couldnt care less about what buckley is doing

we have a process so lets finish it, if NB is gone by the end of our process so be it

Buckly would be a good get, but so would Hardwick and or Malthouse so i dont think we can lose out eitherway

I see it a bit differently - North want Buckley they believe he is the best coaching option for their club and are going after him, they know that they have an advantage over the Tigers in that we have a set in concrete process. I dont think we have a good chance to get Buckley.

Buckley is going to Collingwood in my opinion. Have always believed that Eddie had him earmarked and believe that everything happening now is posturing. I'd be going for Malthouse personally. A couple more embarrassing Collingwood losses could seal the deal.

Roos wait on Buckley
Jake Niall | July 22, 2009

NORTH Melbourne has postponed the board meeting that was scheduled today to discuss the club's approach to Nathan Buckley, as the former Collingwood champion considers his future.

The meeting, which would involve a discussion of "plan B" if Buckley was not interested, will be held in the middle of next week, by which stage the club hopes to have a clearer picture of where it stands with Buckley.

North is understood to be willing to secure Buckley on a long-term coaching contract of at least four years. Buckley will meet Richmond later this week, as the Tigers speak to various candidates. He is also under strong consideration at his old club as a possible assistant to Mick Malthouse. Hawks president Jeff Kennett ruled him out as an assistant at Hawthorn.

Senior North officials have spoken to him at least twice, and Buckley's manager Craig Kelly has received the information he sought on the club's football department spending and structure — details that Kelly has sought from all of Buckley's suitors.

North's board had directed the administration to investigate the Buckley option first and then canvass other possibilities.

More reason to barrack against Collingwood for the rest of the year. Personally, Malthouse is my preferred candidate.

Interesting Buckley is getting details of football department spending, you would think the Tigers would spank the Roos in this department. And I wonder if the Roos will reveal the budget cuts they have to make to other support staff to afford Bucks' wage?
 
Buckley is doing his due diligence as expected. The more digging he does the less likely the Kangaroos are of getting him.

Exactly.
