Mega Thread The Franklin Mint - All Buddy angst, rants, etc to go in here AND NOWHERE ELSE

[Hungry Hawk]

A good lesson from all of this is that clubs should know that Liam Pickering is a about as honourable as a Rat with a piece of cheese.

It's not his job to be honourable, it's his job to get the best deal for his client and boy, didn't he do that. At the end of the day he burnt the hawks, GWS and Sydney - the winners - buddy and pickers laughing all the way to the bank

And thats the only place they will be running.

Pickering has already soured some relationships & lost clarko as a client & I have a feeling buddy will end up regretting his decision.

And best of all the swans have lost cola!

Maybe they saw it was inevitable and scooped up buddy while they could

I would imagine that Hawthorn players that weren't actually friends with him would hate him like we all do... but the ones that were friends with him i.e. Roughy, Lewis, Gibson etc... well they aren't not going to be friends anymore.

I doubt that there is any players at Hawthorn who "hate" Franklin.

P.s "we" don't all hate him either.

Agree. The only thing I hate about the whole scenario is the way he went about the move. Consider this. Your two year old daughter is doing something very dangerous and naughty. You say stop, but she ignores you, so you smack her. (In my day this was OK, now I guess you punish her in another way.) However, my point is, do you hate your daughter? No. But, do you hate what she did? Yes!

Don't worry; Lake, Gibbo and Schoey will punish him

No offence but I do not want to see your defenders smack Buddy on the bottom. It could seem weird

Oh and don't forget Pickering has to make a living and of course whatever was in it for him was secondary wouldn't you think?

That's exactly what I have struggled with in this whole thing.

Not enjoying watching Buddy in the Swans guernsey

 

[LuvMyHawks]

I would love to see the GWS win this game.Stuff Sydney, Buddy or no Buddy. He still can't take a mark, only one tonight, he never marks many, if any..His thumbs are stuffed,you just have to watch him trying with his bad thumbs. I mentioned his problem years ago, and everyone howled me down. At least I have been proved right.

Go Giants!

Not enjoying watching Buddy in the Swans guernsey

I am enjoying watching the Swans get beaten.hallelujah

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Isn't Buddy the answer to the GF for the Swans?.. Loved this game...ripper..hehe

 

[Brown Blood]

Buddy - how you left now

If you were going to leave looks like you chose the wrong club!

Tosser

 

[hardway]

Buddy will be spending his time at the swans more watching the finals than participating. Sad end for a once in a lifetime player, but i wont be crying

 

[Captivating]

Justice has been served.

 

[cryptor]

Pretty sure I read in article not too long ago (think it was the Robbo interview in FOOTY14 mag) where Buddy said the reasoning behind joining Sydney over GWS was because he wanted to live in Sydney and "be part of a team that could win premierships".

Too good. Far too good...

Buyer beware !

No refund !

 

[Southern Urchins]

Enjoy

 

[Thaihawk]

Who, in their right mind would pay ten million for a player already past his prime? Sydney, of course!

Agent Franklin, well done.
