thoughts on buddy?

[mick_k25]

Also Buddys ceiling is huge & his SC history is good to excellent in the last 5 years.

What if you just look at the last 18 months? Is it still good to excellent? I actually don't know but I'm staying away. I think his price is probably a fair reflection of his performance over that period.  Sure you could gamble on a significant improvement and it might pay off.  And I can definitely see he would be a great luxury as a loophole player for the rounds that it fitted in with your bench cover Fwds.  Actually I may have just talked myself into the gamble after all.

Lock him in boys, the Swans are about to get on an even bigger roll

[Ramus]

I am just not sold on Buddy, even at his generous price. It is a risk to bring him in, and a player like Parker/Dahlhaus/Gray (whom I am choosing between) don't present such a risk up front as they are averaging 100+ and offer consistency.

I just feel like if I buy in to Buddy because he is cheap that I will pay the price in consistency, but with risk comes reward and he may score big?

I don't think at this time of the year, where I need to make decisions for the long term, that I can take the risk with him.

It's a no from me.

Seems like he's back in form. Definitely the addition of Tippett has helped him gain his groove. With a BE of 49, he's not going to get any cheaper. Time to get him now or never

[Rusty00]

Lonergan had his measure whilst he was at the Hawks so I was reluctant to consider him this week. Lonergan out now.......hmmn decisions, decisions.

[Vinny]

I'm definitely on now.

-Looks great with Tipett back in the side.
-Imagine he converted more that night he kicked 2.7! Him getting that much ball is a good sign
-No Enright/Lonergan this week makes the Cats defence even weaker.
-405k!

Only risk is him getting injured but at his price I'll take that risk.

[hawkers65]

Got on him at 397k with the intention of him going 100+ for the rest of the year, key was Tippet back combined with Sydney's great form. His small scores this year have come with no Tippet and in pouring rain/playing or getting injured.

If you didn't jump on last week, he is a no brainer this week!

I've thought about Wingard but he seems to need to score goals to score points now - He doesn't seem to be getting the mid time he was last year

you are correct, thats my only hesitation about getting him

[Mat0369]

Mackie and Taylor are both still in the side, they can do the job on Buddy. I read Chris Scott said the Blitz might go to him, if that is the case then expect him to go big.

[RaisyDaisy]

Wingard's highest score for the year is 104 - don't understand the hype. If he was less than 400k then maybe, but not at current price

I'm not rushing to get Buddy either, will only go up 20k or so this week anyway

[no eye deer]

I'm jumping on. Hope he goes 170! I need a break this year. On second thoughts he can bubble away on about a ton a week for a month, then start going big when everyone's fwds are full! ;D
