Is he favourite in the Rising Star yet?

That's why the loss of Heeney to an undisciplined act upsets our forward line. How can a team cover Heeney, Gulden, Wicks and Papley. The opposition tries to cover Gulden as our best small forward with their best small backman then up bobs Paps. Heeney takes their best medium back, so now it is easier to cover our forwards. Lets hope GWS gets fixated with Buddy and tries to double or triple team him. Heeney is a huge loss to our team balance.
No doubt Heeney is a significant loss, no doubt about it. But Buddy will increasingly take more of the focus as he finds form, and we have midfielders that can do a good job up there (Parker in particular), and maybe Hayward if given the chance will grab it. It will be harder for us for sure, but I'm confident we can make it work. Going to be a good test for us on Saturday however with Rampe out too!

"Unbelievable!" -- Nick Davis leaves his mark on the 2005 semi final
It's hard to feel sorry for ourselves with injuries when the Giants are missing 7 regulars from their best 22, including Coniglio, Whitfield, Perryman and Phil Davis, who usually plays on Buddy.
Gulden is not only a great money kick player but one who puts his body on the line in defensive actions as well as gets to the bottom of a pile to get his hands on the footy. He was the one who did a number of acts like that against Essendon. I don’t remember Sam Mitchell doing that very often. So just from that perspective he is probably in a league of his own - elite kick and great courage and determination.
I have wondered whether the fact that his goal shooting was off was a reflection that the opposition (especially the Dons) are on to him a bit more and hence he was being forced to shoot when his preference would have been to lay off. But certainly he's missed a few that his career to date suggests he would normally ice. More upside!
And as to King and Montagna, they are certainly two of the best analysts of the games - it's somewhat surprising to me that the old Saints legends - Riewoldt, Del Santo & Montagna - are among 3 of the very best going around in the AFL TV media game at the moment. Riewoldt in particular is a stand out and has quickly become the star of OTC.
