Where To For Dylan Buckley ??

Tuohy is just as capable defensively, as is Byrne, and Sheehan who once again showed that he is a good kick of the footy even playing under duress on saturday.  They all provide the same amount of dash off half back as Dylan, and they can all get up the field and be a threat like Dylan.

Dylan needs to give us better link up play running up the field or get into the centre and become more of a threat before even getting into the above conversation unfortunatley.

Dylan needs to grow some smarts and some efficiency of ball use. His decision making and ball use as as bad or barely better than Mitch Robinson, and he doesn't have Mitch's ability to stop or hurt opponents.

Point in case pick one out of Buckley or Nahas, I suspect it would be 50/50 for a decent sample size and that is damning!

Ball use isn't really much of an issue if you can't get the ball to begin with.

Buckley has to win more of his own ball, make better position for handball receives, become a tackling machine or, preferably, all three if his career is going to flourish.

Has so many laudable attributes but doesn't get it enough, too light, makes poor decisions and has scratchy disposal.  I hate to say it but I fear he is gone.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

If scardey-Tutt gets a game before you at this time of the year then you would have to seriously think your position is in jeopardy at Carlton

I'll assume you refer to Buckley, maybe but he would need to build significant bulk and core strength, at the moment he bounces off opponents.

If you are referring to Tutt, he has one significant midfield trick. Team-mates can use him as an open space indicator because that is the direction he always heads!

Had high hopes for him, along with Nick Graham, this year.
Both have been major disappointments I think.
Players like Byrne, Wright, Sumner and Kerridge have gone past them.

despite this I think Buckley will survive purely based on the ages of Simmo, Wright, Walker, Jammo, etc., etc.. But he would be very nervous about who we pick up.

I have little or no interest in Tutt so yes, I was referring to Buckley especially as he is what the thread is about.

Reward for effort.

Tutt has had at least one BOG in the few games.
