Spewing for Sheather but he will be a star
Is it feasible we can play 5 talls this week by having Buddy playing higher up the up ground, with McDonald and Reid as our key forwards, Ladhams/Hickey rotating as third tall forward?
This would allow us to become less predictable and Buddy centric, allowing Buddy to deliver forwards Sliver service with his elite kicking or even dobbing a few himself. He could be a difficult matchup in this role. Weather and ground could make this a feasible option this week. Only concern whether Buddy is up to playing this role considering his age/fitness level
Thank you , it doesnt work . His field kicking hasnt been good since 18 anyway an hes not as mobile as he used to be . He needs to be deeper fwd the older he gets , learn to mark . His marks inside 50 last yr were highest it had been since his first season with us so something hes worked on as he knows its the best way to keep going in his career
AFL site saying that Boak has been ruled out for Port and that they'll be playing the ruckman that they got in the midseason draft, Brynn Teakle. Good on Mr Teakle, I guess, but I find myself mangling his name to Bin Treacle.
We probably won't be going too tall, but Port might be. With Teakle brought in to ruck, Dixon, Marshall and Finlayson provide quite a tall forward line, Georgiades also comes in, but I imagine he will play on the wing. Marshall has been the best of their forwards this year with very accurate goal kicking. We have to control the ball in the midfield and limit their quality inside 50s, as their tall forwards are dangerous on the lead. We need to close down the space in their passing lanes. I think we should be able to generate a lot of run on the counterattack with their forward setup. Let's see.
