The Big Buddy move??

[Rimmer]

GWS put so much pressure on the Swans they crushed them in the first final ... the Bulldogs did the same in the grand final, they were relentless. Buddy no matter how well he played could not have turned the tide, none of his teammates had room to breathe so had no hope of giving him efficient delivery to kick the bag which might have made the difference.

8 weeks back another million dollar a year player was copping it from the media for not delivering and they were suggesting he should cut his own salary, that guy was a critical component in the Bulldogs victory and if he never plays another game will be worth the millions the dogs paid for him.

Buddy has been worth every penny, premierships are never won by one player ...

Was awful today buddy, couldn't get a hand on the ball in marking contests, and while he got plenty of the ball in free play, was constantly caught in possession. You felt the game was too quick for him today.

Probably his best moments came after his HTB gave the dogs the winning goal. No one wants to be on that end of the highlight reel, and you saw how hard he tried to get the goal back, but even buddy couldn't turn back the tide.

just one poor game after a great season.

Who would have thought that out of the Franklin and Boyd moves Boyds would be the one to return dividends?

Took leave last year in the finals and was very disappointing yesterday. Only a flag or maybe more could justify the investment. Massive fail.

I'm pretty sure the Swans would have gotten hammered yesterday without Buddy's influence. The disaster will be good players getting squeezed out by his salary.

To be fair he wouldn't have came on after his ankle injury if it was a Home and Away game. Clearly restricted after that.

Boyd became the first million dollar earner to play in a premiership in that year.

Just a quick Q. When he was tackled by morris and then Boyd kicked a goal from 60, what was buddy looking at ahead of him? Seemed strange that he bulked at kicking forward 60m and tried to run to the side. A real **** up.

Doesnt have a right foot

Buddy was clearly injured and has performed on the big stage before, Hannebery deserves way more crap, hit him once and you've taken him out of the game.
