After a huge weekend of footy and a big win for the Pies over the Blues, there was still one story that needed addressing from a Collingwood perspective.

Mark Robinson had claimed Nathan Buckley must have an "emptiness" and be "hollow" without a Premiership flag. 

First, after the game, Bucks himself expressed his disbelief and displeasure at the idea and on this morning's Hot Breakfast, Pies President Eddie McGuire said Robbo was "missing the point."

"I found it a bizarre story," said Ed.

"I just couldn’t think that going into a game that had so much excitement about it that there was this negativity that Bucks had not won a premiership. He’s done everything, you couldn’t have a person who could give more of himself and keep fronting up, the spirit of what football is all about.”

“You miss the point in football, sometimes there’s more to it than just a premiership."
