Re: You do that Buku

Can we put Webb on the LTIL and pick up another rookie?

Maybe if we were Carlton.

Re: You do that Buku

Sam Power told our very own Choco that we were not recruiting anyone else (or words to that effect - see I think it was the events thread). So if he's told Choco the truth, we are not doing anything else up to and including anything with Webb.

I think it was that we were full up for spots. I'm not sure if that changes if Webb moves to a LTI player but I doubt it

I assume if we were doing anything with Webb it'd be before all list lodgements. I'm not sure why for two months there's been discussion about his future despite nothing coming out from him, his manager or the club. Maybe the club is just standing by him in his time of need.

Got his signature today. Wished him good luck for the year ahead.

This guy is the one I would like to do really well. He has got a hell of a leap on him. If he plays like his highlights package he could be anything. Good luck young man I hope you do well

Yeah got that at the family day last week at Whitten Oval. Was good to get JJ’s as well as he was in the same booth with Buku.

Thanks for your five years and commitment to your development Buku. Hopefully you land on your feet at another AFEL club next year. I had big hopes but wish you nothing but the best for your future young man.

He has been out of form and doesn't deserve a senior spot

Where would you play him BT. I'd have him ahead of Hannan.

I?m simply wishing him well. From the heart.

He can’t get a game in any position. Back or forward is irrelevant. Hannan has had one good game for our club and JOD averages 5 touches a game. Khamis isn’t part of our plans. So we should just accept it and I really hope he gets a shot elsewhere next year. I loved him from his TAC days and really hope he gets a shot elsewhere next year.

Just a gut feel (not backed up by stats) but I feel like if he had been given a run (say like Arty) we would see a different side to him, I’m a big fan and I feel like he’s been a bit hard done by in regards to selections.

i am probably not on the Buku train.

I see a guy who plays tall but isn't tall enough to be a KPD and doesn't show any traits to compete at ground level. He shows no pace and also seems to be not an endurance runner.

He marks the ball well but doesn't read the play well enough to utilise that skill enough as an interceptor.

In reality his best form has been as a marking forward, who can kick goals, but where does he sit in that space.

As a second ruck, his lack of height detracts despite having a good leap and both Lobb and Darcy will get picked ahead of him if/when they are fit.

As a tall forward he sits comfortably behind Jamarra, Naughton, Darcy and even Josh Bruce. He doesn't have the running capacity to fill in roles that Hannan gets chances at.

Buku just lacks the tools to really make it in the modern game.
