The Big Buddy move??

[Milanista28]

No doubt a failure so far, Needs to win them a flag for it to be a success and that may not happen, Losing players will start to happen as well starting with Tom Mitchell, This bold move may really blow up in their faces sooner rather than later.

Has another 6 years left on contract

In what way is it "no doubt" a failure? Made a grand final with him and came up against arguably the greatest team of all time.

Been a superstar every year and without him they wouldn't of been top of the ladder. Ridiculous comment. Teams go 50 years without a flag but taking a big risk on one of the best players in the modern era is a failure if they don't get a flag? Righto

 

[wcegls]

Trade him. Save Sydney some money. Useless

 

[Kummerspeck]

**** me, bigfooty has seriously high standards for a group of people who dedicate a large portion of their day writing poorly thought out posts on a message board.

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Nah, he's a drawcard for them. It's a marketing win much like Plugger 20 years ago.

 

[Beachsleeper]

One bad final and people forget everything he's done for us, including winning numerous H&A games off his own boot, which you sorta need to make finals in the first place.

List advice from a Dons supporter? Seriously.

Swans always have a big marquee name with a huge profile. Buddy has filled that role nicely since the decline and retirement of Goodes.

It was a very good move.

buddy is fine, its tippet that is the waste of money imo

Gone as well as the Ablett move to the Gold Coast

This bloke is so right. Crappiest move in history. Buddy is a massive spud and delist material. Swans wasted so much cash on him and they're stuck with him for 6 more years. Look past all his goals, impact on the team, skill under pressure, match winning games and his unreliable stats for a key forward, he is the worst player to pull on the boots. Sydney is heading in the wrong direction because of this move.

That move is much worse. Buddy is at least relevant.

Buddy turning up has taken the heat off Tiprat for being a total waste of money

 

[Seeds]

What the hell was with those non holding the ball decisions against him. How can anyone watch that and think the umpires are not corrupt?

 

[bradrowe#32]

Buddy was superb today.

 

[damochandler]

If they don't have buddy not sure how'd they go. He has been pretty good for them

 

[Entei]

Actually watching the football should be a prerequisite for posting on here.

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Too easy to create a thread on Bigfooty.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Is their best player. Like saying if geelong dont win a premiership the dangerfield trade is a failure or drafting jobe watsons a failure because essendon havent won a premiership

Get a grip on reality

 

[Billyc]

Buddy is a superstar, the Swans will never regret picking him up.

The bigger question is will Buddy regret his decision? He had three choices - Hawthorn, Sydney and GWS. He's already missed 2 flags at Hawthorn and on today's showing, you'd be brave to think the Swans will win more during the remainder of his career than GWS.

 

[The Gong]

We're not out of it yet. Flag or not the Buddy trade has been a spectacular success.

 

[iBeng]

People probably said the same when Brisbane took Lynch for 10 years.

Worked out well.

 

[Billyc]

Tippett, on the other hand, had 2 kicks today.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

If they can't win a flag it's a failure as they have blown COLA because of him.

 

[Decimation]

Is OP serious?
