Whenever he lines up in defence, we'd literally be parking the buss.
Or if he's prone to clangers he could become the Blunderbuss. :eek:

We don't need that sort of gun.

Super pumped with this selection, the kid has smarts to go along with his athletic abilities and skills. Get him in the gym and under Liam Jones mentorship and enjoy the ride. And there’s only one Buss and it’s Greyhound and given the size of his guns it should suit him for a couple of years.

Honestly I feel much better about having him as a distributor in defence. We don't want Keath or Gardner kicking it that much but one of Busslinger's best traits is that he's a good user of the ball. Get him intercepting and then distributing just so we're not as obviously going to try and go through Daniel or Dale.

One of the traits I have liked in his highlights is a willingness to run on and look for a handball receive after being involved in the play. Confidence in his disposal and keenness to be more than just the stopper/interceptor are big pluses.

His running style reminds me of Dustin Fletcher.

He looks slow but has these long strides that allow him to make up a lot of ground.
