Bucks: 'No way' will we look at 2011 loss
Collingwood senior coach Nathan Buckley has declared that the club will not be reviewing the 2011 Grand Final loss to Geelong in the lead up to the replay this
Speaking to members on CTV in his weekly Bucks’ Brief address, Buckley was adamant that 2011 would not be discussed.
"No way", Buckley told the members.
“We will be looking at, as we always do, Geelong’s past three or four weeks.
“What they have done well and what the opposition has done against them. What’s worked and what hasn’t.”
The 2011 premiers have had an indifferent start to the season with four wins from seven matches including last weekend’s 50-point loss to Adelaide.
“Our major focus is on the Geelong of 2012 as we are the Collingwood of 2012.
“That’s where our focus lies.”
The Magpies had nine different players from last year’s Grand Final loss run out in last weekend’s win over Brisbane. Geelong named seven different players.
Both sides are expected to welcome back a host of stars with Collingwood’s Dale Thomas, Darren Jolly and Chris Dawes available while Geelong’s James Bartel and Matthew Scarlett are both in the mix for a return on Friday night.
