Quite often he has someone in front of him and another defender behind him. But I agree that a lot of the time he is 1 on 1, but the ball doesn’t get delivered to his advantage, just up in the air which enables the defender to punch away.
He has never been a great overhead mark so our guys need to be more accurate kicking to him, if they chose this option. He is not like Harry McKay who will outmark most defenders and even a pack of players. If we play through Buddy, we need to play to his strengths.
