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.

Jones is the only player on our list with the size and leg speed, it's probably his moment to shine or stink.

Yep. I like jones but buddy is not a good match up for him.

Jones can get bamboozled and get caught in no mans land when he has to think....buddy will again get into Jones head and make him look stupid like last time.

Only thing is I’m hoping maybe Newman can pass some tips on as we had seldom few other options.

re Buddy, just need to zone off on him.

Play 2 different players on him.
One for when he is deep - inside 50
One when he wants to go on long leads to the wing.

We don't mind him getting the ball on the wing, we don't want him getting it deep.

Not just deep mate - anyway inside 60 and his a chance.

'deep' was inside 50, where you need to match him in the air.
Outside 50, you need to match him with speed.

Yes, he's a threat outside 50, but a different type of threat, requiring a different type of player.

Realistically, Kennedy is probably the only bloke with the form and match conditioning to come straight in, maybe SOJ but that would be 2 slower blokes, though against the Fluffy Ducks we might get away with it. Charlie is an obvious out, the other not so obvious (if SOJ was to come in). Fas hasn't set the world on fire but has slowly improved. Polson's speed (as Cuningham's replacement) is needed. No small, quick backman to replace Garlett... oh dear... thinking of going, but...
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

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.
I reckon Swans are heading through the floor Shawny, real opportunity for the boys this week:-)

Baggers, I can't wait to go this week, just need Little Aths Championship day to be washed out again and I'm on the train into Marvel Stadium:-)

Naggers,  if you think Fasolo has slowly improved,  he might be ready at this rate by round fourteen 2020.

Despite his crap DE% Jones has been OK, he's getting to contests and not being out-muscled. Not sure why he reverted to punching instead of marking again this week, it's a very bad habit.

I think he'll be motivated to be better this time, and Buddy is not is such sparkling form.

Buddy had a pretty interrupted pre season, and frankly looks a little lardy. You can never discount a champion, but if there's ever a time when we may get lucky, it's this game.

We'll play him back into form this week.

He looked dangerous on Friday and the umpires hated him.

Has to be a line in the sand and start winning. Enough of the honorable losses. Gold Coast.didnt settle for an honorable loss. They did the job and won. 2 wins in 37 games isn't good enough.

Levi’ for Charlie, then let Harry stay forward for the whole match and let Phillips have a genuine reliever.
