    Buckley To miss Start of Season

    Has tweaked the left hammy. The opposite one that he had operated on.

      I think Buckley's body is now deserting him. Although his mind might say yes to keep playing, his body is definitely saying no. Maybe he should really consider retirement after this, before it becomes too embarassing for him.

        I think he's about two seasons to late for him to retire with any dignity and at the top of his game....

          Yeah, he really embarrassed himself against Brisbane with those 29 possessions and six goals.

            And who won that game???

            It's a bit like posting on RWO really. Just because you have posted over 5000 times, or had more than 25 possessions. It doesn't really matter when none of them are quality and you are continually a loser....

              Collingwood but that's totally irrelevant to the discussion.

                  I got a bit upset over this news (surprisingly).
                  Poor Bucks.
                  He is a living legend of the game, after all.
                  Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
                  Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

                    I hate to see quality players get injured. Watching the best and biggest in the competition is half the joy of watching football.

                      Well, yeh, ok....if it's a Nathan Thompson doing a knee & missing a season when he's at the top of his career, sure, that sux.

                      When it's a bloke like Bucks or (to a lesser extent) Hamill that's had a good long career, has seen some injuries, and, guess what, they've done another injury, it's all a little "meh". I think if Bucks didn't play another game even he'd be satisfied that he'd had a pretty good run.

                      The thing about injuries to opposition stars is, sure you wish them well, but mainly it's the realisation of how easy it would be to happy to one of your own. Cue Barrygate.

                          Posessions are like posts on RWO.... they really don't mean a lot when your losing....

                            You might think you're being clever but you're wrong. Paul Kelly won the Brownlow in 1995; playing for a losing team has nothing to do with whether a player is a quality footballer or not. Buckley's 2006 was better than some high profile Swans players.

                              He's still way ahead of "just making up the numbers".
