News Buddy Franklin wants to be traded to Brisbane.

[Aristotle Pickett]

I think he should keep playing as long as he wants, even if it's at Brisbane.
A Daniher/Franklin forward line would be hard to match up on.

AFL trade news: Shock rival emerges as front-runner for Sydney forward Lance Franklin

Where he will run in to the new Gabba , on his natural arc , and roost the lit sherrin footy through the centre ring of the five Olympic Rings

This title is a stretch.

 

[BigPond101]

It would be good for both teams Sydney have been better without him for years now amd Brisbane get a replacement for Daniher

 

[Schauermann]

12 years, 14 million.

Everybody will say it will bite Brisbane in the back and all will be proven wrong in 12 years...

Whole heap of bull$hit. Will stay a Swan till retirement

We said the same at hawthorn.
It's not up to him. It's up to yoko

You must have been in the minority. Most Hawk fans knew he was gone in 2013.

Happy wife, happy life.

Blaming the wife for his choices is a bit naff. It’s 2022.

 

[iameviljez]

If this actually happens, more fool Brisbane. They already look too tall up forward at times.

 

[Rotayjay]

I think it would be unfortunate for a player of Franklin's calibre to play at three clubs.

 

[Frank Grimes]

I think he'll stay at Sydney. I think Brisbane is just a back up plan after the Swans low balled him earlier.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

If this actually happens, it will only work out if we move Hipwood into defence. Otherwise we'll be crippled by the same lack of speed that destroyed us against Richmond. But it might just be a BS rumour.

wheres the blame factor ? comment implores that Yoko helped decide,author does not mention blame,give ya hand a rest from ya woke stick

You never say no to getting a superstar but it does beg the question whether Brisbane need a another key forward (a 36 year old one at that)

Probably not, but if it causes major changes to make the team quicker overall, maybe.

Surely if they take Buddy it means McStay is goneski

 

[Generalissimo]

If Brisbane felt that this was the one piece of the puzzle missing from a genuine Premiership tilt, why not?

 

[iameviljez]

Surely if they take Buddy it means McStay is goneski

absolutely, but Daniher and Hipwood are already enough IMO.

And most likely will then have relations with the entire Uzbekistan gymnastic team on various podiums... going for gold, silver, bronze....

 

[Osho]

Brissy can't be so foolish .... surely? Bud may just need a negotiating angle to optimise his annual return.
