Tasmania's Snub Leaves Buckley Pondering Next Move Nathan Buckley's decision to opt out of coaching at Essendon and Carlton may have come as a surprise to some, but it was hardly a shock given the circumstances surrounding his snub by Tasmania.

Buckley has been refreshingly candid about the experience, describing himself as "disappointed" and acknowledging that the Tasmanian decision was a personal setback.
