 * Nathan Charles Buckley** (born 26 July 1972) is a former Australian rules football player who played primarily as a midfielder for the Brisbane Bears, and more notably the Collingwood Football Club - where he was captain for a record number of games and won the prestigious Brownlow Medal. He retired from the game on 5 October 2007 after recurring hamstring injuries plagued his final playing years and is currently a football commentator for Channel 7. After months of speculation, the Collingwood Football Club signed Buckley as an assistant coach for seasons 2010 and 2011 and as senior coach in 2012 for three years. In the meantime, he retains the position as commentator and will continue to coach the Vic Country under 16 team.

Brisbane Bears || 1994-2007 || [|Brisbane Bears] [|Collingwood] || 20 (21) 260 (263) Nathan Buckley was born in suburban Adelaide, South Australia on 26 July 1972. His family travelled around Australia quite frequently, and by the age of 12, Buckley had been to all major states on the Australian mainland. He grew up supporting Hawthorn. However, he spent the majority of his football developing years (aged around 10-17) in the Northern Territory, and thus has occasionally been regarded as a Territorian (he also played at the Ainslie Football Club in Canberra for a season). Under the (now defunct) State of Origin competition he was considered of North Territory origin and selected for The Allies team, an amalgamation of players from Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania.
