It looks like being a wet game. So maybe don't risk Buddy on a heavy track? Roughead back so Reg but otherwise go small?

Forecast is 80% chance of rain on Saturday afternoon and evening - 10 to 20 ml.
Friend of mine looked at the concept of "bogey teams" for me a while ago. He came up with the "bogeyness score" which is a measure of wins versus expected wins against each team.
Who's Your Team's "Bogey Team"?
In his words "We see for Sydney then, for example, that Richmond is something of a bogey team but less so than Collingwood and only about as much as Adelaide and Geelong."
Surely Cameron has to come in for this match if Buddy is out? He is a better option than Rohan as a fwd and his stats in the NEAFL can't be ignored.
I get the impression the often when Bud doesn’t play, we actually do ok. We are certainly less predictable with our forward entries. Including R8 ... v Hawthorn ... Ronke’s 7 goal breakout game

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect... MT
Fox Buddy Robbo
Grundy Rohan Dawson
If its wet no point playing Buddy and the rest will work wonders
Clarko better when he k kws where its going forward
Horse gives Rohan And Reg a chance to prove their worth before finals
Also brings guys back before Reid and potentially Mills which means only one rusty player at a time in finals
If Buddy is out, I wonder if we'd consider playing Grundy forward? Without Buddy we would have such an inexperienced forward line for such a high pressure, important match. Just spitballing really.
I think they should play Rohan at full forward if Buddy doesn't play. He lined up there when we played Hawthorn without Buddy earlier in the year. He and Hayward would contest for marks along with McCartin, while Ronke and Paley crumb.
