Deledio needed to leave Richmond for that dynasty to happen. He was a source of real bad energy in the club toward the end, and would outright ignore the young players as he’d seen so many bomb out. Plus, the Deledio trade freed up salary cap space to get Dion Prestia, who was crucial in all three flags.
Honestly feel like the Buckley trade was more a regret from Collingwood more than Buckley. Victoria would always be Buckley's career, however Collingwood threw two solid players and a first round pick at the Bears despite the fact Buckley was getting out of the Bears anyway. Likely done to beat other prospective teams to Buckley, but it was definitely overkill and that came to haunt them more than Buckley I feel.
As a Richmond man, I love Lids, one of the best players in the game at peak fitness. But we had to let him leave to be able to have the success that we did.
Nick Stevens would be another one. He left Port Adelaide at the end of 2003 and ended up being drafted by Carlton. He missed Port Adelaide's 2004 flag as a result. To add insult to injury, he featured in Carlton's back-to-back wooden spoon sides of 2005/6.
Don’t mean to rub salt in Buckle’s wounds but in this year’s side you now have players like Ginnivan and Frampton who have premiership medals hanging around their necks.
@@gerardovicidomini261Exactly thats why premierships are luck of the draw. Marlon Pickett played in a flag in his first ever game. It's all about right place right time and luck.
Yeah but he wouldn't be the big name he is today if he never joined Collingwood. If he stayed at Bears or North and won flags nobody would of given a fuck would of just been another forgotten player in a premiership team. But today he is one of the biggest people in football. That's what Collingwood does for you especially when you are as good as he was/is.
I wouldnt consider the buckley a regrettful decision, for the lions it worked and for bucklet he ended up going to several finals and became a great in the game

Nick Stevens. The fittest man in the AFL.
Buckley also infamously turned down North… could have won 2 flags with them also, maybe more with him in that 90s team alongside Carey
And there was a chance he would ‘return’ to Port and so potentially missed out on Port’s 2004 flag

As a Lions fan, nothing makes me happier than the Bucks story :) I needed that after that last GF
Glad I could be of service haha
Bwahahahahahahahaaaa it's a bullshit story but thanks for the flag 🤣🤣🤣

Great vid mate
Handy vid, thanks for making it 👍
interesting video idea!
Thanks mate, been enjoying your videos also!
Had Buckley been apart of Brisbane Lions they would have won 4 or more premierships. Collingwood wouldn't have not made the 02 03 Grand Finals.
