Looking at the negatives a bit (in fact a lot) Shades. What about the game saving tackle laid on Thomas that made him kick across goal and let us clear, go coast to Coast and hit Wood on the chest for his goal? What about finding the ball in traffics on several occasions, evading tackles and clearing by using football nous and speed. Dylan's commitment to staying on his man was evident by that when Thomas was in frame so was Buckley.

He was a real positive, sure he did a couple of bad things which will happen early in the season and with a young kid, but what he did well stood out as a vast improvement and an indication that he may very we'll make the grade.

I will admit I only watched parts of the game. Nearly missed it all, as I thought it was on at Night time.

Ssaw a lot of fumbles in what I did see in a fairly low intensity pre-season game. Hope he comes on though.

Was I the only one that Thought Buckley Fumbled under pressue 3-4 times... Dropped a handball off his chest, dropped a mark from Yarran and panicked trying to handball it back to him...

What exactly were we impressed about..

Note: i only watched the game fleetingly, not a lot of interest in this format or Pre-season. Wood and Watson looked great what I saw.

Shades ...I was impressed he contested inside the packs rather than being a cameo goalsneak......Mick wont wear too many specialist small forwards who cant do their bit in the midfield and I thought Buckley put the body in and even though still slightly built held his own.
Dont disagree he stuffed up a few disposals and made some poor choices but at least he has made some progress.......unlike Lucas who will probably be entertaining/dissapointing you in the WAFL unless he gets some intensity into his game....I was on the Lucas bandwagon early, remember a mark running back into a pack and thought this kid will be real good but he has gone backwards and our old mate Jim must be laughing given he wanted Talia and has been proven correct.

Speaking of undersized, thought Davey Ellard did well as a pure small forward.
