After watching him last week, I wouldnt be surprised if he was given a tap on the shoulder

Has been shocking tonight. Getting a bit of the footy but takes too long to get rid of it and can't hit a target,

Well noone has told the Seven commentary team.... if their own News service announced it.

Reckon it was speculation. Bucks didnt look like a man who'd announced his retirement ...more like one who will any day though

Was odd that 7 news reported it, but the commentary team didn't mention it.

But I disagree on one point, he definately looked like he'd played his last game.

The Sun

Collingwood coach Mick Malthouse slammed a television news report before last night's preliminary final that indicated Buckley had told teammates he would retire if the Magpies were beaten by Geelong.
