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

[Hawks1994]

He seems to have license to kick it from where ever he chooses, when ever he chooses. Resulting in a lot of 50-60m kicks which I reckon is probably where he feels most comfortable kicking from. When he was here I reckon he was instructed to dish it off to someone in a better position more often.

It's great for your team if he's on and can kick those goals but if he's having an off day then it's possibly going to cost your team the match.

Really good point, especially for someone like Franklin, who is very much a confidence player

Damn. Just wasted half an hour penning some alternate lyrics to the Kinks' "Lola", only to discover another poster had something similar over in the Bay.
Oh well... for what it's worth... imagine Buddy singing.... "Cola"
----------------------------------------

I went to a club down in old $ydney
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-COLA
See-oh-el-aye COLA
They walked up to me and they asked me to dance
I asked, “how you gonna pay” and in a hush-hush voice they said COLA
See-oh-el-aye COLA la-la-la-la COLA

Well I'm not the world's most switched-on guy
But when they showed me the contract I just about cried
Oh my COLA la-la-la-la COLA

Well I might be dumb but I can't understand
Why I get millions and they can still pay a team
Oh my COLA la-la-la-la COLA la-la-la-la COLA

Well we drank champagne and played some nights
Under electric SCG candlelight
Jasinta picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear Lance won't you come live with me
Well I'm not the world's most intelligent guy
But I signed on the line and I sold my soul for some COLA
La-la-la-la COLA la-la-la-la COLA
COLA la-la-la-la COLA la-la-la-la COLA
I said 'sure, OK'
I ran to their door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Then I looked up at Goodes and he at me

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my COLA
La-la-la-la COLA
Hawks will be $wan$ and Crows will be $wan$
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world thanks to COLA
La-la-la-la COLA

Well I left the Hawks just a week before
And I'd never kissed an Aussie of the Year before
But COLA smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear Bud now you're the man!

Well I'm not the world's most bashful man
But I know what I am and it is what it is
I love my COLA
La-la-la-la COLA la-la-la-la COLA
COLA la-la-la-la COLA la-la-la-la COLA

Even though I do not agree with the premise reading that was very funny. Good job.

Franklin's always been a "love 'em & leave 'em" type.


SYDNEY SWANS star Buddy Franklin has split with his high-profile manager Liam Pickering on the eve of his first game against Hawthorn in Melbourne.

The former Hawk came to Sydney on a nine-year deal $10m deal that was negotiated by Pickering.

Not as though Liam didn't make his money off him and I can't see a new contract being negotiated
It warms my heart that he no longer has buddy or Clarko

Franklin has signed with SF Celebrity Management which represents people such as Shane Watson and Franklin’s model girlfriend Jesinta Campbell.

After a slow start Franklin has settled in at the Swans and is in possibly the best form of his life. The experts are talking about the forward as a possible Brownlow Medal and Coleman Medal candidate.

It was weird, got to see it once but then it wouldn't let me access it again - just got lucky I think

 

[Glasgow Hawk]

Do I feel sorry for Pickering?
Not on your f**king life.
The fact Franklin has engaged the services of a Celebrity Agent speaks volumes. No more football contracts to negotiate, so let's make me more money.

Gee he has made it now can't wait to buy the next edition of Womans Day.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Good luck to Buddy, will always be a Hawthorn premiership player but he won't go down as highly with me as a full career Hawk such as Crawf or Dunstall who could have easily left for more money too. Footy is business (and it works both ways) but fans like myself will always value the player higher who displays greater loyalty to the Hawthorn Football Club as to one who starred and then chased the moolah.

 

[Bikefreak]

Pffftt. Losing respect for the Bud more every day.

Apparently one of his reasons for wanting out of Hawthorn/Melbourne was the scrutiny.

So this latest move will help? Yeah right....fos.

Good riddance.

Has turned out to be loyal only to himself and the $.

Shitney and Buddy......have a nice time of it all.

The money and good times will run out eventually.

 

[Procrastinator35]

I never wish ill on any player in football.... But Geez I hope this *er gets his come-up-pence tonite!....It's time Karma took a big chunk out of his & his on-the-nose teams arse!

What, one tosser to another


Let's be honest - he is a pretty boy and between him and jesinta there are some big bucks to be made. Pickering is just some country hack who played football and now manages players who just got hit by the karma bus - unfortunately he continues to pick up $ on buddy's contract.

 

[Davo-27]

Franklin has proven he has no loyalty to a club that recruited him and gave him every chance to succeed, a club that built a team to win premierships that he was a part of, a group of friends that have shown nothing but love and respect towards him, its a shame he did this all for a little more money and some model girl friend who he might not even be with for long.......

theres my little Franklin rant

Exactly

 

[Agent Smith]

Pickering has finally found out that Franklin was actually courting another manager straight after the 2013 Grand Final, despite claims from Buddy and this 'alleged new manager' that he wasn't going anywhere and was most likely going to stay with Pickers. Having found out this treachery after all these months, Pickering has personally described such actions a dog act and a sub-human thing to do. You're right Pickers. When you're right, you're right.
