Dylan Buckley Biography

GWS delist Dylan Buckley.

"Dylan was only at the Giants for a short time but made a big impact, particularly off the field," GWS list manager Jason McCartney said.

"He didn’t get to show us his best football but certainly leaves the club having made a considerable contribution to our culture.

"He’s already started to forge a successful media career while in the football system and we have no doubt he’ll continue to go from strength to strength in the next chapter of his life."

Carlton delist Dylan Buckley.

"Dylan has been a popular member of our playing group and was always a team-first player. He is a wonderful character and contributed in a positive way to the culture of our football club," Carlton football manager Andrew McKay said.

Dylan Buckley and Nick Graham will play on at Carlton in 2017 after signing one-year deals with the club.

"Both Dylan and Nick have a strong work ethic and a continual desire to improve their game, which they've displayed since arriving at the club," Carlton's head of football Andrew McKay said.

"They're team players who are well respected around the club, and every time they run out in the navy blue jumper you know they're going to give their all."

Dylan Buckley receives a two-match suspension from the VFL tribunal after being charged with rough conduct.

Buckley was automatically handed a one-game penalty. However, under the VFL tribunal's guidelines, a previous charge in the last 12 months adds a further match onto any ban, which led to the two-game suspension for Buckley.

Dylan Buckley has re-signed with Carlton for two years in a deal that ties him to the club until the end of 2016.

"Having supported Carlton his whole life, Dylan is very passionate about the club and we're very happy to have him commit to terms to stay here," Carlton football manager Andrew McKay said.

"We've certainly seen Dylan grow as a person and a player in his time at Carlton so far. He has worked really hard in the gym to add weight and build strength, and now he is starting to reap the benefits of all his hard work."

Dylan Buckley is the rising star nominee for round 2 after collecting 18 disposals playing from half-back.

"I was just pretty excited and pretty rapt. It didn't really even cross my mind," Buckley said about the nomination.

"To be nominated is obviously a huge honour and something that I never thought that I would be able to do."

Dylan Buckley makes his AFL debut for Carlton at Docklands Stadium with 5 disposals (2 kicks and 3 handballs), a tackle and a goal in a 16-point loss to Geelong.

Carlton youngster Dylan Buckley has suffered a freak finger injury at training and will miss 10 weeks after impressing in the NAB Cup.

"I didn't actually see it, I heard about it a bit afterwards but I think it was a tackle … he had the surgery this morning," teammate Lachlan Henderson said.

"As a youngster, he obviously needs to put on a bit of weight but his game style and the way he plays the game is perfect, a bit like his old man, so he was going really well."
