Buddy a Swan (Footy talk only, read OP before posting)

[bedford]

That's old news, nothing like this

 

[Swan Dive]

Reading through this thread, it sounds like rivalry has commenced within the Swans, not between us and GWS.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Exaggerated isn't the word, fabricated is.

I know someone who lives next door to buddy and they know exactly what's goin on...

Yea right

Heard that part and felt extremely embarrassed for her.

That is one step away from sifting through someone's bins.

You'll notice a pretty clear correlation between these articles and 'news' pieces and buddy's quiet games.

 

[S120]

Yeh, her claim that she knows what the deal is because she has a neighbour in on it was, as Leather Poisoning said, embarrassing.

That that rubbish counts as having some sort of substance in the world of radio, print or whatever else sums up sports media for the most part.

 

[Pepski]

We have been conditioned, well i havent but the masses have.

 

[robbieando]

But heck we do know from a history standpoint that Rebecca Wilson will be reading all these thread as she loves to Google her own name.

So fire away

 

[Pepski]

Nah lets not drown in that thin veneer of muck that is floating in the corner of the pond.

I have moved the posts to here.

If we whack collingwood this weekend the rumors come to a halt for now. If we get beaten the media pressure and bs stories will only intensify. God I hope for the former.

Just been reading the article comparing Buddy to Fev at Brisbane. What utter rubbish journalism. Zero facts, total speculation. The media frenzy around Buddy is not unexpected. Born out of spite by the Melbourne centric media. As for the O'Keefe spat, so what if tension exists. That happens at every football club. McLeod v Edwards. Sam Mitchell is unliked by most at Hawthorn and he is a premiership Captain! AFL clubs are workplaces and a microcosm of society in general. Personality clashes are inevitable. As long as the players do their job well and the management creates and effective set of rules and behaviours to facilitate that, all will be fine. The key difference between Brisbane (and any other club) and Sydney is culture. I back our culture and leaders.....ie. players, coaches and administrators to not only hold this together but make this a premiership winning formula this year! The first step in this journey begins next week against the Pies.

When reading that article, you could just tell it was crap. Buddy nearly walked away from the game and clarkson had to run to the USA to convince him to play.

Has Buddy got himself drunk at the brownlow and make a tool of himself? No. Has Buddy had any other alcohol related offences, etc? No. Buddy is not even close to Fev in off field antics. The media are now just looking for something new every day for Buddy. They dug out his seizure thing 2 months after it happened and the car accident a month after it happened. They really are looking for anything to bring him and our club down now.

 

[Superstar swan]

The worst part is it all just sounds fabricated.

I like all the nightclub references, saying he's been spotted countless times at nightclubs etc.if you go looking for something you will fin it.

He could go out 4 times in the entire off season and the media will photograph it everytime because they are looking for him. Afl players are out everyweekend, you just don't hear about it because they are not looking for them.

The media can sway anything they like to get their point across

 

[Olian]

If we'd beaten by the Giants by a 100 and Buddy had kicked a bag the media would have been all over the COLA etc.

Swans are an easy target.

Split round 1 had made it a long start to the season and there isn't much news to talk about.

Go on

 

[The King!]

i just got a coke zero, it tasted flat, i suspect buddy pre opened it before it arrived at the shop.

He is out of control, and has ruined cola again

At least John Longmire has kept his sense of humor.

THE RUMOURS are true. Lance Franklin and Ryan O'Keefe did come to blows at Sydney Swans training.

Rather than the fanciful dust-up prior to round one that has been reported in some circles, however, it was a tongue-in-cheek sparring session organised by coach John Longmire on Friday morning.

In a light-hearted response to some of the wild accusations swirling around the club, Franklin and O'Keefe donned the gloves and went head-to-head, much to the amusement of those around them.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Awesome!!

 

[swansfan51]

Ted Richards probably came up with the idea, that guy is a crack-up

 

[SSFC]

Buddy will do an interview on MMM Grill team next week.Really interested to hear what he says about all of this

 

[M F JONES]

Today we reached a new level of stupid and not surprising it was Wilson who got us to this new level.

 

[cinderella man]

The trip to Bali wasn't a good one for him from info I've heard.

I don't mind these guys having a bit of fun but when they have to be "warned by Sydney Swans officials" & the AFL have had something to say to us, then we seriously must consider moving the guy on. Like I said before, Hanners has been rubbish since the Collingwood game last year.
Hell! I'd rather give his money to ROK. At least we know where he stands as a club man.

Correct Ted. The night Haircut 100 came to ANZ Stadium.

Has Buddy had a phallus hanging out of his Duds at lunchtime in Federation Square ? NO !!!!!!!!!!!

Strap on your antiquated pieces of leather and padding from the 40s and I'll show you what alphas like myself and Pebbles can do to betas like you in 4 seconds.
