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

[Pessimistic]

Must be in rebuilding mode

 

[Thaihawk]

Enjoy

That is a classic!

 

[Southern Urchins]

I think the AFL Swans need a Cost of Buddy allowance.

 

[MightyHawks]

Poor Buddy

Sorry wrong choice of word

 

[Gold Member]

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!

Good parents still do.

Phone rings at the Pickering Mansion

Pickering: "chill another bottle of Dom will you, Jeeves....Hello, Pickers speaking"

Franklin: "Pickers, It's Buddy here"

Pickering: "Who?"

Franklin: "Buddy....Buddy Franklin...from Sydney"

Pickering: "Buddy....Franklin..Bud...Oh! Buddy! How are you mate?"

Franklin: "Any chance you can ring Clarko and tell him that I want to come home?"

Pickering: "Ummmm....." <click>

Franklin: "Hello?...Hello?"

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

A club that knows they have the AFL's backing who will bail them out no matter what

Oh dear...this could get ugly for the big fella...what a shame...to see it come to this for him... 1.1 against the Giants...and here was some Swans twat player I think Ted Richards in an article this week saying they would be happy if Buddy ONLY kicked 4.... Swans can go where the sun don;t shine for all I care...

I assured my Swans supporting mate that he had nothing to worry about, as Buddy started 2013 like this.
Then I told him that Buddy played like this all year, and finished the same way.

I'm sure I saw tears in my mate's eyes ...

I have three words to describe that Franklin performance

A poxy effort, but they did It without the Jack..
Bring the Jack back to Sydney I say.

 

[wallyt99]

Could not help but notice him at the end of the game looking around at a team of first round draft picks and future superstars thinking - 'shit... Perhaps I chose the wrong team....'


..... If he wasn't so FIGJAM he might have also thought... 'Shit.... I might have to actually work hard to be the best.'

 

[Miss_Hawk_Fan]

His so far up his own arse... His preseason was selfish - ALL ABOUT HIM! An his game tonight reflected that form. The swans were also very complacent tonight... Well deserved win GWS!

 

[wallyt99]

Agent Franklin, well done.

...... Croad mk 2?

 

[Hawkers]

Can this thread be locked? It's poor form

Seriously, is there another thread on this board this broken-hearted/jilted lover.

Buddy is no longer a Hawthorn player and should no longer be provided with a thread devoted to bemoaning angst and schadenfreude

 

[Arc1]

I think all that happened here is Buddy grew a Melbourne beard not a Sydney one - he'll be right as rain after a trip to the salon.

Can they replace two bad thumbs. Hehe..They replace all our other parts...

All other parts? Who do I contact and do I need a referral?

 

[LuvMyHawks]

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

Do you honestly think he will care whether they make the GF or not.?.His pockets will still be full, regardless of where they end up. He will never feel at home there,he will never have mates there like he had at the Hawks.There is animosity there,no doubt about it.You can feel it in the air.

But he went there to win premierships.

Not sure if serious?......This bloke sold his club out, not less than a month later, to a mob for whom he was the principal cause of us losing a Premiership to!.....Once again......Are you serious?

 

[LuvMyHawks]

Of course he did, ( say I smirking). He could have stayed at the Hawks to win another premiership. But life is much more fun in Sydney,so he says..

 

[Bosk]

In the mood for some comedy guys? Go have a read of the $wans board right now. Some of their posters are already writing off their entire year on the back of that performance.

This is just the beginning of angst, schadenfreude and laughter toward Franklin and the Swans if the script continues along this plot line. The season couldn't have started any better, we thinks.
