Yeah thats a pretty fair point - do you think that the off season surgery was that serious though? He was running only a few days afterwards and it was supposed to clean things up for the rest of the season - i usually avoid guys that have any surgery pre-season but I thought maybe it wasn't really that serious - might even be beneficial in terms of longevity. I am concerned having wells back in but I think it can either go two ways - he drops points as NDS and Wellsy take it off higgo or he goes up. Last year there were a few games where he got tagged a big due to his influence during the season but do you think having Wells and NDS may benefit him more? He looked pretty good in the first NAB and was racking up possies - looking last last year (maybe even better), but then again no NDS and Wells in the first NAB.
He did feature top 3 in the roos goal kicking I think too? Could this possibly improve?? At the moment I took out Dusty and added Higgins so I can fit in hall..!!
Had some big games there as a Hawk early in his career, before the Hawks started to play Sydney at the Olympic stadium. He's best played there as a deep forward when they clear it out for him. CHF's get lost up the ground at Sydney; the ball just goes over their head on such a small ground. His running around the mids is wasted in the congestion of the small ground. He had some huge games there in his 1st season in Sydney from memory, maybe not so much last year tho. Always feel that the ground is too small to fit Tippett, Bud and Reid / resting ruck.
Cheers, thought something like that. That ground really isn't suited for a player like him.

Weak! lol
Brereton and Dunstall struggled playing together there too, even against some not great Sydney teams. Suited the Sydney teams with Lockett then Hall, playing with a bunch of smaller flank / pocket types.
100 avg really?, wouldn't of guessed that. But that Buddy rollercoaster has some real highs and lows.
Lyon has confirmed that Bennell has injured his calf in yesterdays game. No idea how long he is out for.

Depends on your perspective I guess. Personally I see them only winning half of those games with Crows, Giants, Cats and Tigers all good chances to beat them. Saints have a habit of picking off early wins too and Lions won't be easybeats this year, although both at home so you'd probably give them those. I'll happily give them Bombers and Blues.
The other perspective- Saints, Bombers and Blues are probably the 3 weakest teams and they only play them once meaning the 2nd half of the season is going to be much tougher.

I want him in. There's too many options to get him on the field though and at the moment he's sitting on my bench along with Menadue. Ultimately they might have to make way for cheaper rookies if they're staying on the bench.
