Agreed, he got away with murder compared to others that have been given 3-4 times at least.

Wtf? He played in front of McPhee and Fletcher all day. Watch the replay, maybe there was one dodgy decision that he got away with. Now let's discuss the other 8 goals he kicked......
And you guys shouldn't be complaining about umpires in Hawthorn games. Does the Soloman "goal" and the Goldspink disgrace in the 2001 PF ring any bells?
Boyle and Roughead for starters.
I reckon Henneman and Bolton could do the job on those two.

Franklin could do whatever he wanted to and essendon down two players by the starting siren

Which means he probably will get the job.
The logical thing to do would be to fill the space in front, stop Buddy and we have a big chance.
Unless of course we're out-numbered 4-2 all day on the wings again while we stand and watch in the centre.

NLM for mine, has the speed to cover Buddy and also the physicality
to match him as well.
Saw his arms one day at a Bendigo game and by jesus are they big.

Just get Bolts and Kep to kick the shit out of him in the first quarter, they both get reported and get 10 weeks, no matter as they'll both be gone next year and we don't have to worry about Franklin for 3 hours.
I should be the next coach.

The problem with that plan is that we would still have Bolton and Bradley in for the rest of the game

Not sure if NLM can cover him in the air. Just something I've noticed over the years, while he has great hands, he struggles to read the flight of the ball, especially when he is running back with an opponent.
I hope Paddy does not get Buddy because if he did then Buddy would be on track to break the 18 goals in a match record. Paddy has been shocking the last few weeks and Buddy would absolutely kill him

Would like to see bolton get him as he has done the job on goodes who is as athletic as franklin playing deep may worry him though. Franklin doesn't take many contested grabs but takes more on the lead and this is why kris massie did so well against him. Fletcher to Roughead, Mal to boyle, NLM to franklin maybe. Johnson on dixon, i think essendon matches up well against hawthorn as long as they play a quick athletic type and not fletcher or michael. Peverill and hodge, watson on mitchell. I think the midfield will be even but essendon are too strong in the forwards with smith, jacobs, gilham to take the power forwards. Play lucas at chf and push up, lloyd deep with lovett welsh and laycock for support. Look for bombers top 4 at the end of the year

I'm just not so sure double-teaming him is the way to go. Could McPhee go with him?

Yep, he's very overrated. He's 20 and would be leading the Coleman Medal if it wasn't for the 2 games he's missed.
And the only reason that he was lucky last time is that your three gun defenders (McPhee, Fletcher and Michael) weren't carrying firearms as that was the only way he was going to be stopped. Keep telling yourself that he is overrated and this guy will keep kicking your brains in. Speaking of overrated, didn't Sheedy say that Ryder would be better than Polly Farmer?
Crypt, I think it is you hawthorn blokes who are going to be on the recieving end of Buddy kicking brains in.
By the time he blows half a dozen games a season kicking 2.5, 0.4, 1.3, 3.6, youll be about as sick of him as pie fans are of Cloke

Franklin is a good player but is very one trick and easy to defend at the moment.
He will get worked out sooner or later.
Can't take contested marks. Always swings onto the left boot so it's easy to corral and defend.
Peels off the contest to get cheap possies.
Seems to go missing at times.
Need to play a 6'1 defender on him with a bit of toe and you should be able to limit his impact.
