Buckley posted 76 in GWS's 14-point win over Essendon — 30 above his 46 BE in a genuine contest. That is his best score since returning from injury and the first time he has meaningfully cleared his BE in four rounds back. But 12 disposals for 76 SC is a fragile base, and cash gen is still bleeding at -$3,679 per week. One good game after a run of 62, 48, 51, 61 does not reopen the buy window. Avoid — watch one more week before committing.
