Former Jordan De Goey coach Nathan Buckley says the Collingwood star should accept any offer the Magpies put in front of him as new reports emerge about how the AFL club views the conduct of the star striker in Bali.
De Goey has a history of off-field indiscretions and has been harshly criticized as images emerged of his interaction with a woman after he decided to go abroad to take a break during the dismissal round.

Collingwood has repeatedly been on the side of the 26-year-old and Buckley said he should pay for the Pies’ faith, even if it means giving up extra money.
Buckley’s council comes amid reports that Collingwood has taken a $ 3.2 million deal off the table following the Bali scandal, which has led to speculation that other clubs could pursue De Goey.
“Collingwood shouldn’t pay the best dollar for Jordan De Goey,” Buckley told SEN Whateley.
“I think they should offer you what they’re willing to pay, and I should just accept it and say, ‘Thank you for your support, guidance, and understanding as I try to navigate my life. of being young. man who has done a little blues to be a better collaborator and a better person ‘.
“I still think that if the club chooses to continue with him, I think these should be his parameters in which they continue with him. I think Jordy should be pretty grateful if that happens.
“He is still a boy, but he has to make better decisions and he has to decide to put people around him to help him make better decisions.
“I’m very upset right now, I have to say, because I don’t think what Jordy did in isolation is a penny crime. But when you put it against his past, when you put it against the club’s situation , in a really positive space, to make the decision to go to Bali, at that time he should have had red flags everywhere.
“In retrospect, it was clearly a bad decision.”

Collingwood has not yet publicly commented on the incident, but De Goey himself issued a statement blaming the media for the storm that has erupted over his situation. He pointed to the media for “the relentless persecution and persecution of athletes” for “creating an uneducated, biased and ill-informed narrative that has gone too far.”
The woman next to De Goey in the video, Remy Jackson, also spoke out in defense of the AFL star on social media over the weekend.
“Hello everyone, I can’t believe the reaction against Jordy and myself here in Bali … nothing to do here,” Jackson posted on his Instagram story.
