Recommitted Jack Buckley [signs til 2026]

[The Nostradamus]

Apparently the number 1 rated key defender this year after the first 7 rounds based on afl champion data stats

195cm 25 year old who is out of contract and over his injuries.

Should be in line for a decent pay day

hed be on a rookie amount contract so relative to that he will

even if its the afl average wage of 400-450k that he gets it be at least double what he is on now

He won't even get that much. Blake Acres was only offered a base contract of 150 K last year by Freo (aside from match payments)

Also he's Ben Buckley's son.

l think I read somewhere he's doing a bachelor of commerce at UNSW.

He's a bit undersized against the gorillas, but I think he'd be a handy pick up for a team like ours with SFA KPP depth, if he was entertaining relocation.

Taylor and him are great mates. Probably the best KPD duo in the comp. Club recruited him from local footy when nobody else showed any interest. His form before his knee injury was excellent and he has come back just as good. Don't see him going anywhere.

Really like him. Think he can be AA one day

Pretty sweet deal being able to throw local footballers on your cat b list.

Every club is able to do what GWS has with Buckley, Owies and now Cincotta from Carlton are Cat B Rookies.

Wasn’t he a NSW zone selection?

I wonder if anybody on a large contract would agree to drop 50k a year to help retain players like Buckley. It happens in American sports sometimes.

Pretty sure the captain has already done this but in AFL they have to extend the contract to do it.

Crazy the way he was treated by Freo. Best 22 for them all year and playing good footy, suddenly only offered a one year deal and traded away for a massive bargain price to your mob of a third rounder. Compare his form to the Freo list's form so far this year and he'd be a top 10 player there easily.
