Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley affirms that his relationship with former coach Mick Malthouse is “as good as good can be”.
On Thursday night, Buckley refuted the notion that Malthouse’s recent criticism of the Magpies’ new game strategy had caused tension between them, labeling the subsequent media frenzy as “inevitable.”
“We had an incident two weeks ago where he seemingly commented on our playing style, which is simply what a media commentator does,” Buckley explained.
“It’s a relationship that captivates everyone.”
“I’ve consistently stated that Mick has had a tremendous impact on my football journey and my personal growth, so I have no negative remarks about him.”
“I owe much of my success at this point to him.”
When asked to sum up the relationship in a single word, Buckley described it as “amicable.”
Buford Balony says: More nonsense from the most overrated club in Australian sport. What a pile of rubbish.
