Simon Buckley

D.O.B:

Club:    
Collingwood
Honours:    
2005 NAB AFL Draft Pick No. 53 (Melbourne FC)
2009 NAB AFL Draft Pick No. 85 (Collingwood FC)

Standing at 189cm, Simon is an exciting young talent drafted from the Sandringham Dragons and has blistering pace to burn and uses it to his effect.

Simon debuted for the Demons in round 14 of the 2007 season and finished the season with 6 games. In 2008, Simon was given more opportunities in the senior side and played a number of positions, but mainly through the midfield and running off half-back.

Buckley played just one game in 2009 due to ongoing groin and hip injuries and was delisted by the Demons at the end of the season.

After being drafted to the Magpies in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft, the Collingwood recruit is hoping a change of scenery will bring about a change in luck for their new recruit.
