Jon Pierik is an imbecile who's job in the 90's was to put the Swans down , ask Richard Colless what he thinks of this t#rd
If he did kick 1000+ goals then he would have kicked them in an era that was not conducive to full forwards kicking bags.
a few years ago my two nephews (7yo at the time) went to an all schools sports day. 1000 kids, rugby league sent their star, rugby union sent their star, soccer as well. the Swans sent Buddy.
The off field stuff is huge. People think he will fade away after his career. He could get bigger doing the right stuff. I know he is media shy. That is not what I meant. But just him turning up at junior events, at Swans recruitment days with prospective families for instance etc. He is the number one drawcard to entice kids to play for the Swans in the entire comp. IMO.
Even Hawthorn suppoters still LOVE him after he left. What he does and how he does I think is the reason why. No one else does what he does. You have to savour it and enjoy it and celebrate it while it is still there. Because when it is gone, no other player can come close to do what he does. His arcing out and kicking 70m goals from the side line are unique. Lots about Buddy is unique.
Jon Ralph article about the "20 gettable and not-so-gettable players list managers will be targeting this year."
From the Swans he nominates;
Tom McCartin
Feels wrong agreeing with a HUN journo, but yep definitely a priority to re-sign.
Adequate forward, but down back looks a different, far more confident and effective player.
Reads the ball superbly, positions himself well, excellent body use/strength in the contest and strong hands.
Admittedly a small sample size to date, but IMO looks a potential AA defender.
In the nicest way he has the aura of a big kid. Feels as if he is their friend.
Said that 2 years ago. Still believe it.Jon Ralph article about the "20 gettable and not-so-gettable players list managers will be targeting this year."
