Start Buddy or Staker

Thoughts not a question I thought I would be asking but!!!

Hawthorn play Port Adelaide this week. Buddy's last 3 scores against Port Adelaide are 113, 162 and 114.

Buddy has averaged 92.6 over his last 5 games while Staker has averaged 78.4 over his last 5 games.

You picked Buddy as a premium, not Staker.

My advice is to go with Buddy.

Can you loophole at all ?

[whynot102]

Cant loophole unfortunately this week.

[Blues Blues Blues]

Go buddy, if you can't loophole...

[jfitty]

Have to stick with your premiums I reckon!

[Vinny]

Buddy as said above good record vs Port

[roo boys!]

Yeah with no loophole gotta be sticking with your Prems.

Spuddy it is

Where did I last hear about a good record vs port??? Hmmm...

Oh yeah, a couple of weeks ago with Swan :P

Still. Back Franklin, but I wouldn't be expecting any 160's, I'll be happy if he cracks the ton. Tempted to loophole with Staker as well but I have NicNat, so I would be screwed if he's a late withdrawal!

Captain My Captain :(

[Vinny]

Haha yeah that's true - Plus Port are better than they were last year :P

[Keeper27]

still sticking with buddy, sure he's been down this year but i'm still gonna start him.
staker is fine, and i'll probably post in the Supdly thread if buddy is outscored but im still gonna start him.

To be honest I think it's a marginal call. Staker is probably more dependable but only to get you 70-80. You'll kick yourself if you play him and Buddy goes 140. But equally, you'll kick yourself for not playing him if Buddy goes only 50.
There's good reasons to play both, to behonest at this stage I will play Buddy but it will come down to what my opponent's team looks like on Friday.
