Don’t bring him back and put the heat on him. One of very few that bleeds blue blood. He really is a tractor. A farmers hardest working machine. Not fast. Not powerful. Just keeps on ticking no matter what.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

We're gonna be in for a heavy body on body contest ... so that rules out Garlett.

There are a few guys who have yet to perform at the level we want them to: Gibbons, Garlett, McGovern to mention just a few. Of the returning guys, Jack Silvagni and Kennedy were probably the pick of them in the VFL. Not quite the players to replace 2 small, fast guys and a key forward.

Kennedy's grunt could be handy against the Swans though?
Reality always wins in the end.

Possibly. He would be a welcome return.

The Swans are in a lull at the moment. Both teams do the contested ball quite well, so I reckon with Cripps ,Setters, maybe Kennedy, maybe Krooz, Walsh, Dow etc. we should be able to compete on the inside. Neither team seems to post big scores, so I'm expecting a closely fought, tight, low scoring and fairly dour affair. Swans by 2 goals.

Port beat us up at the clearances......we need to do a lot better for a team who are meant to have a  A grade midfield in the making.....if you take Cripps out of the equation the numbers are even worse.
If Swans get us at the clearances then Buddy will finish us off.........

Yep A Grade in 3-4 years time!!! Don’t expect A Grade output from a group of kids with a handful of games under their belt. Their time will come.

Yes, Port did win the clearances and CP's, but this is more the exception IMO.

"In the making" is the key phrase I think. They are young, have smaller bodies, or (like Setters) are basically debutantes, so they will lose intensity from time to time.

We needed our best players fit and available to beat a winless and desperate Swans outfit.

Kruezer and Charlie would be vitally important players this week and as neither will play just cant see us getting it done.

Their midfield is hard and experienced so Kennedy must come in to offer Cripps some protection but still too much is left on Cripps and reckon they will focus heavily on our main man and our second tier midfielders are all kids.

Can’t see us worrying them tbh.

Happy to be proven wrong.

We have no match up for Buddy, we've been his bitch for over a decade now.  Just the game to play him back into form.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?
