Opinion What's the Buzza?

Backline or bust from now on.

Thread title should have been Never Mind The Buzzacocks.

Anyone know which group he has been training with all preseason?

Not much word on Buzza, although Catswhiskers mentioned he, SavRat and Guthrie were doing drills with the running guru on Monday.

correct....

well documented and discussed depth perception issue. Working very hard to remedy it.

How does anyone 'work hard' to remedy eyesight issues? and yes, I'm trying hard to avoid the obvious jokes here.

You would think eye surgery would be the main answer if contacts are not helping.

There are eye exercises.

Isn't that called blinking?

My first thought as well, but as Landgraft notes exercises would help a bit.
Maybe he should get a transplant. He could probably find a suitable match to order in China from a FLG 'donor'.

Think I read somewhere that he has an issue with his eyes which adds a degree of difficulty, especially with marking.

Always found this one hard to believe, a professional club would get that sorted with surgery quick smart, sounds like an excuse that got made up to excuse s**t marking ability to me.

I asked my optometrist about eye exercises and was told their benefits are a myth, fwiw

Who says depth perception weakness is something you could even operate on? I doubt it.

Interesting. Can't say I've ever had need for them personally, Wylie has definitely been doing them and thinks they've helped. But who can really say?

The discussion was about depth perceptions and more specifically the use of training the eye to pull depth and focus.
The eye can be "worked" to improve these conditions and responses to depth analysis.

There can also be ocular muscle work done to assist in eye movements that can help. Thus hard work.

If I understood them properly, you can do some exercises to strengthen the eye and slow degeneration, but you can't reverse or correct visual issues through these alone

For Buzza it's easy ... he simply goes to sleep.

Lol. Gave me a chuckle

Would have to make significant improvements in all areas to get anywhere near senior selection if others stay fit.

Presumably it's not the only option being pursued. It's not really our place to know the specifics of his treatment, though.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Generally, big blokes take longer to develop, so he might turn out to be OK. His biggest flaw, the inability to take marks at AFL pressure, is something that will end his career prematurely unless he improves this a lot. If the Sav Rat has an outstanding year showing us what he was doing last year before he broke his leg (but better), Buzza won't play many AFL games.

 

[Max Milburn]

There's an article in the Catvertiser this morning about how well Buzza trained yesterday.
A "shining light during heated contested training" apparently.
Behind the paywall of course, so someone else might have to dig it out.

He "trained the house down" did he? Heard that one before. Proof will come when we see it on the field against a hostile opposition.

That was my first thought, but House no longer plays for us.

Mind you, I think his attitude and aggression isn't at question. It's more the fact the he can't hang onto his marks.

Got rid of the House, got rid of the Gardner, even got rid of the Hayball we never used.

Might have to sell wood as well..
