View Full Version : Buddy's 9: Fluke of the century
Easily the biggest fluke in afl history, had kicked 2.9 since then and wont kick another bag like that...
franklin - DUD
As was his 3 other bags of 6 over the past 20 matches.

He slipped under most teams guard. I doubt he will ever kick more than 6 a game ever again, and even then that will be a rarity. Hes not overated, but as the old saying goes - a good ordinary footballer just having a good patch

FFS! he is being tripple, and some times quadruple teamed. How can you expect any player to kick a bag under those conditions.
When do you think Richmond will "fluke" a win?

ohhh you poor thing you don't wan't to talk about the past, ok lets talk about the present your club is currently 0 and 8 and Deledio and Tambling are very average footballers, to be more precise weak as p**s. :)
While Hawthorn is 5 and 3 with Franklin having already kicked a couple of bags of goals whilst getting double teamed through out the year and Roughead the top goal scorer in a low scoring match last night.

I am staying out of this because it only can end one of 2 ways, Buddy gets held when we play the Hawks and Tigers fans will be falling over themselves to take a pot shot or Buddy kicks 10 and the Hawks fans will be falling over themselves to take pot shots.
Buddy is a star no doubt and still young so will be inconsistent from week to week but the fact remains you don't kick 9 goals in a game plus a few bags of 6 without having some talent.

watch the matches, he has. You see, if there is four players standing around him, in close proximity - without an opponent of their own, this signifies that they are all manning him up. You see, i actualyl attend AFL football matches, unlike you who clearly doesnt orelse would know this.
As for whoever asked about the 5 behinds, he was under a lot of pressure, and only really one of those behinds should have been a goal.

The only touches that Tambling and Deledio get are in the showers after the match...so either way, Frankllin ends up in front.

If Hawthorn continue to flood 2-3 players behind the ball every week, then oviously the other team will have lose men in the hawks half and would make it hard for Duddy to kick more than 4.

Jealousy, Tambling has done nothing against Essendon.
He's still kicked more goals than both Brown and Reiwoldt at the same age.
Are they duds too?
Surprise surprise!!! This thread was started by a Richmond fan. If they put this much effort into playing footy maybe they could win a game.

Truth is, you can carry on all you like, Tiger trippers with all your shit about Deledio vs Franklin vs Tambling vs Roughead vs your mum's slack jaw yokelled podiatrist.
Hawthorn footy club copped a lot of abuse for undertaking a pretty exhaustive search for a coach to take us forward over a five year period.
Richmond fans were co*k a hoop to secure Wallace before he got the chance to be interviewed for the Hawk top job. Apparently he thought your list was more developed and had more chance of success.
So you got what you wanted, and we got what we wanted.
It's just that at 0-8 and the year stuffed, already trying players that haven't earned ther spots, just to have a look - as opposed to a team that is 5-3, competitive, on the rise, and hard to break into - you all look a bit stupid.
So get over it Tiger fans - we all know you have the best team song, just a pity we never get to hear it.:D

Was going to stay out of this but felt the need to reply to this crap.
Yes it is true we have not heard our song, well at least at the end of the game this year, but the fact remains even after 8 losses this year the Tigers have still heard it, more times at the end of games, than the Hawks over the last 52 games. Truly an indication of whose club has been poor over recent years.
Congrats though on the 5 wins this year good to see Clarko get it right after 2 years of tanking. Hopefully Wallace gets it right after tanking for just one.

OK now I'm in to clean up the crap.
Yes you have had more wins in the last 52 games, but this is 2007. From 2004 both teams have improved in win ratio in 2005 and 2006. This year is still far from over, however if you were a betting person, you'd put your money on Hawthorn at this stage for improving results.
And on the subject of tanking, Clarkson overhauled our list and improved our win percentage the last two years. How is this tanking?
As for Wallace, he realises that his Plan A did not work, so now he will try Plan B and draft for long term success.

Considering we are not yet at the halfway point of Wallace's 5 year contract I still have faith he will turn things around rather quickly when he gets players back. IIRC Wallace took 6 kids in 2004, 4-5 in 2005 and another 5-6 last year how is that not drafting for long term success.
The thing is he has not had to play the kids until now and we are paying the price for it, just like the Hawks did over the last 2 years and are now reaping the rewards for doing so. Hopefully having a hell of a year this year will see us on good stead for 2008. The idea is to now start getting some wins so the kids gain confidence heading into next year.

We aren't looking to the past Realistic - that is the point.
A realistic evaluation was undertaken by the Hawks after ten years of failure and a long term plan put in place.
You have had more than twenty five years of failure (and less singing of the team song over that time than us) so if you think my post is crap - bully for you. I don't see much upside for the Tiges at ths point.
Enjoy Bathurst and the Spring Racing Carnival pal! That is all you have to look forward to.

LOL at original poster. He says 9 goals is a fluke, then states he's kicked 2.9 in the last 2 games.
You do realise thats 11 scoring shots in 2 games, which increases the odds of someone kicking 9 goals in a game.
A fluke would be Tambling kicking 4 goals again, given he's had about 0 scoring shots since then.

Wallace should have done this more often in the last two years. The Tigers would have gotten less wins, but would have been in a better position for the next few years.
Also, the recruiting department needs more manpower. A good comparison would be the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL. They are only now turning their team around and one reason was that they added to their recruitment department. They only had one scout for many years for the college games and that hurt their ability to judge talent.

Too right I was - just because my team is or isn't going all that well doesn't mean I don't enjoy life.
I could also reccommend taking up following the Storm - going along very nicely and train very close to you so there is that tie in.
In any case if you don't like any of those options, cricket isn't far away.
Or 2011 acording to the Wallett.

Like I said in another thread, Franklin's 9-goal game will be his best game of the season, if not his career.
He will certainly be a star player, and I'd love him at the Eagles, but from memory didn't one Paul Medhurst kick 9 goals once? :o
Any fool comparing him to Judd as the best player in the comp after 3 excellent games needs their head examined.
His best game of his career as a 20 year old?
Please :rolleyes:
Just like Judd's 5 goal haul against Brisbane in late 2003 was his best game of his career :rolleyes:
That was different right?
FFS! he is being tripple, and some times quadruple teamed. How can you expect any player to kick a bag under those conditions.
you think no other key forward gets that, welcome to the big league son

I truly hope it isn't Franklin's best game of his career - just pointing out that it is extremenly difficult to do something like that so it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't reached those heights again.
And yes - Judd's 5-goal game was different...you realise that as Judd is a midfielder and Franklin is a forward, so what makes their "best games" is vastly different? Judd's 5 goals were a great bonus and showed his versatility, but nobody thinks that is his best game...it makes about as much sense as someone claiming that Mcleod's 7-goal game was his best, conveniently ignoring a Grand Final or 2 :rolleyes:

No he hasn't, he may have been he might have been in a contest where their is him vs 3-4 opposition defenders, but they haven't all lined up on him have they, they have just peeled off their man to help out their team, or their man has peeled off. This happens to most Key forwards;)

Yet we've never had the number 1 draft pick (aside from trading for it). How do you earn first pick in the draft again????
