I nominate you to do it!

So, be ready next week will it?

Nice blanket excuse... I mean reason...

(I don't think we have a chance at the flag, so I'm hoping for buddy to get some individual glory).

C'mon. That is crazy talk usually only engaged in by #lolNorf fans. Buddy plays up the ground and averages more goals per game than the other two. More importantly we are still in the Finals and have a shot.

Did you see Jack's heatmap from the game on Friday night? Loved it!

We'd be willing to grant you a 7-day pass to complete this assignment. As Kirkswan said you can hand in your research report next week.

 

[The King!]

Fox asking if buddy is better than Carey

Triggered the haters

 

[Kapanis]

It's a privledge to watch this bloke running around for the swans, one I'll never forget.

 

[MC Bad Genius]

It's a privledge to watch this bloke running around for the swans, one I'll never forget.

He'll certainly be the type of player that people in 50 years will ask "What was it like to watch him play?" Moreso than anyone else that has played for the Swans in my memory as a support (since the mid-90s).

 

[Kapanis]

He'll certainly be the type of player that people in 50 years will ask "What was it like to watch him play?" Moreso than anyone else that has played for the Swans in my memory as a support (since the mid-90s).

He does things that no one else is capable of. We've been very lucky to have had guys like Kelly, Plugger and Goodes play for us, even Capper but Buddy is Buddy. I've been a swans supporter since the re location as a 10 year old (Sydney born and raised) and not old enough to have seen Skilton, Bedford etc play so can't compare.

 

[sataris]

The greatest CHF of all time isn't in the top 20 goal scorers.

 

[sataris]

Going to back him in massively against the hawks.

He'll kick 15

The one time I've managed to see buddy live he kicked 0 goals against the hawks

 

[The King!]

The greatest CHF of all time isn't in the top 20 goal scorers.

He was also not playing at the age buddy is now after being caught with the vice captains missus

 

[caesar88]

Buddy is one of the best clutch athletes I've seen. His name belongs with the LeBron's and Serena's of the world. If the AFL wants to market our game internationally they should just show Buddy highlights reels. Reckon that'd be more engaging for the Chinese than a Port and Gold Coast match.

 

[The King!]

I’d put buddy ahead of Carey , I rate Carey, but think over time he is remembered as better and better than he was

 

[Angry Red Bull]

Different skill sets really. Carey was one on one strength and marking. Buddy is a freak with the ball in hand and when it hits the ground. I would rate Buddy higher

Yeah I forgot, Carey was good in toilet cubicles too.

Wasn't it the laundry?

Thought it was a tool shed

Does Buddy have ositus pubis?

Does Buddy have ositus pubis?

Is that what was said on talking footy??

[Punts]

Would explain his lack of penetration of late

I thought it was Stevo’s missus!

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Does Buddy have ositus pubis?

No, he misplaced it with Brody Mihocek’s kit!

No, I just for some reason maybe thought thats whats dogged him a bit. Add in the groin injury/soreness he had saturday and the lack of training.

 

[The King!]

Get her on top will fix it

 

[Punts]

At least he will show up
