BTW - I reckon Buddy is going to start to fade in a year or two. He is already looking like he is finding it hard to keep the weight down. Once he loses his mobility, he is gone.
I posted a stat a few weeks ago that he's only kicked 6+ goals once in his past 35 games. He kicked 6+ goals nine times in his '08 season. He kicked 6+ goals six times between '05 (his rookie season) and '07. He's done in five times from 2009 onwards.
Also, has anyone noticed the look he gets on his face when he misses a goal? It's so lols that I almost want him to miss it so that I can have a geegle.
I was at the game and it was the single good thing about the night joe kicking that first goal( aside from his other two and the win). Had some old bat sitting near me half commentating half complaining everytime we switched play or spotted up targets.
Did the same thing with the aus kickers at half time.
My favourites are when we set up a really good zone, and they can only chip it around, ala the Richmond game, and you hear some idiot screaming........"just find a man" or "Who was on him?"
