Footscray have a 'no idiots' recruitment policy

"There was a heavy emphasis on getting guys who not only could play good football but were of tremendous character," Peter Gordon said.

Buckley has been taking us down the same path for a while now. Good times ahead...

Cloke isn't and never was in that sense.

Tom Liberatore has potential though.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Buckley also said we are closest in style to Bulldogs.

Once he learns how to structure a side, implement a viable game plan over a season and forms better relationships with players, watch out!!!

That flog peter Gordon has always struck me as a first class dickhead anyway, an annoying little whingeing prune.
