Jack Buckley

Has become a genuine star as GWS’s No. 2 key defender, successfully carrying out several important jobs in support of Sam Taylor. Averaged 13.9 disposals and 5.8 marks in 23 matches last season, both comfortably career-best numbers, and with 66 games under his belt is on the cusp of something special. Showed his football brain at the highest level by catching Isaac Heeney after being used as a stepladder in the qualifying final.

Honours

Coaches Award (2023), Best Finals Player (2024), NEAFL Player of the Year Award (2020).
