OK then, if pace is his trick where does he sit in the pecking order versus say Byrne or Armfield from the above list?
Is Buckley's lateral movement as good as those two? Maybe equal of Armfield but I think Byrne has him covered, Byrne and Armfield certainly have him covered for tackling pressure and body on body work.

I'm of the exact same thinking and I'm very glad somebody else posted it!
I think you can add Smith to the list.
At the moment I think Boekhorst holds the most "potential", and that in some respect is a bit sad!

As others have pointed out, it was the answer.
Maybe this helps...

Buckley has speed, dash and dare. Backs himself in against anybody.
Does that earn him a game over others? Has done.
From the other names you mentioned, i think Boeky and Byrne offer the most. But i don't think you would cut him from the list and its got nothng to do with his last name.

I haven't seen enough of him to form a sensible opinion. I think he looks a little lost at times, as if unsure of what he should be doing, and where he should be. I think he is a perfect student for someone like Bolts, and if Bolts can't get this aspect to improve, then I'm not sure anyone can.

I think a list can only have a couple of that type, and then it becomes a question of what else do they bring? Most of the others in that list have some "else".
Like EB1, I think spots will be limited and will get even harder to win if Sheehan gets himself fit.
Re: VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg - Thryleon - 05-18-2016
Again who survives on our list at the end of the season will have more to do with what is available to come in, vs what we have to part with to get the appropriate draft picks (and free up list spots) to get our targets from the draft.
At the moment, we are on track to finish somewhere between 10th and 16th.
Ive done the ladder predictor and we will finish roughly 8-11 wins depending on form and fitness of both us and our opposition. Best case 10th, worst case 16th (losing some we dont expect to).
That means a draft pick between 3-9 and 20-26 before free agency changes the order.
If we decide our draft targets will be there for these picks, then it wont matter, as the decision will be Dylan Buckely, or pick 50 something odd, and I would have money on Buckley surviving that choice. Id say the club is more likely to trade something else to get us back another shot at a second rounder, in which case it all depends on how many selections we can get in the first round vs how many spots we have to free up on our senior list, vs which other players get the chop ahead of him.
This is what we did last year, and this is what I anticipate SOS will aim to do this year. It maybe that the draft is full of the sort of players we decide we dont need much of, and we might decide to trade for future picks rather than current picks.
Any of our players futures are not set in stone. It all depends on what happens at the draft table, and free agency accordingly.

Bucks isn't in the best 25 this year and will probably slip further next year.
Pity, I like the kid. I honestly think he's better suited to a midfield role, but I don't think it will happen.
Re: VFL Rd 7: Northern Blues vs Coburg - Pratty - 05-19-2016
I'd be keeping the like of Boekhorst and Buckley on the list for sure in 2017.
Tutt can go along with guys like Dick and Whiley.
