OVERVIEW
Dylan Buckley made his AFL debut in 2013, running out at Etihad Stadium in Round 3 against Geelong.
The 20-year-old, who is the son of triple premiership player Jim Buckley, was recruited to Carlton under the father/son rule in the 2011 National Draft.
Buckley played some impressive games in the VFL this year, but was hampered by a shoulder injury in the latter part of the season. Carlton’s No.7 has undergone shoulder surgery and remains hopeful of having a full pre-season.
