Does anybody else think there's a chance of Ibbotson playing on Buddy?
Buddy doesn't seem to be a big marking player, ~80% of his goals seem to be on the run.
Not likely I know but surely a possibilty?
Also Morabito was mentioned as a wildcard to play as a KPD?
Probably similar sort to Johno in terms of providing attack from defense. His run could be invaluable.

Unfortunately for us, buddy has actually developed a solid grab this year. he takes plenty of contested marks atm... Ibbo will probably be on him at some stages but I'd say mainly silva will take it. Will take a team effort to restrict his output

i know he can take a mark, but Ibbo's got a good grab too. ANyway i wasnt tryna say he cant mark, but more Reid + Tippett are probably harder to stop in the air ... especially when they're that big playing on guys like ibbo.

Yeah i know what you mean. IMO ibbo would probably be able to out-position reid but buddy is probably too big and strong. definitely a valid point though. not sure either ibbo or silva have the tank to go with buddy all day... buddy's a bloody hard worker when he doesn't drop his bundle
Ibbo is perfect for the third man in....taking the intercept marks in front on buddy/TippettTippett
Is that right?
Windguru is showing higher rainfall in Sydney on Saturday than it is today.
Although Margetts and Nicholls were bad in the Port game, Meredith was the worst.
They balance one another out.

All I know for certain is its wet
This is almost certainly in bad taste but isn't that kind of like saying getting lung cancer balances out having AIDS?

Nah, Nicholls is randomly s**t, will screw over one side via incompetence instead of bias. Probably tilts in Geelong's favour if he decides to tilt his incompetence to go with Pannell.

It barely rained in the city today but looked like there might have been some rain out a bit further west. Right now (I live in the east) it is windy, fairly cold but not much rain about.
I think it is expected to rain more tomorrow
All wear black boots !!!!!.
Does anyone wear black boots these days ?, I couldn't spot a Freo player in black last week.
The longer the week goes on, the more I reckon Suban might get a reprieve.
Still think Kep on Buddy would be a master stroke !!!!. Buddy would be so mesmorised by Kep's moves, that he would become a theatre watcher.

Was reading last year's finals threads and the deflation from losing Ibbo and C Pearce was immense. Apparently Ibbo has the best vertical leap in the comp and Pearce disposal was elite. While undoubtably we will miss Macca and Jonno it's nice to know the situation isn't a complete unknown to us. Backline restructures have happened without sinking us

it's been said more than a few times but ins: Fyfe, Silvagni. Out: MJ, Crozier.
Suban is a good wet weather player imo (and fuzzy memory).

I reckon Morrabito would be a pretty handy inclusion for rotating out of the backline especially if it's wet. He's a big body,athletic and goes hard at the ball, and would be a good rebounder with his thumping hoof. I think Tanner Smith and A Pearce no way. They would be monstered!
