Nathan Buckley...Probably the best player ever not to win a Flag?

Question

I know you either love him or hate him but I would have to say that this poor bloke would have to be the best player NEVER to win a Grand Final!

What a waste!

I think he might play on next year!

Thoughts??

Answer 1

Well he has no-one to blame but himself, should have stayed at Brisbane, but that wasn't good enough for the arrogant prick, so stuff him.  I think his body is wrecked now so no he won't play on.

Bye Bye Fuckley

Answer 2

there have been many, if he had stayed with Brisbane he would have won 3 flags, i hope he plays again next year

Answer 3

Mr. 'Chesty Bonds?" I reckon you could land a light aircraft on his chin!

Yer dead right though!

If I had to add to your list though, how about Robert Harvey  from St. Kilda. Is he in his twentieth year now?

Imagine manning up on him? He could say he was old enough to be your dad! Coming from St. Kilda, there could be a certain amount of truth to that statement too! (Those boys... won't share their drink bottles, but happy to share their girlfriends)

Answer 4

I am in full agreeance with you

He would have to be my favourite player NOT of my team in the league.

I HOPE he will play on.

OOOH and Robbie Flower Never won a grand final ,, and he was pretty good

Answer 5

I think that would have to be Robert Harvey and there are many more great players that never won one  at least Bucks has got a Brownlow and Norm Smith to hang in his trophy cabinet.

One thing I couldn't understand is why the captain was not on the field for the last minutes of the game surely he would have bought inspiration to his team in the final minutes.

Answer 6

I agree with you. Bucks is a great player/leader, unlucky to have a Premiership medal. I am guessing, he will play on next year.

Answer 7

Well I would hope he would !   He is playing in a corrupt system, so consider that !    Geelong were  "rested" last week , while Collingwood played  in Perth, ....game goes in extra time , then Geelong.... FRESH....win  Prelim Final by 5 pts , after receiving   5 goals from frees. !!!     If I followed Geelong I would be embarrassed !......Geelong  had 9 all Australians, Collingwood NONE,   Honestly , who is kidding who !!!

Answer 8

Bobby Skilton, hands down

Don't forget Robert Harvey either. Or Garry Ablett Snr.
