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

[JustKickIt]

Am I the only one who thinks that Fraklin's voice always sounds as though he is about to start crying? Not a criticism but I notice it every time he talks.

Nervousness = wavering voice

Yes, I think it's mainly nervousness. He's not the most articulate guy going round and he really hates doing media.

This is not working, I am starting to feel sorry for him what's happened to my hate?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Geez I am continually amazed what a good job the club and players did to keep Buddwah out of the headlines.

It might come back after we play the $wans

All the cars will be on the footpath, way safer on the street!

Not it Thailand, mate.

 

[Glasgow Hawk]

I wonder if this had of happened while he was still at the Hawks, would they have allowed/made him to front the media?
It always seemed as though it was club talking on his behalf, releasing statements. Not much ever came from Franklin himself.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who has a shitload more money than I have

LOL at the swans coming out and saying Buddy is being bullied and has done nothing wrong.

That's right up there with their no dickheads policy and bloods culture.

Disgusting franchise.

 

[Dewnior]

The media have been at pains to state he recorded a zero reading when breathalized which is just one of the tests Eastern Suburbs police are able to perform at the scene of an accident.

If in fact it was a seizure, I believe the law requires license suspension for 12 months.

I doubt it was just a random seizure. More likely a result of a big New Years bender.

If the AFL weren't so hell bent on protecting their image, Franklin would be receiving the Tuck treatment. He's on 3 strikes at the present time and they are well aware.

Bullied by a few pasty faced desk jockys? I thought this $wan's outfit was meant to be tough? WAP

An arrow from Caro.

"The Hawthorn leaders, both on and off the field, deserve much credit for the manner in which they handled Franklin over his time at the club and how he managed to thrive. Alternatively, there is an appreciation among his old teammates of Franklin's larger than life presence - now gone from Hawthorn's rooms - and his formidable talent.

"Not to mention the fact he played his role with aplomb during the Hawks' premiership season, never allowing his contractual standoff to become a distraction."

[Hodge2NormSmith]

Buddy was entertaining to watch at the Hawks, he has taken it to the next level at the $wans, in fact he's saving his energy during games so he can be entertaining during the week.

How many parked cars can he hit next week?

Thirteen.... THIRTEEN!!!

And what has been mentioned only once
The police failed to do a drug test, mandatory in nsw if BAC is 0 at a car crash

Doesn't test for the rich mans drug of choice but it is unusual that a test wasn't done if it's mandatory like you are saying. Troy buswell mark II

It tests for marijuana, ecstasy, & methamphetamines
Are you saying none of those are his drug of choice?

I thought he had more "Colombian" tastes. Who said that Buddy wasn't cultured?

Colombian coffee - Buddy IS sophisticated!

Or gangsters?

 

[A Diakos]

"Franklin, not close with the majority of Hawthorn's younger players, had begun to distance himself from his longer-term teammates and he chose to party more frequently with a different group and turned to those rugby union friends he later followed to Sydney."
