@the above 2 comments re Buckley.
I've never seen him as a natural forward personally. I'm sure he could play there if given a shot, but he isn't the most polished player by foot. Do we need another forward who can't kick straight?
Alternatively, we need to find a couple of decent back pocket players as it is. Tuohy is the best we've got and many don't rate him. After him you start robbing peter to pay paul. Walker, Simpson, Carrazzo have all played there, but are better suited elsewhere. In fact Carrazzo started his career in a back pocket and worked his way into the midfield.
Perhaps what we need is players like Buckley playing their role for the team (in this case a small defender) and then moving onto greener pastures later.
