But isn't there like 10 match balls these days?
Or are they all marked with the same number?
You and I*. Sorry I'm a bit drunk

With 5000 people out on the ground it would've been pretty easy for someone to pinch a couple out of the bag and then give one to Buddy to claim all his free stuff though.
I'm sure it's probably real - just playing devil's advocate.
Exactly. There is no way the AFL can actually 100% say that it was the 100th ball. Anyone could have checked the markings on the spare balls when everyone ran on, bought one during the week and then marked it themselves. Unlikely, but possible. They can't be 100% sure in a case such as this.
Correct mate. Some people would like to say and run with anything.The bloke who returned the ball was a carlton fan
He got some grand final tickets and a few other things for returning the ball
More likely would be that the guy who had the actual ball went out and bought a Sherrin, put markings on it so as to make it look like the match ball, then returned the doppelganger. Probably has the real ball sitting on his desk

How can people be so stupid????
The AFL has 10 balls (or whatever number they have) for the game.
Every single ball is marked individually.
One ball is kicked into the crowd and is not recovered.
At the end of the game the AFL does the count and notes that balls 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 + 9 are all accounted for but ball number 10 is missing.
The next week a ball is returned and the AFL check the ball to confirm that it is actually ball number 10, the missing ball.
Wow, a miracle. Ball number 10 is returned and now ever single ball is accounted for.
How on earth is it possible that they are not 100% sure it was the 100 ball?

When asked what it is like to have so many fans requesting photos and autographs.
Seriously though, it was a refreshing change to see a young AFL player being so honest open.
Classic response was when he was asked what he will do with the 100 goal football that was returned to him by a passionate Hawks supporter. Buddy said that he will probably sell it, which was a tongue in cheek response after learning that the guy that returned it was offered $5000 for the ball.
Hawks should let this guy do more press stuff because he is good value and says what he thinks.
I was surprised when I first heard Buddy speak at an interview/conference.
He is quite an intelligent, humble sort of player who doesnt mumble or stutter.
The guy is perfect
He doesn't come across as a Robert Harvey type off the field so his comments don't really surprise.
Yeah, there is nothing wrong with saying that. People may take it out of context and say he means fans that go to games etc.

Some of the comments on here are obviously based on pure jealousy of the lad. Makes me wonder just how many of these ignorant posters have seen footage of the press conference. It was on fox sports all last night and this morning and it's obvious that he's referring to the so called 'fans' that are more interested in what he does in his private time rather than what he does on the field as a professional footballer. Franklin is an exemplary trainer and he knows how to bring it on game day. To me that's what matters. So in the context of this thread he is absolutely justified in his statement.
Oh and for those that haven't seen the press conference, yes he came across very well spoken, and whilst he wasn't 100% confident with the cameras and mics in his face he was more than competent.

I disagree, its more than just a game. Its a way of life for most of us.

M2M: I think you'll find that young lance was joking when he suggested selling the ball For 5k I doubt he'd even be bothered looking for a buyer!
Oh and on that other thing. Rumors and innuendo my friend.

Wow. I'm sure in all the commotion that was running onto the ground, that bloke didn't get caught up in it and he hatched this awesome plan when he got that ball...
Who care's if Buddy's arrogant, if anyone here was as good as him, im sure you would be too.

This is ridiculous.
FFS the guy is 21 and is hounded by the media. Yeh, he's arrogant. There are heaps of people out there that are arrogant, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're a shit person.
Don't take things out of context OP. This is a crappy troll.
