Oh Buddy

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Won't even consider him until Round 12

Too many Round 11 prems already

Same boat and near sinking weight.

I started him but if I didn't there's no way I'd be bringing him in this week. Not until he's strung together a couple of decent games

Buddy is Buddy though. Can easily go bang and he has a BE of 124 so won't go up too much. Seriously thinking of getting him this week. I have currently 18 playing for round 11 bye but with Buddy it will be 17 if I trade him. Will plan to do some trades to ensure there's a min of 18 playing anyway each of the bye rounds.

Buddy v Macrae for me. Probably have to pick Jack due to his consistency

[PICCOLLO]

He's due.

Im just hoping its next week.

[My Chumps]

He's looked good in every game so far this year, just hasn't had much in terms of delivery or opportunity. Swans should win the next five if they're any hope of resurrecting their season so now would be an ideal time to jump on imo, regardless of his b/e.

I can give Sydney only 2 definite wins in the next 5. Being against Carlton and Brisbane in the next 2 weeks. St Kilda in Melbourne, Hawthorn (despite their bad form) and Bulldogs are no certainties.

If you want Buddy in your side you should look to bring him into your side in the next 2 weeks.

I am bringing Macrae this week but will be watching closely.

Play the Doggies after the bye, North is the fifth team.

3 wins (Hawks @SCG is a win), North and one (relative) toughy vs the Saints. I'm obviously biased but they win the next five (provided Jordan Foote is out of the team ::))

Jordan foote's omission has made my day

[PowerBug]

Key Forwards vs Brisbane this season:

TJ Lynch 3.2, 101
Joe Daniher 3.0, 78
Nick Riewoldt 3.2, 161
Jack Riewoldt 4.2, 122
Jake Stringer 3.3, 90
Charlie Dixon 4.3, 151

Much like last season where the key forwards went really big. Obviously these guys play different roles slightly, but if Buddy can't score well against this team, i think we might have to look at getting 6 forwards that are better than him :-\

[PowerBug]

Well it looks like Buddy isn't having a horrible season, and is at least able to score like the guys before him (in the post above). Hopefully this turns his form around and he gets more 90s and 100s instead of 70s :P

[Judd Magic]

Meh, its only the Lions.

Wouldn't go saying Buddy is back yet......

[PowerBug]

Very true, but if he didn't score today then he'd be a big problem in our sides I think.

Lions have the worst defense when it comes to containing key forwards.

So yeah your're right. If Buddy didn't score well today then more questions would be asked about him.

Will be interesting to see if he can back it up next week or will he go back to scoring 70's again?  :-\

Should have had the balls to make him C. But got him last week knowing he'll turn it around.

[Holz]

I knew it was coming but stupid nank meant i went docherty and played Parsons.

I lost like 100 points this week alone.

he is coming in this week. Should go very well against North.
