News Buddy Bursts Into A New Dimension

[grizzlym]

From today's Age.

"LANCE Franklin kicked two breathtaking goals on Friday night. They were the sorts of goals with the capacity to alter seasons, not just games. They were goals kicked by a forward but were not the goals of a forward."

Judd incident?

How many hands would that gone through before it was committed to print?

Sloppy.

Sloppy.

C'mon TAITA, can't you remember the Judd incident?
I can.

And the following week when Roughead kicked 14 against the Bummers to start our run towards back to back flags!


Rewriting history is fun.

Agree entirely 'TAITA'.

The other week after we made it back into the eight I recall a senior print journo (HS) wrote we were in for the "first time this year".

I remember this article from Jake Niall

Franklin is quick; Roughead is one-paced. Buddy is very left footed; the more conservative Roughead, fittingly, kicks with his right.

Well, technically he does kick with his right, but he's a left footer! ******* journo!

On footy classified last night, everybody was creamining themselves over the buddy goals, with one exception, being the Caroline Wilson, aka "the scrag". Her only input into the conversation was why wasnt buddy doing that last year. At no stage did she compliment or seem excited at the goals, just negativity. It really pissed me off. She simply hates hawthorn and never has a good thing to say about our club. What is her problem?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

What is her problem?

Never played the game, no genuiine appreciation for what makes it great ..... plus, she's a hag who thinks people would rather listen to her crap than watch Buddy kick goals.

She's a disgruntled rug muncher* so who cares what she thinks.

Caroline Wilson thinks that she and the other panelists should be the stars of Footy Classified with people tuning in to marvel at their brilliant discussions so she's not going to talk up a lowly footy player, they only exist to deride when they have failed or done something naughty or had a rumour made up about them by one of the hosts of the programme. That's why Footy Classified exists, it's a chance for the journalists to finally get the spotlight they deserve and Caro rightly did not want to share it with the scum known as Buddy.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

fairly decent article, apart from the fact that the writer must have failed math.

69% of his posessions up forward and 29% elsewhere.... so what about the other 2% ?

 

[real hawk]

As great as Franks goals were ( the best I have ever seen in 20+ years ) I would still prefer him playing out of the square, he was after all a centurian coleman medalist playing there and we did win the flag, if not at least play Roughy there one out and get his confidence back.

I think he disregarded the 2% in the backline

You know she is a Richmond supporter?

What I like about the article is how it stipulates Buddy is spending more time in the midfield than ever.

Even two months ago I mentioned his athleticism and field kicking should be used up the ground.

Sure putting him as permanent full forward he may kick 8-9 goals but how much more useful is he with his run and carry, distribution of the ball and then popping up with 5-6 goals?

I prefer a Buddy who plays more midfield, is unpredictable and is not starved of the ball up forward while his getting scragged and pulled and triple teamed.

After we smashed the Pies last year and almost beat the Cats she was creaming all over us and thought we were back, I hate her but have to give credit where credit is due..

Contact the Producer if you feel done by.

Its yet another footy TV program becoming a farce. Did you read the body language of Grant Thomas (nothing to hide huh!), did you hear Caroline frost and ice over questions and then gurgle shit about Richmond, was Garry Lyon fair-dinkum or needing to promote Nine News? Hutchison - trash!

 

[killerspud]

I remember in 1989 Gary Ablett Snr kicked 80+ goals playing mainly as a half-back flanker/wingman - If any is capable of doing that again it would be Buddy.

All we need is for Roughie to fire up out of the square and we will be set - add Hooper at his feet, Peterson as a foil forward and Rioli drifting down from the midfield and I can see us winning more than we lose

 

[Booo!]

For me the best part of wing / centre Buddy is not having to watch him get repeatedly, royally fd over by umps and defenders at full forward.
Makes the coach look good- has to mess with the opposition quite a bit as the full back player(s) couldn't go with him on the ball.

 

[Brant]

It is great when Buddy drags the defender up the field with him - what I don't want to see is the opposition hittimg him with a 'Muston Type' run with tagger to negate him.

Start him as a forward & let him drag the midfielder out - start him as a wing & he may not be as effective. (maybe - not sure though)

Also, dragging a tall defender up the ground is going to assist Roughy - if Buddy can't drag the defender away & instead gets a midfielder then poor Roughy will get double or triple teamed all night.

 

[BobHawk]

Buddy loves a goal and would be kicking them even if he lined up at full back but does Buddy coasting along the wing, mixing it in the midfield and dashing into half forward open the door for another tall inside 50 marking option such as a Lisle or Dowler?

 

[kirbatron]

I think it does Bobhawk...

I'm hoping Lisle can step up
