Would Dempster be able to keep up with Bateman? IMO we need to keep a close eye on Young and Bateman, when they are not shown respect they can tear teams apart.
I like Max on Buddy, (with some help of course)
Blake on Roughy looks dangerous but I guess it's our best option.
Williams is another danger man that is begining to sneak under people's radar.

Therein lies a key.Bernard Shakey wrote:Last year round 8 Buddy kicked 1.5, no Max and we lost by 4 goals.
Round Buddy Kicked 5.5 with Max in the team.
I'd put Max on Roughnut and Blake on Buddy (If he kicks 3.7 we win, if he kicks 9.1 who knows).
Buddy will have his usual ten shots on goal. No matter who plays on him, if Buddy has a shocker and kicks 2.8 or 3.7, it will be seen as a resounding victory to who had him. OTOH he kicks 8.2 or 9.1, Hawks win and Max/Blake etc. copped a flogging.
I just hope he kicks like he did the other day, he had every chance to kick 12 or 13 but fell well short.
I really don't have an answer for Buddy, other than to say let's hope he brings two right boots again.

Isn't the trick with Buddy to centre him, as he gets his goals from near the boundary line with his weirdo kicking style??
Can Fish run with Buddy a bit if he goes up the ground, and then swap with Blake when the ball is on their forward line perhaps???
I also wouldn't mind Yapper getting into Buddy's ear a bit from time to time given we won't have Bakes playing.....a bit of sledging wouldn't go astray against the young turk!!!

i rate judd higher than hodge (though not by much) so it would be worth considering.Eastern wrote:Gram??? Head to Head, like he did v Judd last week. Or is that going to the same well twice, which could be one time too many? !!bigcarl wrote:who will take on hodge? he's probably as important to them as franklin and stopping him should be a big priority.

I reckon a lot of people on here are underestimating the importance of Williams to their team. He's an excellent lead-up medium-sized forward, and is one of the best set shots in the league.
Max on Franklin
Chips on Williams
Blake on Roughead
McQualter on Mitchell.
Gram VS Hodge (head-to-head)

In fact it was quite interesting what we did against the blues.
Shut down the outside mids (Murphy, Stevens).
Leave the inside mids (Judd) in a head to head with an outside mid of ours.
Which means, they can get the ball, but have no-one to deliver it to, so they blaze away on their own and it is not as effective.

I agree with this one.Bernard Shakey wrote:Last year round 8 Buddy kicked 1.5, no Max and we lost by 4 goals.

I'd put Max on Roughnut and Blake on Buddy (If he kicks 3.7 we win, if he kicks 9.1 who knows).
Take a risk, Hawks forward line works best when oughie kicks his 4 or so.
I would put Blake on Franklin, Max on Roughead and Gwilt on Williams, with BJ playing up the ground a bit, Gilbert up forward and S Fisher floating back and blocking space in front of Franklin.
Risky for Blake and Gwilt, but throw them a challenge I say and see if they are up to it.......
