Z Merrett Vs Buddy Franklin

[smashbox]

Who would you choose between these forwards?

[justaverage]

Buddy, has the runs on the board and although will miss games I think Zerret will need a rest also

[ronl]

I have both, and they both bring different packages to the table:  Merrett is steady, doesn't get his hands dirty, and you can probably bank on scores ranging from 80-120 from here on out, barring injury of course.  Buddy, of course is a completely different package who will normally reach his breakeven, but has the tools to go way beyond that when he's in the mood. I guess it's sort of like beauty and the beast.

As for who to get... I have neither and don't want Buddy. He has been great and I wish I started him now but he should have a few 60-80 scores at some point, particularly as the big wet starts... His elbows and stray high contact shots are something that could occur... Depression may be an issue at some point...and for me Zerrett doesn't have those drawbacks.
I have Merrett in my sights but am flipping between him and Gunston.

Back on topic, Buddy always misses matches, that's enough for me to select Merrett.

No more of that thankyou people. Let's keep the discussion on the topic at hand, Merrett vs Franklin. Keep the other stuff to private messages.

Jacobs named to line up on Merrett this week is a little concerning.  :-\

Would go to Zaha before Merrett wouldn't he?

I would of thought so to RD but named to play on Zerrett for what that's worth.
I have both so either way i'm in deep doo doo with one of them coping the tag. #hatetaggers

It just means his score will go up with all those contested possessions he'll be getting. ;)

Haha a glass half full man I like it, hope so mate but Jacobs is pretty good at shutting blokes down. Probably the best at it going around right now.

So tell me again, why do North need to shut anyone at Essendon down?

It's not about needing to

If there is no one to shut down, then Jacobs doesn't play

Tagging is all he is good for
