Buckland keep him or let him go

[Macpop]

This kid has only been let loose over the last 4 weeks, I said early in the year he is a wingman. His game on Saturday showed everone what he can do. Best on ground

If he goes it will be Tudors fault because he didn't play him like Ron Watt did and thats let the kid run.

Tanace look out, this kid can run like you, and even better can deliver the ball to his forwards perfectly.

Please let him stay, i'm a fan, surely he would be a better pick than a last round draft choice in the 50's or 60's.

 

[ecleftic]

Yes, should keep him.

I believe that even if we elevate him , we still will have to take three picks in the draft, basically it means four spaces required.
Also , remember Egan was a 50's/60's type pick

Egan was basically a rookie, he had spent 2 years in the VFL.

It depends who we cut as to whether or not we keep him I think. If they want to keep Haynes, Slade, McCarthy or Rahilly for depth (I hope not) I can't see him being promoted. The only others with a ? are Lonergan, Spencer and Thurley. Chambers has to be kept with our injury prone ruckmen.

Not really.
Lot of difference between a rookie and a top-up player.

I'd love to give Bucky another go (i've explained why previously so won't go over it again), but it seems unlikely that they'll make a commitment to him.

 

[Unwritten_Law]

Professional, yes.

But he was match hardened and mature body compared to some skinny kid from the u-18s.

 

[Akalon]

Yes, keep him. Haynes, Slade and Rahilly can boot... we don't need them.

 

[iameviljez]

Keep him, keep him, keep him.
Don't forget that Buckland came into football quite late as a junior. He is still putting on muscle and needed the time. He hasn't had the opportunities at Geelong of some and really hasn't yet been rewarded for his persistence and performances at VFL level, not unlike Matthew Spencer. Keep Buckland; Milburn's Mini Me.

After 2 years on a rookie list, they either have to be elevated or released.

Carazzo is an example of this.
