Sorry Buku Khamis

[MrChristo]

No real need to post. I just didn't see a lot of humble pie being consumed in threads after the round...

I expect there's a lot here that go off angry, half cocked off a loss and don't bother when things go to plan (typical internet review, right?), but he was good v. Melbourne.
He was even better v. Gold Coast.

Just sayin'....

Edit: (Ooops Note to self: Don't try to be antagonistic after Monday afternoon beers...)

He was good - if he builds his confidence and feels he belongs - look out

Probably start by spelling his name correctly in the thread title if you’re going to pot others…

Just sayin’….

Apologies to the fine people of Azerbaijan.

It was criminal that they made him, a natural born back flanker, play as a key forward. And also Easton Wood

If he can play like that regularly then hooray for us.

I also thought he was decent v Melbourne despite a couple of bad plays. Could not understand people calling for him to be dropped ahead of Coffield who was hardly eye-catching.

Why do people call him Baku all the time?

 

[geoffjennings79]

Sorry Baku Khamis that you are constantly confused with Western Bulldogs defensive interceptor Buku Khamis.

 

[HK_Bulldog]

I thought Buku was pretty good. Marking was excellent and he beat Walter’s in a few battles. Only played a handful of games so still not the finished product yet. At his size he needs to be versatile like Morris or a dasher like Wood. Based on 2 games evidence, his style is closer to the former than the latter. Will be interesting whether he has the ability to shut down a Betts type like Morris used to do.

 

[Al dente]

his contested marking has improved, positive signs and i have more hope than i did last week, but still gets lost and spectates too often on the ground, still a ways to go until he is a complete AFL player

 

[Planet Dogs]

Buku as a player reminds me a bit of Ryan Hargraves.
Loved it when Hargraves would sneak forward from defense and kick a goal.
Hopefully, Buku can snag regular goals (he is a great set-shot kicker).

I think often it's an autocorrect thing. My phone doesn't recognise Buku as a word and changes it to Baku (some kind of textile?).

He's taken some spectacular marks which is more Woodlike

Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan

 

[geoffjennings79]

Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan

Is there a potential AFL audience there?

Maybe do a Port, and play an 'away' game there as the 'home' team?!

 

[Bald]

Buku is us finding another KPD (Hello JOD) away from being one of our most important players.

hes not actually a bad forward though. If we wernt somehow crazy over stocked for tall forwards, thats where we'd want him.

 

[LondonBulldog]

I've been one of the most vocal supporters of Khamis on this site for years. Should have played in defence last year. Keep building the fitness and offensive side of being a defender and he will really come on. Always knew is intercepting and effort to make or cause a contest was there.

 

[Bulldog rick]

Buku did well on the weekend and I hope he continues.

Forget about Baku we should be sending a team to Buka

Give him the Jamarra deal. 8 years. JUH gets the scraps

That was a fabulous goal he kicked on Sunday. Showed real technique. Naughton, pay attention.

 

[BulldogMuscle]

Can’t blame the kid, we ****ed around his development something fierce considering we threw him all over the ground.

Put him back, leave him back, don’t look back.

 

[geoffjennings79]

Imagine if Baku or Buka applied for the 20th licence to balance out Tasmania!
Surely they'd chase Buku just for the alliteration potential?
"Baku's Buku..."
"Buku bucks Bulldogs for big bucks with Buka..."
