Toast Dylan Buckley

[T2B_]

(please merge if needed or whatever)
Amidst all the obvious negativity, I wanted to give a big thumbs up for Bucks What a little ripper. Just plays hard and fast all the time and never takes a backward step (unfortunately that was a bad thing with that free to Riewoldt but I won't blame the lad for doing what seemed right to him).

I'm amazed at his body transformation. But mostly I'm surprised how well he used it. WTF?

 

[pepalenko]

We may even get a rising star nom

 

[AB_Blue]

Needs a solid run of games this year. Played really well in difficult circumstances

 

[james Dean]

Agree, was very composed for a second gamer. Plenty to work with and deserves to keep his spot.

 

[Cringle]

Brilliant. Composed, smart, exhilarating and showed some of the senior boys what intensity is.

 

[ODNBlue]

He was good to watch... Let's see how he pulls up.

 

[gandaal]

Let's turn this thread negative. That's always fun.

Why was he played as a floating forward in the twos learning nothing if he performs like that as a rebound defender?

Our player development is awesome.

Good game from the kid.

 

[No1Suspect]

Skills good!

 

[Koutafidamidis]

THE DIFFERENCE IS HE LOVES THIS ****ING CLUB AND HE WILL ****ING BLEED FOR THE ****ING JUMPER

LITTLE CHAMPION

 

[BALKAN]

Love his tenacity and courage. Really nifty little player. Can't wait to see what he becomes!

 

[ShanDog]

Will definitely raise a glass in appreciation of his game. Great job

 

[Shaneprice97]

He played very, very well.
Love when he gave Tyrone Vickery whiplash when the spud tackled him for reasons unknown(seriously Tywone, Buckley had been over the goal line for like 5 seconds).
He stood out alot to me(Collingwood supporter) so its not just one of those games when its only the supporters who acknowledge his game.

 

[BluStreak]

Showed a lot of heart tonight.

Could not see why Riewoldt got a free. Buckley was just standing there. Riewoldt initiated the contact.

 

[JuddsABlue]

Will go down to visy park and shit in the goal square if he gets dropped in the next 10 weeks

 

[Silvagnis]

Hopefully another Simpson who keeps running and going in hard.

Looking forward to see Docherty play too.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Even with his small frame he keeps himself in the contest. Hands it off, lays a shepard. Lays a tackle, bounces up, lays another tackle. That's good footy

 

[NavyBlue5]

The kid is a gem. Not afraid of a contest, handles pressure well, good footy brain, good skills and most importantly bleeds navy blue.

Really, really, really impressed.

 

[Navy_4_life]

Let's not get carried away by talking about rising star nominations. The kid had a reasonably good game. If he played like that week in week out he would be lucky to get a gig with a top four side. There is scope for improvement and if he improves like you expect and hope we may have found a best 22 player. But don't talk him up and turn him into the next gun this Board talks about who is delisted in 2 years.

Thanks Synbad...

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very good, most impressed.

Reminds me of a bloke that wore 16 years ago.........

 

[Navy_4_life]

Thanks Synbad...

Care to engage in discussion rather than throwing baseless insults?

I don't want to see another Luke Mitchell on this board.

 

[T2B_]

Very good, most impressed.

Grigg????

 

[broady4]

Definitely backs himself. Will make mistakes but at least u can tell he is committed and actually wants to play. Hope the ankle is ok

 

[Styxx]

I didn't see a player at the peak of his powers, what I did see was a young kid lay down the baseline minimum of what he is capable of.

Well played Dylan.

 

[Blue Flame]

Has to keep playing. He is one of the few that actually cares, and can kick at that.
I like that we praise him though because he knows how to handpass and lay a shepherd. That's right boys, a ******* shepherd. And he's the smallest guy on the ground. He looks a player, leave him in.
