Simon Buckley

He was probably the most promising youngster for you in the pre-season.

He played very poorly in Round 2 against the Western Bulldogs making constant turnovers with his handballs but all young players go through that stage.
The doggies are known to put the pressure on more than most other teams so you should expect this from Bucks.

With that being said, i still think he is in your best 22, easily.

Basically, my question is, when will he come back into the team?

Bailey has said in the press conference leading up to the Carlton match that he performed well for Sandy and was in contention for selection along with Moloney, Frawley and Maric

 

[Bartram_Class]

Probably not, with Miller out, Frawley is most likely to take his place.

Not sure Buckley will have done enough to get back in.

I hope he gets back in the side soon. As a mate of both Bucks and Shane Valenti I'll probably get a Melbourne membership if both are playing regular senior footy in the future. Gotta show some support for the boys even though I know Shane is still a Carlton man deep down.

I hope they give him a game, he takes the game on and has a real go. To drop him for making turnovers is a cope out, based on that criteria the whole 22 should be dropped.

I hope they keep playing the kids.

So Miller is out for a week and Newton isn't in contention? WTF IS GOING ON?
