You never know, he might play better that way also - stay permanently on ground, in forward line, like, i don't know, a full forward?

He is someone who plays well when the spotlight is on him, when it either good or bad

Spot on. Burn him out. Run him into the ground like a bogan and a VN Commodore
The one and only Shane Crawford is on The Footy Show tonight with a scheme of how to keep the Bud at the Hawks. Will be interesting!
Thank you buddy for this type of shit we have to put up with all year!!!

Tempted to delete this post. Footy Show has, somehow, survived long past its use-by date.
Is anyone at Glenferrie??
Is that you buddy?
I wish!!!
it as only posted incase any wanted to go lost interest in that show a while ago i like watching the footy legends bit of marks or what ever else from local footy and any good news stories they some times do, will watch it now and then only if certain players are on usually Browndog for Johnno Brown most others are boring those two make it funny to watch
Exactly.
Will be hard to cheer for him in 2013, and will get harder by the week.
Do not see any reason for Buddy putting the club through this, if he wanted to stay. He is looking for more money...
Flukey!

I don't expect for a minute that nobody would cheer for the great man come R1.
Crazy talk.
Soooooooo, I take it he hasn't signed yet.
Maybe next week.

We will watch buddy all year and spend it suspecting that he is having an affair...

He'll kick 18 against the Cats Monday week.
(and we'll still lose by 2 pts...)

Lee Mathews made an interesting observation bout Buddy. Said he wasn't your typical CHF - more like a big forward flanker.

Buddy isn't your typical anything, he's a freak! He'll be the first player to be nominated AA for all positions in the same year before he retires, I promise you.
Are you kidding? Unless AA back line is determined by the number of frees against, Buddy will never get a look at a back line guernsey.
Lethal's spot on. To be a typical CHF, you have to be able to mark consistently overhead. Buddy's strengths lay in his pace, recovery, and ability to kick freak goals, very much like a half forward flanker.
Buddy is fired up for monday going by his tweets he is looking forwards to the game that is a great sign in my books can not wait

And it is why we need to still find a genuine KPF who can regularly take overhead marks. Too much ball goes to Buddy without a mark being taken. Some of his marking efforts are poor to be honest and hurt the side. He obviously makes up for it with his ground play. He did take 2 very good overhead marks in the praccy game against the Kangas which were surprising so he can do it but it isnt a natural instinct.
Not certain Roughie is the man either to be honest. Still seems to jump at it like it is a basketball.

Tim OBrien is a typical CHF
Pity it's his first year at the club

Anyone else watching AFL360 and listening to Kevin Sheedy talk about how good Franklin would be for GWS? They would certainly have the money in the cap to pay him 1.3-1.5 a year....and it wouldn't surprise me for the AFL to chip in an extra 500k to get the deal done to grow the game in Western Sydney. I'm starting to get a little nervous!
That's the last club you need to worry about
