Think a little more laterally re Buddy and bags....Buddy's bags are usually 5-6 goals, if not 8 or 9 against us ^.
The free against him when he punched the ball out of bounds against Franklin made my blood boil, against the spirit of the game and I’d hope that’s the last time a contest like that is ever interpreted in the same way.His first goal against Francis should have been holding the jumper against buddy. But hey he's buddy Franklin and no rules apply to him

Apparently his nickname is Pleur
No idea where they got that from

Buddy usually feasts on Essendon, but he really wasn't all that yesterday. Hooker and Stringer also kicked 3.1 last night – the three of them were the leading goal kickers for the match – not that you'll hear much about them.
Francis deserves some credit.
Slowly building.
Was worried last year he might have stalled but I think he is putting it together.
Wont ever be the gun I thought he would be but willbe a long term member of the backline.
They used to call him plow so maybe it’s a mangling of that. It’s also the French for “to cry/rain”Apparently his nickname is Pleur

It looked like it from where I was sitting. I was hoping it wasn't too serious, but then it looked like he was in tears. I really thought he was putting it all together so far this season.Ankle?
