Buddy's regret

[threesixpio]

Not fair - Ablett came to Geelong to join the Holy Trinity.

Not his fault at all.

No one has a choice BUT to leave Gold Coast but WHERE you choose to go is another issue.

Lynch has made an obvious choice, like Buddy - last year’s premier. I get it.

But it doesn’t always work out...

Who wouldn’t smile from a Hodge smooch. We all would. Admit it

I’m smiling just thinking about it

You seem to be responding to yourself now.

I wouldn’t know how to respond. I can be pretty hard to handle

I'd smile, but only out of politeness.

Shouldn't be too hard. You're clearly beside yourself.

Liar

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Liar

Now I’m smiling at you out of politeness.

 

[threesixpio]

Hodgey doesn’t kiss polite types anyway. Your loss

He was 27 when moved from the wing/half forward to FF. Aging???

Ablett was in his thirties when he was moved to FF.

It's funny how often money and his missus come up in these threads. He's going to have big money and a hot missus wherever he goes, but he's not going to be a 4-time premiership player wherever he goes....

Once he's wasted the money the missus (who isn't hot FYI) will ditch him for the next money spinner

This comment feels like several levels of sexist.

The thing with Ablett is that he wasn't a full-forward at his best. Being put full-forward was his later career. Very similar to Leigh Matthews being played as a full-forward in his later career. Before 1993 and during Ablett's peak, he was positioned more on the wing or as a forward flanker. The other thing to note is that guys like Paul Salmon (200cm+) were kicking smaller bags than Ablett running along the wing... let alone when Ablett was put at full-forward and kicking ton after ton after ton (again, these tons were made during his twilight years - he was older than Buddy Franklin is now when he did this three times in a row). For example, in 1993 when Salmon was on one end, and Ablett was on the other, Salmon kicked ten goals... Ablett kicked 14. He was a freak.

Averaged 7.3 goals a game that year ... finished 9th in the Chas despite missing games ... masterclass

Oh finally. And who’s to say he wouldn’t have snagged a flag at GWS or a team in his home state too.

He has to have regrets

 

[Tandy]

It would be tough some days for sure. Miss out on 2 flags meanwhile losing 2 flags at your new club. He probably wouldn't be with his wife had he not moved so I'm sure he regrets nothing.

Does Gaz coming back prove to hat he had regrets?

If he stayed in Geelong they would have won 2011-12-13-14 and maybe 15

He should have many regrets

Maybe 16 and 17 ...?

....18 unlikely...

and yet he comes back

Did Budd get another "groin" strike ?

So you are making fun of him having an injury?

RSI is no laughing matter.

He has to have regrets

So you keep saying.

And like I have said several times, everyone has regrets.

Show me someone who has no regrets and I’ll show you an automaton.

Life is a balance sheet. For you and for me, and for Lance Franklin.

Why the obsession with constantly seeing yourself in print saying “he MUST have regrets“?

Bottom line is none of us have the remotest clue what’s going on inside someone else’s head.

Tempted to think there might even be a teensy bit of insecurity informing this online behaviour of yours.

Ever since Buddy left I don’t feel so good

This will end up being one of the worst deals in the history of sport.
