Simon Buckley has the potential i recon. The dees rated him when he first started i remeber reading an article readin g born to wear red n blue. I hope he can get him self right i want to see more of the kid.

I liked what I have seen in Buckley, he has plenty of upside to his game and his best footy is ahead.

Hes been a forgotten man this year, lets hope along with Wona, they are back firing for Round 1 next year after a big pre season.

Well IMO we should be putting more game time into players who have either had limited oppurtunities or we havent seen yet

Our biggest problem at present is MOST of our experienced players are struggling

the question i ask is WHY ?

I am starting to think the answer is they are NOT GOOD ENOUGH

What took you so long?

Buckley has a groin injury, out for the year. Very good source says he's not sure if melbournefc will offer another contract.... Very Sad if this does not happen.

I'm seeing improvement from Bate, he should be playing as a fwd from the word go. Watts should be playing of bf/bp, similar to a S.Hill role, he wont get towered and will give him a chance to improve.

Dissapointed with development of Newton, Petterd. Newton needs to develope his footy brain better, get in better positions, attack harder. Petterd, Great mark for size, Can kick a goal, though i think he lacks the intensity to be playing AFL. Other than that i think its going to be a long and tough road. I don't expect to see much for the rest of the year.

The only thing i can see is our more senior guys moving over for more of our DP. I don't believe our list needs to be stripped, we have some pretty impressive players, we just need to give them time.

Go Dees.
