Wings Clipped - Why Has Buddy Not Taken Off In 2023? - The Mongrel Punt

After the Swans fell to 2-2, there have been rumblings from their supporters about the ongoing role of their 1000-goal superstar, Lance Franklin. We are now at the stage where playing Franklin as the stay-at-home full forward has become as much a hindrance as it is a weapon to the Sydney team...

Stocks up, stocks down: Long live King Charles; Swans choke at home, again!

In Round 7 of the 2023 AFL season, more than a few key forwards kicked career-best bags -- none bigger than King Charles -- but the Swans choked away a lead at home ... again.

It's round 4. He has played 3 games this season. All this retirement talk is a bit premature imo.

It's round 4. He has played 3 games this season. All this retirement talk is a bit premature imo.

"Which is why I felt so sad at the SCG against Port Adelaide last night. I watched Lance trying hard but not having an impact. He couldn’t get near the ball when it came in the air and he had to give away free kicks to stop his opponents sweeping the ball away without hindrance.The best you could say is that he gave a contest and brought the ball to ground a number of times, but that’s a journeyman player’s return, not Lance Franklin, greatest forward in the game.
Seeing him pass off a possible shot at goal on the 50m line then shank a straightforward kick on the three-quarter time siren, it was a hard watch.
Truth be told, it’s not an isolated tough game. Against Melbourne last week it was twice clear that he could no longer kick goals from 50m, and now when the ball hits the ground he seems to have lost that ability to break tackles and set himself for a shot on goal.
He draws the ball still, twice as much as any other Swans forward 50 target, but without the returns. It’s no coincidence that the Swans could have 22 more inside 50s than Port Adelaide and end up losing; it’s not just about bad delivery or kicking high balls to a contest."

Oh!
It's not just me. Phew!

9. Errol Gulden (Sydney)

“Erroll Gulden, his work from a field kicking perspective and what he’s doing on the outside is extremely damaging.

“We talked about this couple of weeks ago, his permanent midfield role has been significant for the Swans.”

The Six Points: Pump the brakes on the 'Cats are back!' narrative

This week's Six Points feature Geelong's return to form (or so everyone says), the Nick Daicos vs. Chad Warner debate and the comical nature of a recently introduced rule.

Andy Maher said they have Horse coming up to talk about Paddy

 

[Punts]

Yer he is fine no stress , that’s what he will say

 

[Callipygian]

Sorry, I find this kind of moral posturing hypocritical when at the same time you’re taking money from Qatar Airways.

I had a similar thought but I was thinking they now are getting paid for not promoting sports betting. Probably less money than they would get for promoting sports betting. And anyway, smart to find a way to still make some money and fill the hypothetical void.

has been in the AFL system 1235 days. He’s played 35 AFL games, been an emergency 16 times, and played 15 times in the VFL, pulling on the boots at 13 different grounds – seven AFL grounds and six suburban grounds.

He’s travelled interstate to play 27 times since making Sydney home after he was drafted with pick #5 in the 2019 National Draft, but there is one screaming blank on his young travel log.

Drafted from SANFL club Norwood, Stephens has never played in South Australia.

But on Friday night, when Sydney play Richmond at Adelaide Oval in the AFL’s Gather Round, the Mildura-born wingman will finally get to pull on the boots in front of his adopted ‘home’ crowd.
