Thank **** JB was commentating and not Dwayne or Hamish

" A legend becomes immortal" then let the crowd do the rest. I know some of yous dont love him but I reckon his Gf commentary and then the buddy 1000 were perfect

Sydney like Carlton the night before kicked exceedingly well for goal. This season is so intriguing.

 

[Topkent]

That is such an amazing thing to see but fu** I got anxious watching Buddy in that crowd.

Haha I ****ing loved it, probably the last throwback ever to when footy was just about fun and not so serious

 

[schmuttt]

Satisfying watching Geelong kick poorly for goal after so many times they couldn’t miss against us.

Holy hell, just saw buddy’s 1000th and the ensuing fan reaction. Never seen anything like that. Absolutely amazing.

Last time it happened was 2008, Buddy Franklin kicking his 100th in a season

I just checked this aswell, 71 seconds of silence after JBs line letting the moment speak for itself. Hamish and Huddo woulda ruined that moment

Don't get me wrong, I loved it too but it was kind of surreal. It's so weird seeing it happen in this day and age.

Spose so, throwback to when the shitty actions of a couple didn't mean it's ruined for everyone.

Maybe I'm high in the moment but that was one of the greatest moments in footy history

Reckon the way it was more commonplace back in the day made it less intense too. Back in the 80s and 90s people ran on the ground as soon as the final siren went.

It was such a novelty this time with so much media build up that more people got into it.

I'd be keen to know what the strategy of the security was cause it looked like they had none.

Yeah think there was 20000 w***ers who wanted to make a tick tock story but at the same time the atmosphere was ****ing intense. Seemed alot more casual the other times, this was like when Aloisi scored that bloody penalty the crowd was going off tap

 

[AmericanAFL]

Have never seen anything like it. Credit to Buddy for handling it like he did.

The Bronx version clearly more hazardous and Reggie wasn’t up for it.

The last one was Lockett and I reckon it didn’t take 30 min to get the game started that time . Won’t see that happen again , fortunately no one got hurt . Wonder who got the ball?

 

[Bluelegs]

Sydney trying to track down whoever took the ball is a bit lame.

Didn't have to search long


Loving all the stories coming out of it. Apparently the massive bloke in the white shirt with the Swans cap who helped Buddy out of the crowd wasn't even official security either. What a legend!

 

[AmericanAFL]

“Let’s get out of here.” Damn straight.

I kind of liked the idea of it being a total mystery who got the ball and everyone and their mum claiming they had the real one. But it couldn't happen these days.

There's no way he could ever sell it. Sydney should give him a face to face meet up with Franklin at training and a corporate package to one of their games this season in exchange.

Yeah noticed a couple of big blokes helping him push through. Great moment, and great how much he embraced it. I thought it was a bit cringe every campaigner there with their phone out trying to get some shitty grainy video, but Buddy took it well.

Agree with TK on Bradshaw's call too. Saw some dickheads on FB saying it was half-assed but I much rather the moment speak for itself. The vision of the crowd is so much more special without some contrived lines read out over the top.

 

[Tulip]

Carlton a bit like us in 2018. Can rip a quarter/half to shreds but fade out and let the opposition back in. Same story as the praccy match we played against them.

People always think this is an insult bc of 2019, but making a prelim would be an amazing effort for Carlton.

It's the Richie Benaud rule, let the action speak for itself.
In fact the great moments in commentary history were all off the cuff, they weren't pre written garbage

Jesaulenko you beautyyy

Leo Barry you star!

Gets it to carey, Magnificent!

Kick it to the boundary line!

I think JB ****ing nailed it.

They've offered him the chance to present Buddy the ball in training.

Will take more than that, and so it should.

Reckon a Grand Final ticket this year + a GF guarantee next time the Swans make it, as well as a signed/framed guernsey on top of the meet and greet should do it.

Finders/keepers should be the rule here. They should actually make an effort to incentivise the guy.

He did say it a bit flatly, but aside from that it was great that he didn't talk over it. Good on him for presumably physically restraining BT and cutting the feed to his mic.

He deserves it just for the screamer he took. Hit the chairs and concrete pretty hard.
