Buckley is (or was at any rate) a better defender than Martin Deady and an infinitely better centre-half than Brian O'Callaghan looked for much of this year to say nothing of the likes of Boyle and Roche being played out of position there. With Paddy's injury record of late centre-half is definitely a problem position for us. Buckley or Finucane would defintely be worth a look in an ideal world though it's all a bit rudundant given Buckley's work commitments.
Judge is still only a young lad too and would be worth a squad place based on his previous time with the club. Kavanagh aside we're a bit light on quick wingers. Shane Tracey is technically excellent but not overly quick or mobile. I wouldn't start Judge ahead of either of them but that doesn't mean he's not worthwhile. Don't know how interested he is though?
