Buddy will ragdoll Marchbank IMO...I'd start Rowe on him but learn from the Tom Lynch fiasco....block the leads and like I said our blokes have to get back and help Rowe...
Agree with needing to block the space but the ragdoll bit I'm not so sure of. Buddy IMO only tries to use his strength in a one on one if he cant find space. When he is on his main game is to run hard and take the ball while moving. In that situation Marchbank is our best option. I would back our kid in and hope Bolts does too.
Lets face it if they control the midfield and get too much ball with time Buddy is going to get on the end of many regardless who stands him.
The learning experience even if he gets a few kicked on him is valuable.
