So life after Buddy truly begins this week. Its very sad to see champions reach the end of their careers but that is life I guess, and we have the prospect of seeing the next stars come, just as we have had Plugger, Kelly, Mickey O, Goodes, Kennedy and Franklin etc come in and have amazing careers. aw
So we are up against GWS (but the AFL website also says our next opponent are Gold Coast if you look at the ladder... think the Gather Round has stuffed it up somehow). GWS are a sneaky chance for a top four spot if they beat us, Port, Essendon and Collingwood. We are still in with a top eight chance if we can win three to four of our remaining matches, thanks to Fremantle beating Geelong and Richmond failing to beat St Kilda.
We need to overtake two of Geelong, Bulldogs and Carlton to make the eight. We have tough games against GWS away, our bogey team, Gold Coast at home, Adelaide away and Melbourne at home. Doable!
So Hickey went well in the VFL so maybe he comes in for Bud and McClean goes to the forward line.
Stephens as sub for Clarke.
Can't see too many other changes given the rest of the team is fit.
