That's disappointing for Buckley. :(

Has all the tools to make a real impact at senior level; any idea what the issues are for him currently?


This.

The kid can play, what's going on??

I suppose this puts the writing on the wall for Army. Not even a praccy match to try to convince people he can still improve...

They know what he brings and the positions he can play.

Doesn't mean his days are over, although I wouldn't expect to see him every week.

gibbs simpson yazz out - may cut the delivery to watson....
So that means 5 of our best 22 out (7 if you count casbolt and buckly...)
Wonder if they will try the burst of fast breaks from the half back without Yazz and Simmo or if they will put that back in the bag for the H&A...
Good to have a hitout against a top team. Reading about how the pies got demolished by the doggies, not sure we have put our senior team up against a decent team yet. Cant understand the omission of buckley sheehan and Graham but I suppose they will get their chance through the NB.
Looking forward to it.

..played some games injured last year, is a foot soldier but will play MM's style so he could play a defensive fwd role..

Armfield played the WCE game, but he's a bit meat and potatoes and his form is well established. Will play a role through the season.

Byrne not playing VFL after all - probably going to play AFL due to Yarran's illness.

There's your squad then. Unsure on the bench/sub configuration for this round, nobody even bothers to report how the pre-season comp works these days...

As if they couldn't forward on the memo...

Yeah it is about the list and they know all about army.
He does have attributes we need
They know that. But they are also aware of his shortcomings.

Its a practise game. Its when we can try things.

Good time to try out other attacking HB's whilst Yarran and Simpson are out.
May give us even more fexibility when we need to uleash Yarran and/or Simpson into the midfield mix, pusching forward.
Not good for Buckley and a great chance for Clem.

Interested to see if Dick can kick with acuracy.
Another challenge to prove they belong for Tutt, Jones, Broekhurst, Clem.
Biggest challenge today is for Watson. He has to show some form if hes to be considered for round 1.
His season may just slip by in a blink...out of sight out of mind syndrome.

No doubt Gibbs Yarran Simpson will be pushing at least 3 out of todays side.
