Gary Buckenara Hawthorn Highlights

Footballing genius. Excitement machine. Super talent. Bucky was all of it. 1982-1990. Big marks, freak goals. And he picked Bud & Rough over Tambling. Superstar.

Forgot how good this bloke was . Contested mark was first class

Love your work. Bucky was a freakishly good player. I remember how he tore apart the 85 reserves Grand Final, he should have played in the main game that day.

[@alansimmonds9030]

There was a good half dozen blokes in that Reserves side that should have played in the Seniors that day.....we made some shocking selection errors for that game.

@@alansimmonds9030 100% agree. We had no chance of winning anyway, but what horrible selections! Rubber played his only game that year. :)

Super special player.

He has everything you want as a footballer

[@hanajinks1044]

Can nearly fit him in my 18...definitely in the best 20 I've seen...absolute freak.

[@anthonypirera7598]

Great player one of the best of all time

[@alansimmonds9030]

Never thought he could be as good as Bomber Hendrie, when he replaced him....but he actually eclipsed him....Mind you, my expectations had been tempered somewhat, by the failure of one Rick Davies before him. Was there for his debut out at Moorabbin where he did O.K & snaffled 3 opportunist goals.....the game where Tucky got reported for the only time in his career, for striking one Simon O'Donnell.

Sometimes he kicked for goal like bomber hendrie I saw a game against fitzroy at the Junction oval where Bucky kicked 2 goals 7 behinds 2 out if bounds on the full 11 Shots on goal playing half forward Crazy stats
