Hind 1385
Hawkins 1383 - KPF

I hope Darcy isn't R/F because then he becomes an auto-pick

Currently am a Hawkins owner and brought him as I thought his scoring was better with Cameron in the team taking some attention away from him.
Small sample sizes but Hawkins without Cameron in the side is averaging 82 while he is averaging 97.3 with Cameron in the side.
Buddy seems like the riskier option due to durability but has only dropped below 90 once in his past 6 games.
Swans draw really opens up after this week and with the lure of the chase to 1,000 anything could happen in those last few weeks against North and Gold Coast.
Just some points to ponder but feel as though you should back your gut instinct as you're currently ranked very highly!

Buddy could be a great POD move and his last 4 look extremely tasty with Essendon, Saints, North, GC his final month.
He's played 4 of his last 7 opponents already this year with an average of 108 vs that group.
Essendon (rd 4) - 78 points
GWS (rd 5) - 130 points
Freo (rd 10) - 130 points
Saints (round 12) - 95 points
Throw in the games vs North and GC where he should score the same at a minimum (or at least average that across the two games), then if he goes at 108 against those 6 and scores 70 vs the dogs this week, you'll get a last 7 game average of 102 points.
I also think Froff makes a good point - he will be targeted just about every inside 50 in the last few games to help get him over the line for 1,000 goals.
The only risk I really see is injury as he does have that history, so if you are needing someone to guarantee play 7 games as you have no cover I'd lean towards Hawkins, but if you can afford an injury then Bud could be a bold move to get you higher in the run home!
