Opinion How good the Swans without Buddy?

no doubt and i think we all agree, the man is a freaking legend. You'd pick him 24/7/365. Just glad he is at the Swans now, and can hopefully stay fit for several of his 10 years. Would we drop out of the top 4 without him - maybe, would we be flag favourites without him - prob not, would Freo have run over us last week - quite possibly, would we have lost the Tigers and Port games without him - yes, does he inspire others to get more out of themselves - yes, does he lift a crowd, who in turn life a team - yes. I guess the question was just meant to generate a bit of speculation and is a question that will never really have a definitive answer. His presence and contribution is undeniably massive, and come 27th Sept, granted that we get through, Buddy will certainly give us an edge that no other team has, I'm sure.

It's a hard one. Automatically my mind goes to "We would've lost the Port and Richmond games if he didn't play". But at the same time, we also lost Mumford and others to get Franklin so we would be bolstered in that way. However I think ultimately we would still have lost those two games with Mumford and others, so we would be a 15-7 side.

Had Tippett played a full year though... it may have been a different story.

LAST 8 GAMES

Goals :
Buddy - 29 Tippett , Ried , Goodes - 34

Shots on goal :
Buddy - 46 Tippett , Reid , Goddes - 47

Cont Marks :
Buddy - 21 Tippett , Reid , Goodes - 17

Marks I50 :
Buddy - 32 Tippett , Reid , Goodes - 31

Tackles :
Buddy : 15 Tippett , Reid , Goodes - 24.

We are becoming far to reliant on Buddy imo ( yes Reid floats around and Tippett has been rucking a little ).


Really need to use the other forwards to our advantage more.
