Collingwood legend Nathan Buckley delivers a stinging message to fan who accused him of bias

Former Collingwood coach turned commentator Nathan Buckley has slammed a footy fan who accused him of biased commentary during his former club’s game against Adelaide on Sunday.

The Magpies reclaimed the top spot on the ladder after coming from behind to beat the Crows by two points in an instant classic in the MCG.

After seven unanswered goals in the third term – and trailing by 13 points at the final substitution – the Magpies overhauled their opponents to take a 12.10 (82) to 11.14 (80) win.

Buckley, who played 260 games with Collingwood and coached them for nine years, was singled out by a Crows fan for biased commentary during the game.

“(Nathan Buckley) don’t comment seriously you can’t be unbiased at all how can an ex coach and player comment out loud on his ex team f**king bulls**t @FOXFOOTY,” the fan wrote on Twitter .

Buckley didn’t hold back when he responded to a Crows fan who didn’t like his comment

Not only did Buckley see the reactions on social media, he decided to respond.

‘Take custom. I call the game as I see it. Crows were great for much of the game and I like where they’re going. If that didn’t happen, open your other eye,” he wrote.

Most fans applauded Buckley’s reaction – even Adelaide supporters.

‘Don’t worry about Bucks. Probably the best comment we’ve had as crow fans all year. Keep it up,” said one user.

Crow supporter here. Not noticed any bias and high praise. One of the better ones around,’ replied another.

“I thought you were a great Bucks. You have been very vocal in supporting what the Crows are doing. I like your insights,” a third remarked.

On Monday morning, Buckley continued talking about the thrilling game and how impressed he is with the Crows.

“I’m on the Adelaide bandwagon and I’m not just on it now, I’ve been on it for a while,” Buckley told SEN Breakfast.

Buckley says he’s a big fan of the Crows and the kind of footy they’re currently playing

“I think what they’ve built is excellent. I’d be really excited to be an Adelaide supporter looking at the back of this year let alone the next four or five years.

“Their coach Matty Nicks was very happy with what he saw.

‘In round seven they had 23 scoring shots against 19 against Collingwood and narrowly lost. On Sunday they had 25 scoring shots against 22 and narrowly lost the game.

“They have a very young back of six or seven and (Nick) Murray got injured and left the field at half-time.

“They have so much to look forward to, that club.”
