposed himself to be.
Carlton are truly going nowhere over the coming years, and that has nothing to do with an assistant coach.
Buckley... he’s an interesting one.
He’s not of the Chris Scott over-rational shallow relationship computing faux genius nature, as he’s shown a willingness to embrace the emotional side of the art of coaching after he saw Dimma’s success (and Buckley did this immediately after 2017, unlike other coaches).
I respect him for recognising our cultural changes immediately and attempting to implement them himself. It cost us.
But the concern is how boring he is, and whether he’s the right kind of smart for us.
For example: Dimma uses simple language. He doesn’t care if he sounds simple. He’s not trying to impress anyone. Dimma’s word choice is not motivated by a desire to convince the media he’s a good coach.
Buckley doesn’t get that.
He tries to sound smart by using longer words that he barely understands.
That’s dumb.
Buckley sounds fine when he’s focused on football details, and seems smart in a high-IQ / spatial awareness kind of way, but what about his relationships? His values? philosophy?
Maybe he’s a physicist who can do equations and experiments, but is he also a teacher?
So for mine, his potential value hinges on him being humble enough to listen, learn, and follow Dimma’s wisdom.
He hasn’t previously shown those traits. Under Malthouse, he had the president‘s ear to obtain the top spot in messy circumstances.
So he’s never demonstrated coaching success, never been an honest assistant, and isn’t that bright when it comes to teaching. And yet, he still seems like he’d be a great acquisition.

Hey @tigertim you seem to have access to the H/S online articles, are you able to shed some light on what Adam Kingsley is doing?
Tigers eye draft coup, Kingsley future decided
Richmond is poised to make a play for one of the draft’s best midfield prospects as it eyes a top-five pick. Meanwhile, Adam Kingsley’s future has been sorted.There is more to this story
But it’s a member-only story.
Excerpt from article:
Richmond assistant Adam Kingsley wants to chase another premiership with the Tigers next year as they look to take their strongest hand in a decade to this year’s draft.
Kingsley came second to Michael Voss in the race for Carlton’s senior coaching job and declined an opportunity to join the Blues’ assistant coaching ranks.
Instead, he is locked in for another year at Richmond alongside former Carlton senior coach David Teague as the Tigers try to relaunch at the top-four again next season.

Yep, that's pretty 'outgoing' all right. Rarely see that from introverts.
A bit cheeky from the Blues to overlook Kingsley for main job and then offer him a consolation prize.
Good interview with Kingsley on SEN this morning below is what he said the coaching structure will be:
Also said losing both CJ & Mabs leaves the list a bit unbalanced, (probably meaning depth), given Riewoldt's age.
Kingsley : Defense
Teague : Offense
McQualter : Stoppage
X Clarke : Forward
Lonegran : Head of Development
Morris : VFL Coach

What’s Maric’s role at the club? Does he have any official capacity?Good interview with Kingsley on SEN this morning below is what he said the coaching structure will be:

Maric is Ruck Coach and involved in a player welfare capacity as well i think.
And Mids coach?
If there's one area we need to fix this is it.
We have been abominable in this area.
Worst in the comp.
You can't always start your attacks from D50.
And that's if the oppo misses the goal.
We saw with (No Longer) Rabblebourne how easily u can torch a side if u get this right.
They basically put Zimmer Frames Central and Foot Astray to the sword in a 10-15 minute spell.
Needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

plus I think The Dees blueprint of rotating 2 genuine ruck men through Full Forward,
which is pretty much the opposite of the midget piñata,
will be adopted.
If NOldo can kick 30-40 goals (JacksAwn kicked 32),
we improve stoppages and i50 efficiency in one fowl sweep
More Assistants on the move.
Tim Clarke heads back to Carlton, Brad Miller joins Gold Coast, and Craig Jennings has been hired by GWS.
Craig Jennings, Mr Strategy. Me. Me. Me.
Anyone ever hear him on Crunchtime - gee whiz, you'd have thought he coached as many flags as Clarko the way he went on. And on. And on...........................
