I'm another neutral who's fully jumped on board the bandwagon and I'm feeling really sad and sorry for you tonight. I've been super impressed by your club and its culture the more I've followed you over the past few years and Nick Haynes would just about be my favourite player in the...

Hi, I hope you don't mind me posting here, but as an opposition supporter I'd just like to say that you have a lovely group of players! We live in the Tweed Shire and popped down to Byron on Sunday for the open training session. The players were all in good spirits and very friendly and...

Hope you don't mind me intruding, but he was elevated to the Hawthorn leadership in 2012 <http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/franklin-to-join-hawk-leaders-20120128-1qnbu.html>.

Also didn't his brother not quite make it at Carlton after being on their list for a while? He's also got additional responsibilities to other young players - a partner and two little kids to support.

He played when Goodes was absent, even though clearly not fully fit, to show his support. The most plausible explanation I have heard for his absence from the finals is that he was/is unwell. In this context his decision to not attend the B&F makes sense and is not evidence that he's a jerk...

Hopefully it won't get to this, and he's out there playing again soon.

New Idea meets Big Footy!

Very interesting post, but I don't know that we're being lied to here. Personally, I can imagine how things could have come to a head for Buddy after he played the game against the Suns where he struggled, physically, in the aftermath of an epileptic fit and in the context of back/rib injuries...

He's good friends with Ruby Rose and she went over to the States a year or so ago for mental health treatment. Just physically getting away from Australia could be good for him (and others who are in the public eye). I really hope he gets better - very sad.

I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but just wanted to say that hopefully with the definitive `no' given by Longmire, the media will move on a bit this week to the next `big story' and will stop camping outside Buddy's house etc. (deplorable). The will-he-play-or-won't-he conjecture that would...

Great for us and agree that there wasn't the deception of the Buddy defection, however my husband and kids are Melbourne supporters and are pretty peeved that they're losing Frawley and Clark.

For every person who cites Goodes' style of play as the basis for booing, there's another who mentions his 'pontificating' on issues (particularly racism), as the Australian of the Year. There seems to be genuine dislike for him as a Footballer, which is fine, but with some supporters it appears...

It's ironic that in multicultural round, where the message is 'one game, many cultures' that tonight's episode highlighted how much the old homogenous approach still prevails.

Not sure why, but gee I hate North. Normally I have a soft-spot for the smaller clubs, but they just annoy me....

I get your point but in this instance I really don't think umpiring was a factor at all - Port could point to Hodgey's hold on Wingard in 1 st quarter, in the goal square, that wasn't paid. Am looking forward to taking them on in the finals with a number of our best-22 back from injury.

Glad to see you're coming around, ST! :)

Bad breakup but residual love...;)

That was in 2012- the media circus back then was,ironically, supposed to be a key factor in him looking to leave Melbourne ....

Sorry, not sure how it came up:oops:.

He lost his license in 2012 so would have it back now. I also read that he wasn't even in the car at the time, so it just seems like a cheap headline.

I'm a bit like this, but in reverse.... I'm slowly getting my head around the fact that he's gone (seeing photos of him training in red and white etc) but am still destined for a shock when he actually plays for you guys....

I'm the Queen of the recycled gift bag ;) . Merry Christmas to you all!

Ha I had the same thought....picture our Shem next to all those skinny recruits who slave away trying to put on a few kgs :)

Gee I hope he makes it! I love him already :)

I love the interview with him on the club website: when asked about his favourite food he says that he's more into quantity rather than quality. :)

Thanks guys, on the mend :). Good to hear that Jedi is putting back on some weight - am really looking forward to his second season with us. Hopefully this is just a set-back.

Hospital does that to you!! I just spent a week in hospital and lost 4 kg. If he were on a drip and induced coma as reported, you'd expect him to have lost a fair bit of weight (muscle as no fat on him).

I agree, it was the way it all panned out that has been the most disappointing - the lies and deliberate misleading of both supporters and club. Despite this ( and I don't quite know why) I still don't feel comfortable calling him a dog and wishing him a horrible life and career in Sydney. I am...

It's interesting as he seems to be interacting with his ex-teammates a lot still on social media. He asked Luke Lowden how SA was the other day and Luke said that he was missed. Jedi asked him to call him a couple of weeks back while Burger's wife came to his defence after a number of negative...

I don't think the DT is interested in this angle - he did an appearance for under-privileged kids at Xmas and didn't make the news because it's not salacious. The Melb media is beginning to look very benign!
