Buckley scored 6 in GWS's massive 78-point home win over Brisbane — a catastrophic sub-out so early the game had not started for him. It does not matter that the Giants won by a mile; 6 points is a medical sub or vest in the opening quarter. Cash gen is haemorrhaging at -$4,154/wk and the price has slid all season. Every verdict since R6 has been avoid and nothing has changed that assessment. If you still own him, this is the last reasonable exit before the price bottoms out completely — trade him this week.
