An amazing player.
You always went to a Blues game wondering what highlight Buzz was going to add to his reel.
On the rare occasions he didn't take a big grab and/or kick a freakish goal, he would be chasing/tackling/smothering his opponents. His pressure on oppo defenders was manic.
Got to meet him and Kenny Hunter outside gate 3 at the G before a Blues v Hawks game years ago. Such a nice bloke to have a chat to as well. My photo with them is one of my favourites.
RIP Buzz.

Sad news, what a player…
12yrs old, 1981 we have 2 champions Buzz and Hunter come over from WA who had an immediate impact, such an impact player with his ability to kicking goals, taking screamers while being a wonderful team player defensively…
Great memories, a pleasure to watch him live in full flight …

He came back and did a pre season before 86 season. He was training with Sticks, Braddles, Motley, Dorotich who had all just arrived.

Can't remember reason but was stopped from playing (transfer?) but imagine adding him to that group


I think he he put his hand though a glass door and severed an artery in his arm or some such which kyboshed his comeback.

Kind of. He did the hand thing in '84 when he was frustrated that his Perth team wouldn't clear him back to Carlton without a $25,000 transfer fee.

He went home originally because his father opened a sports store and then got leukaemia so Buzz wanted to help out.

When he came back in '86 he stepped on a pop up sprinkler at training and made a mess of his ankle.

What might have been.

That surface at Princes Park has a lot to answer for. 🤣

They say never meet your hero's. I met mine and was not left disappointed.

There will only ever be one Peter Bosustow.

One of the most talented players I've ever seen. Could do the impossible like it was nothing. I saw him at Subi once and didn't say hi because I would have just fanboi'd over him.
 
I am tearing up. He was an existential footballer who made the jaw drop.of this then 12,13 and 14 year old poster I was behind the goals when he took that mark. Always will be on the half forward flank in Carlton's greatest ever side. Invented forward pressure before it had a terminology. His 60 games were worth 300
