I don't think he will play finals for us next year... but he will get to the 100 games mark around mid 2015:) I agree with Dave and think it will mainly be up to JT and Adams next year to demand their spot in the team - |
Adams and JT will need to improve their kicking skills if they're to genuinely overtake Ball over the next 2 years. |
Ball is not a Great Kick either

I just watched the Carlton-Collingwood game again, JTs kicking was quite good at times but Adams on the hand was pathetic! he can't even get a drop punt to spin lol and he coughed up a few handballs under limited pressure as well, I don't think Adams is going to make it, his kicking is beyond poor.

Actually I think Screw could end up being the perfect sub for us. He's not particularly fast or tall, but he can play either end, has a great defensive game, and vitally has experience which we are short of and can be the difference in a tight finish. Given that we are more likely to be in front at ¾ time than behind, Bally might be just the guy, as he can kill contests and can also produce the impossible winning goal - remember Hawthorn & WC in the 2011 finals.
It's only natural the bloke is not 100% yet, he's missed a lot of footy, but he works hard and is the type of guy who will go above and beyond to get the side over the line.
Actually the Melbourne game might be the one in which Buckley showed me that he is becoming the coach we all hoped he could become. A couple of moves in particular, such as moving Grundy to FF where he showed some remarkably good leading and marking (although sadly not kicking) skills. Bally as the sub might've been a master stroke, after all, the Dees didn't add a major during Bally's time onfield.
I've been extremely unconvinced about Buckley as a coach, but I'd like nothing better than to have him prove me wrong, and he is showing signs!
