The gastro could spread to some of our players and if we beat em we could be going through a similar thing on GF week like we did with pendles last year. Hope he gets over it, we can beat em with a fit buddy.

Imagine the whole team with gastro before grand final :eek: :D

The footage of Buddy on Fox Sports News wasn't too encouraging. He had his knee heavilly strapped & he could barely jump. Looked very limber. He'll play no doubt but he will be very underdone.
 
Re: Buddy Frainklin

Just conveniently forgot the prior six or so matches he played against us...?

Irrelevant. They fell over the line in a dead rubber in Rd22 last year, we smacked them by about 70 in Rd4 last year (dont think Buddy played)

Anything prior to that doesn't matter as we were no where near the defensive unit we are now.

I think that he will be ok afterall Buddy did have a broken leg and an ACL but came up fine last week :D

ROFL.
Surely we were separated at birth...:D

But agree. I want Buddy in so there can be no hint of excuse for the Hodgepodges of the world.

I have to agree there and I thought it was an error to keep him on the whole game but Buddy proved me wrong again... the guy is a freak

Playing with injuries long term shortens careers dramatically. Sooner or later it catches up with you and you wind up on the scrapheap sooner than you should have.

I saw the footage a few minutes ago. Nothing untoward about the way he moved and kicked.

Yep Buddy is good to go, great news for all footy fans, the man is a freak & love seeing him play.

Also hope he is in great shape to enjoy mad Monday next week :D
 
Great player Buddy, glad he'll be playing.

Just hope we don't over concentrate on him.

I won't be sad if Reid ( assuming he's all OK) starts on him and tries to run off him a bit, keep Buddy working hard, as his kness can't be 100% and perhaps after the gastro his strength and fitness may not be at 100% either.

Though unlike Pendles last year, he was presumably well and truly intravenously rehydrated, which shortens the recovery time heaps.
