This is how I would rate our seasons under Buckley so far;
2012 - pass, I believe we could have won the flag in 2012 but we got injuries as did a few other teams in a pretty even year, Sydney had a good run with injuries and was the last team standing that year.
2013 - Fail, disappointing season with short and abrupt finals campaign while having a team that should have at least been able to beat port at the MCG.
2014 - Fail, shocking season with awful team selection round after round. A nothing season.
2015 - Pass, did better than expected and got some time into exciting players like Crisp, Degoey, Moore and Scharenberg. The second half of the season wasn't great but would still call the whole year a pass.
2016 - Fail, after a promising 2015 and exciting off season needed to take the next step and failed. No finals. Wasn't as bad as 2014 as we got game time into players that are actually gonna be around in 5 years time.
I suspect Bucks will be given 2017 to prove himself, hopefully he has a fully fit list at his disposal. We really need to see big improvements next year.
