Buddy Franklins Dad

[mark_johnson#1]

Did anyone see buddys dad on channel 10s news?? Its very hard to comprehend what he looks like.. all i can say is you would never ever think the most athletically gifted and best player in the AFL would be the product of him!!..
Is Buddy only half koori? cause i dunno his dad didnt look koori to me.
on the other hand his sister goes alright!

 

[nicko99]

[Cheeseman]

His father is a white fella, who was a state representative hockey player, his mother is Aboriginal.

What did he say that was that wrong?

I have seen Lance Sr in the flesh, he is HUGE. You would not want to meet him in a dark alley.

At first glance, Koori looks like another word, perhaps he assumed he saw something else?

hahahaha. I did a double take when I first read it too.

apologies to OP. looked like something else there for a moment. my error, sorry!

 

[Pessimistic]

I remember not realaising Buddy is black until people started saying "Black Rewoldt"

Anyone would have thought that Buddy's father was God (the actual god, not Ablett Snr.) the way Hawk's fans go on about him.

Has he been on a seefood diet since he retired ?

 

[gilbeegurl]

Possibly the lamest joke ever, but I will pay that.

 

[Rowie09]

Havent seen. Pics?

 

[Renegade]

Looking at his dad it clears up a few thoughts about Hawthorn.
Not hard to see where the name 'Buddy' comes from.

Hawks fans do go on about but we are not alone.

Exactly, when your father has the same name as you it is common to be called 'Buddy'

 

[buddyhawks23]

is there any link or video where you can see a image or video of the interview ? ?

 

[Bourky23]

cross john butler, ned kelly and scott cummings and thats what he looks like...

seemed like a really nice and geniune fella tho

 

[de_LICA_ish18]

His gut was hanging below his tshirt. You would never pick that guy to be his dad.

actually his mother is only part-aboriginal, making buddy mainly a white guy with about 1/4 of indigenous blood.

I've actually spoken to the bloke before having no idea he was Buddy's dad. Needless to say, he stands out at games. A definite character.

 

[BLPC08]

One of the most extraordinary father-son combinations I have ever seen, he looks like a neanderthal, yet somehow he's produced one of the most talented footballers in history. Makes you wonder!

 

[nicko99]

do you think buddy's sister is getting carried away a bit?

already shes trying to book plane tickets for the grand final
