Buckley prematurely celebrates goal...only scores a behind

Buckley prematurely celebrates goal....only scores a behind

Dylan Buckley got a harsh reality check during the first term of Carlton's loss to Essendon when he thought he had slotted home a goal.

The Blues youngster burst through the Bombers midfield to power home a strong finish, celebrating wildly with the Carlton fans.......except for one thing. He only scored a behind.

With his back turned to the play, the 'goal' was waived off and to add insult to injury, the Bombers went coast-to-coast to slot home a goal of their own.

There's a lesson here kids....always wait for the signal before you celebrate.
