My guess would be Baker but yeah could see it easily being one of them too.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
We can always go with my suggestion from last year and play Naughton on the wing.
Williams back
Jamarra CHF
Darcy FF and Lobb forward ruck.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
North don't have a particularly tall forward line so we can make do with Williams as third tall. At this point I'm giving up hope on Busslinger sticking with us and I want Garcia in the team although I would have dropped either Scott or Daniel for him and they're both out anyways.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
That's an insane amount of height in the team. Surely one of them would be the sub.
Great to have Astro back.

We have JOD and Jones as our tall backs.

Bevo has requested Marvel leave the roof off.

Would it make any sense to have Lobb or Darcy as a sub? I?m not a fan of the four headed monster, but I think Baker will be sub.
I wonder if the plan is to limit Astro?s minutes in his first game back.

I think one or Macrae or Sanders. The forward line is too stacked otherwise.
Is Harmes fit?

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 16 VS North Melbourne
With TOG% we are probably going to 'only' have 3 of the talls forwards at a time. Average about 80% TOG, Lobb will spend 20% rucking. That's a lot though ha! But not like there won't be room for smalls to play forward.
I think fans can fixate on height too much. Naughts IMO offers more fwd pressure than perhaps anyone but definitely more than our average small forwards. Lobb can play huge TOG but is clunky I guess. Marra can be more mobile than anyone. A massive factor for mine is one of our 'smalls' being more like a tall in Cody.

I think Buku's plus side as a KPD3 is his ability to help out on team defence using his athleticism when in the right position. Issue is, he often seems to get lost. He has speed but again I think his lack of defensive nous means it's a bit irrelevant. His disposal is pretty good for a taller role if he has time. Can be really exposed 1:1 and even get so lost it's an easy uncontested mark for his opponent.
Truck's positioning I think is better. More of an ability to make it an actual contest. Playing him as as KPD3 is a strengths based approach of going the problem I guess. Kinda giving the 1:1/defensive side away a bit and trying to get more rebound going. One negative is we lose Truck's value elsewhere.
I love Buku and hope he keeps improving but I don't see him providing enough value.
What do you love about Buku exactly? His story?
He's not turning out to be much chop as a footy player unfortunately.

I think Baker will play in the backline, and Williams wing. Sanders to sub

You better not have gone back and read something to support that.
