Why on Earth would he play in the 2s at his age? He'd just take the week off.
He was dominant in a number of games last year.

Not another one.
Imagine a forward line of Amartey-stay at home.
McDonald-staying and leading out. He is a Reiwalt style FF.
Buddy-Clarkson learned to play him not in the goalsquare but elsewhere. Buddy is one of the best field kicks according to Champion Data. I think top 10. Imagine Buddy delivering to Amartey and McDonald and others.
A forward line of Amartey(stay at home). McDonald(stay at home and leading), Heeney also playing FF(because he is one), Haywood(because he marks so well above his height), Papley crumbing, and Cunners as that crumbing defensive forward.
And the best part is that Buddy can be delivering to all of them just outside the 50, because he is one of the best field kicks in the competition. Roaming like Goodsey did. Buddy will attract a tag because he is Buddy and so let someone else off the chain.
Dynamic and unpredictable.
I don't dislike having Buddy because he isn't capable, but because the other three are capable. I truly believe with a season between them, they'll be smarter and more aware of each other. They've had at least 3 years in the system to learn from Lance, now is their chance to grab the bull by the horns.Not another one.

The Party was great, but that ain’t going to stop him being dropped for Buddy as we need a second ruckman and without Reid, that is McLean.

Armartey still working on running out full games, Buddy is a better option by a mile.
Take nothing away from todays efforts,but Bud is the best key forward still

Last year Buddy kicked more goals than anyone else. Not capable is a bit of a stretch.
Buddy 52
Heeney 49
Haywood 34
Papley 32
Warner 20
As I said Heeney is a FF. When you consider our forward line treat him as a FF. He behaves and plays like one. He outmarks taller defenders. He is one of our leading goalscorers.
So we have McDonald. Gun. Heeney. Gun.
Add two more.
I would have Amartey(can leap with the best of them) and Buddy(one of and still one of the all time greats).
You would have Amartey(Ok) and McLean(too slow but serviceable. Not as big a threat as Buddy).

asked an expert
As an AI language model, I do not have access to real-time information on Lance Franklin's current health status or the Sydney Swans' game strategy for their upcoming match against Melbourne. Therefore, I cannot provide a definitive answer to whether or not Franklin should play in the game.
Ultimately, the decision on whether to play Franklin would depend on a variety of factors, including his current physical condition, the team's overall strategy for the game, and the coach's assessment of the risks and benefits of including him in the lineup. It's possible that the coaching staff may have more information on these factors and may make a decision based on that information.
In general, however, it's important to prioritize the health and well-being of the players, and to make decisions that take into account the long-term implications of playing injured or risking further injury.
who is better
Lance Franklin and Joel Amartey are both talented Australian Rules football players, but they have different strengths and styles of play, so it's difficult to make a direct comparison between them.
Lance Franklin, also known as "Buddy," is widely considered one of the greatest forwards of all time. He has a strong and accurate kick, great speed and agility, and an excellent sense of positioning and timing. He has won numerous awards and accolades over his career, including eight All-Australian selections, four Coleman Medals, and two premierships.
Joel Amartey is a young and promising player who plays primarily as a forward or ruckman for the Sydney Swans. He is known for his athleticism, agility, and strong marking ability. He has shown flashes of brilliance in his relatively short career so far, but has yet to achieve the same level of consistent success as Franklin.
In terms of pure skill and talent, Franklin is generally considered the superior player due to his lengthy and successful career, but Amartey has the potential to develop into a top-tier player with more experience and development. Ultimately, the success of a player depends on a variety of factors, including their team's game plan, their teammates' support, and their own dedication and work ethic

What about Buddy vs McLean according to AI?

Bedford will love this ha ha
Hayden McLean is a young player who plays primarily as a key forward or ruckman for the Sydney Swans. He is known for his height, strength, and ability to take strong marks (catches) in contested situations. He is still early in his career and has yet to establish himself as a regular player in the team.

Ultimately, the success of a player depends on a variety of factors, including their team's game plan, their teammates' support, and their own dedication and work ethic. It's also worth noting that comparing players from different eras or positions can be difficult, as they face different challenges and play different roles within the team.

Pretty confident going into the game without Gawn. He killed us in last year's regular season game.
Also, it ain't going to happen, but I think Buddy should have another week off. Buddy just can't play against May and May will be hugging Buddy all night.

Not if Buddy is not playing close to goal. May will be close to goal. If we play Buddy on the arcs, May will be inconsequential.

He played the best game i have ever seen a ruck play but guess what it still wasnt enough for them.
Franklin got into May head last time and effected his game allowed others to hit the scoreboard.

Not sure why this is, but we have a good record against the Demons at the MCG for some reason.
Oliver and Petracca are dangerous, but Gawn out helps our cause.

Absolutely no way the crowd was actually 37k today.
I'm usually a pretty good judge and thought 30-33k (i.e. right on average) was spot on. Maybe a fraction more because the members was packed.
Any thoughts here?

Y'all are overthinking the KPF problem. McDonald kicked 5 so he's safe, Buddy's Buddy so he's a lock to come back, Amartey kicked 4 and can pinch ruck so he's safe, McLean has been quiet for the past fortnight so he's out. The backup ruck problem is minor, if Horse wants Amartey subbed at 3QT he'll just play Ladhams less early on so he has more petrol for later on. This ain't hard, stop pretending Horse is gonna drop someone who was arguably best on or not bring back arguably the best player in AFL history
