not a bad ass :eek: :p

[bender22]

That. Is. Hilarious!

[Neville Bartos]

Hahahahaha, we play football not soccer!

Fat ladies got OWNED!

Expect an article in The Age tomorrow from Caro.

"Bateman insults horizontally challenged women"

[hawker11]

This is BAD PR for the Hawthorn Football Club.

They are going to have to 'appear' to be doing something about our player behaviour...or else sponsors and some supporters are going to get upset.

Personally I don't think there is much in it - but the club has to play the game right here.

[hawks_time]

Poor guys. I think it's ____in' hilarious but the public and media will blast them. Imagine if there was this much media coverage in the 70s and 80s.

[CouchPotato]

For identification purposes a line up maybe required :)

[Roberiquez]

Young blokes are young blokes and need to have a bit of fun. Its part of growing up. Before any of these journos write anything up they need to go back 25-30 years and think back if they have ever done anything larrikinish.

I betcha most people in there lives have at one stage flashed their willies, boobs or offered the pressed ham. As I said its part of growing up - lets not force our footballers to be robots - noone wants that to happen

[hawks forever]

what is the media trying to achieve with all this crap? Really they bag his kicking for weeks on end, his kicking has now become more accurate over the last couple of games. They then attack his persanal life whether even half of it be true its not front page info nor sports info. Might have to get the kid that did the leave britney alone vid to do one for buddy:rolleyes:

[Neville Bartos]

We need to hire Paris Hilton's PR person to put a positive spin on every piece of bad press coming our way. The media is trying to break us, and I don't like it...

[suedehead]

For the benefit of those of us whose computers don't seem to want to show this 3AW thing, could someone please describe it?

God, Neil Mitchell is the most sanctimonious prick alive, closely followed by Derryn Hinch. Everyone on 3AW is in serious need of a humour transplant.

[jak]

we play footy not soccer :):D:).

[badius]

O...M....G!!!

Firstly, you can't even be sure it's them, 'cos the footage is poor and due to the darkness (yes, it's at night), you can't even see any faces. I haven't seen Buddy's arse before, so can't vouch that it's him.

Secondly, if any of you scolled down and clicked on the radio interview the video guy had with Neil Mitchell, he also describes Buddy and Chance urinating on the street. Considering this isn't caught on tape and that we can't be sure it is even them, I am disgusted that this sort of rubbish even goes to air.

Mitchell decides to have a vendeatta against anyone that can give him ratings, so he ran with it. The fact that the "evidence" is 2 years old and that it proves nothing doesn't seem to deter him.

I think Mitchell should be more worried about his own credibility instead of Buddy Franklin's.

hahahahahaha!! :thumbsu:

[Gilbert_Hodge]

HAHAHAHAHA that's hilarious!!!!!! BAHA :D

[macdaddio]

i watched it and i want some one to tell me how the hell can you see buddy and batemen in that video and were they did their piss and pulled their pants down...

looks like trash to me...........

[muldercs]

HAHAHA. what a load of crap..
could be any kids farting around on any Saturday night any town Australia.

[JiMaRaS]

Can definately spot Changas dreads and i have no doubt that its Buddy either. My point is who the hell cares. That was hilarious and its just a bunch of guys having a bit of fun. I have no doubt those women had a few words with them before the video even started. Can the media just f___ off and find some real news.

[jeffo]

Think it is clearly them.
Hilarious though, no different than what any other 18-24 year old blokes would be doing after a few bevvies on a sat night, if some group was egging them on. Watch out boys, this is only the beggining of the media witch hunt that is about to engulf our team, we are the new WC.....

[philhawk]

Wait, I just realised. This was two years ago.

What's the big deal?

[Scream]

Yep, totally agree, It looks like it is them. But I really dont see the big point in that footage... this is the brightest youngster the afl has seen in a very long time, and the media are dragging his name through the mud for ridiculous things that people my (his) age do on the odd occasion. Give me a break.. Its a part of maturing and growing up. He just turned 21 FFS! Edit: 19 at the time!!!

I should be locked up for the amount of time I have flashed my ass...:o

[Hodgepodge]

Buddy is denying the nightclub incident, yet Mitchell was talking about it this morning as if he admitted he did it . . . i never listen to that fool.

[Hodgepodge]

i don't have any audio on at the moment, but from what i can see, he mooned someone . . big deal, we did that at high school in the middle of the afternoon, let alone on a saturday night.

Sorry, how can you tell it's them?

[Scream]

If you have a look, you can see a leaner buddy from a few years back and changa with his dreadlocks.

[Goldhawk]

Looking at the video there is no way that the alleged persons involved could even be identified,picture is of poor quality and it was taken in the dark. End of story

[Quinz]

The media don't care how old or irrelevent anything is.

From a supporter who's had my club dragged through the mud constantly for the last three years (some of it deserved), they won't ease up any time soon, until you sink back down the ladder. Then you'll get crap for being a useless team. Enjoy knowing that being the target of every media hack means that your club is doing something right.

[market]

While the press is being so vigilant (including retrospective efforts...Big amount of work done there!) heres another to throw into the pot....

I think there was a time in the mid-90's (1996?) when Franklin crossed the road without looking both ways first....

FFS, this is verging on the ridiculous....:eek::eek:

[Buddy Vision]

Why don't they keep playing what the guy says at the end "You know mate that's funny but let see what happens when........." + I'm sure something happened before Buddy mooned them also?

Funny when the media want to put sh*t on someone they ignore all the facts and just portray whatever is relevant to push their underlying agenda.

There's nothing in this at all; some people just have a problem with successful people and are just hell bent on bringing them down.

[Brown Blood]

Is it possible for somebody to have negative credibility??

Mitchells desperate grab to blow this issue up has shown how truly pathetic he is - not surprising he is a demons supporter :rolleyes:.

[#6 Mark Williams]

Buddy 'The Mooney' Franklin!!! *Crowd roars mooooonnnn*

[rdhopkins2]

If it's true I'm not condoning it. However, may those who are without sin cast the first stone. Who can honestly say when they were 18/19/younger that they did not do a moon here or there, a nudie run, p in an alleyway or something along those lines....

2yrs ago FFS. Slow news day!

[BigAl3001]

I really hope Ross Stevenson can restore the balance on his program tomorrow. He's a Hawthorn man and surely must redress the imbalance of gutter journalism being proprogated by Neil Mitchell, who must be trying to save his own job.
