Port Adelaide 2018

[Booney]

When tackles become the barometer more than goals for a forward the game is rooted!
Does anyone care how many tackles Buddy lays.........nope.

734 in his 282 game career at 2.6 per game.

Cool.
So Buddy kicks more goals and lays more tackles than Dixon.
Interesting................

Not really, Buddy is the best key forward in the game.

Some things we can agree on!

[Lightning McQueen]

Not really, Buddy is the best key forward in the game.

Could he be the GOAT?

Will go very close.
Top 3 with Carey and Ablett Snr for me.

He’s better than Lockett and Dunstall IMO

Yep, I agree, Ablett snr pulled rank for me.

Carey use to play CHF for Parafield Gardens High School open team when he was in year 9, fair freak early.

Apparently so, according to my cousin who was an avid North Adelaide supporter too.

Lockett and Dunstall > Buddy

[amber_fluid]

It is hard to compare Buddy with Locket and Dunstall since they are such different players.
I just think Buddy has more tricks than the other two.

It’s a good argument though as they are all such great players.

Yep, footy has evolved, Dunstall had the luxury of exquisite delivery from arguably the most dominant team of any era, he could obviously hold a grab and kick straight too, probably spent 95% of his career in the forward arc.
Lockett was pure brute strength that allowed him to go one out in the square and kick a bag, his numbers are crazy, imagine if he played at a strong club in the 80's.

Or the 90’s...

80's W-D-L: 29-0-82

Wubbsy doesn't have time for such shenannigans, he is the boss now.

He's all grown up and stuff.

Now that he has a beard and all..............

[Trader]

At the risk of coming to Dixon's defense, you gotta remember his first few years he was playing at the suns in a side getting pumped every week.
Over his last 6 seasons, hes been at 1.8 goals per game. Not brilliant, but not the worst.
