As Murphy said, our skills were not really a major factor in the attrocious conditions but they will be a much bigger factor v. The Suns.  We will have minimise errors because they will punish them.

We're barking up the wrong tree if we think that Buckley will get a spot as a running back.
Docherty, Simpson and Byrne to come, and who knows how good Williamson could be?
His only hope is as a small forward IMO

I think (hope!) the confidence gained from the Bombers win will see a direct translation into improved skill levels. Self belief is a very, very powerful thing!

Buckley has been around for 6 or 7 seasons now. Hasn't made the grade.

He won't get any better now.

Gone at the end of this season.

I appreciate this point, however I see Simpson's career starting to taper off, and Buckley knows the role, and has shown that he can play it in a tandem with Docherty as recently as last season.

Just because Simpson is still keeping him out of the side, doesn't mean that Buckley can't make the grade in a similar role.

He has a few endearing attributes that we currently don't have in abundance (Pace) and in the JLT series copped a knock that stifled his ability to run.

He may very well go at the end of the season, but I wouldnt be quick to give him up without looking at what else we have coming into the side which is absolutely crucial to competant list management.  Sheehan is in a similar boat.  These blokes are currently marking time and need to make a mark or their AFL careers will come to an end.

Agree and beating the Bummers was a great booster for our guys' belief. They executed a wet weather plan extremely well.

Will be interesting to see the effect of a win. Hopefully it has built a bit of confidence.

2 in row to square the season up.
