It's hopefully sacrificing their own games to help their teamates grow.
You'll notice I didn't say any of them played well.
If you wanna send a message, drop Murphy and Gibbs then bring in Tutt and White.

Tutt is a much better footballer than Buckley.

Why can't they have 2e up forward? Hes a great kick and he's tough and will chase the ball

Don't worry, he hates Buckley because I like him....human nature and all that.
Buckley's strength is his run, carry and delivery, he can't use that playing forward, if we don't have a spot for him down back I fear his career with us may be over.

The backline performed well for a back 6 that barely know each other. Sometimes a back 6 of spuds can play better than a bunch of talented footballers because of how they work as a unit. Poor old Rowe , out bodies his opponent all night and drops the simple mark all night.
2e is struggling but he's trying to create out of The back half in a team that turns the ball over for fun and doesn't provide options because they don't or can't run .
All good. More newbies please bolts.
I wonder how good DVR would slot on back there. Good kick and seems to do well defensively. Let him grow with Weitering and Plowman and create something back there.

But this is what is inherently wrong with our club and supporters and why we don't know how to develop players.
You are right Buckley is better off half back, and would he make us better down back sure. But does this make us a better team going forward where he becomes nothing more than a back pocket.
What if Geelong was content with Gary being an elite small forward... apples and oranges i know but it's about the process and message you send. Oh you suck go back to the back pocket if you want to play seniors etc

Carrazzo was a back pocket player early in his career.

Why not.
He's basically the same size as 2E, Byrne and Thomas and 4 cm taller than Simpson.
I don't know hat he's like as a straight out defender, but seems to have the rest of the skills covered.

And became a great player for us in midfield. "Become comfortable being uncomfortable." Imagine if Buckley can be developed into what Aaron Hall is for GC now.
