^ he does indeed have potential. It was only JLT, but he reminded me a lot of Leigh Matthews, the way his brute strength burst through packs like a tank. If he keeps screwing up then he'd have to go. But you'd hope this public disgrace is the making of the kid.

Bucks is not for mine in that bracket certainly when ya look at the hard nosed Clarko

This incident i am sure got thru some of Bucks exterior skin and hurt the bloke for no good reason when he is full on getting the troops ready

I actually feel for the guy being treated like that
Totally agree, he shows a tough exterior, but I reckon he is built on passion, anyone who tried so hard to be their absolute best, is, I reckon. One thing I have never doubted is that Bucks is giving the coaching gig everything he's got, I'm betting he is like that with every aspect of his life.
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

No harm in joining recently. But yep, looks like an agenda. Won't answer a simple question and hives off to bag coach and club. Byeee !

Let's hope it is the wake up call that will turn him around.

Hopefully it is his Dane Swan moment.

Showed in the JLT game against Essendon that he is poised to take the next step, so hopefully he knuckles down for a big second half of the year.

And yet not, strictly speaking, a disbar-able offence.

The Ignore button exists for a reason. I recommend it...

Fair weather?? Hmmm probably got more Pies battle scars from my unwavering support since 1977 than yourself Larry. My beef with Jackcass' opinions are that they perpetually geared around the "softly softly" approach to every Pie players on field and off field incapacities!
I love the Pies, hate Carlscum

Perhaps the club was going with it like Howes until exterior evidence was sourced by journos... In the end, he was going to miss weeks and they can declare him fit in two weeks [common if he gets a plate] and run him around in the twos. The injury will hurt us on field but hopefully will turn him around.

And regarding the top 8 whilst not being 100% set... you need to be 4-4 or better at round 8 otherwise I think there have been very very few with less than that in the last 17 years [Richmond were 2-6 in 2014] to make it.
Get back on top.

He's not merely a kid. He's a grown adult who was drafted very highly with a pick netted for an elite player. If this investment goes bust, it a major setback to the club's next 5 years.
