Buckley gets a game at carlton solely because his name is buckley....he has no tricks. .he kicks before he thinks. .and is all bluster. .
I doubt this is true, its not the 80s or 90s anymore mate. Buckley was drafted FS but was a very good jnr footballer, captained jnr sides also. Not sure whether he will make it but the notion that he gets a game because he is Jimmy's boy is nonsense.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

I would really like it if he could get it all together, but I am losing hope.

Same draft as Sam Docherty, the clock is definitely ticking for him.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

yep. he was drafted FS. 3rd rd selection pick 62 - high demand from other clubs...

Buckley is possibly our only small with elite pace.

If that is not a trick then you guys are on drugs.

That is a silly comment.  Buckley gets a game because he has a crack and he's in our best 22.  That may help to explain our position on the ladder but Buckley's name would carry no weight with our match committee.

buckley lacks poise, he kicks before he thinks, he provides no physical pressure that defenders must have. his dropped mark last week was the killer for me - chest mark regulation. he is on the cut list for me.

If you don't rate elite pace have a look a puopolo tonight.

On the other hand check out Hill EB... Lightly framed and timid...  No wonder they rate Issac Smith so highly at Glenferrie, he's irreplaceable.

Hawks dont look as fit as previous years and they need a CHF for later in the year, Gunstan was meh in the role tonight.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Doesnt matter with them, one dies, another rises. They rarely all play badly. Was a great game. Crows unlucky, Hawks fought to the end.

Roughead back gives them their other KP Forward..Sicily becomes their 3rd forward...add Bruest, Poppy and Cyril for flavour....

I thought Smith was really poor particularly in the fourth.  Lacked the hunger of his teamates.  Cyril, Mitchell, Langford and puopolo found another level when the game needed to be won.

I agree, Isaac has not had a great start to the year in terms of consistency IMO. Still to find his mojo, but has a few good moments.
Reality always wins in the end.
