Buddy gone for 2 weeks!

[abers47]

The good thing is that Essendon has slipped under the radar a little this week. I think we would have been under the pump a little after the Freo game without all the hoop la about Buddy.

Hope I dont have to read much more on the Buddy saga. Good luck this weekend, should be a great contest irrespective of who is or who isnt playing. Love Hawks v Bombers, have a healthy dislike for you social outcasts haha

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Aren't you a clever dick?

No need.

Right result. Wrong rule.

 

[tandino]

This all begs the question, would you rather beat us with or without the big Buddy?

I couldn't give a shit to be perfectly honest. It's 22 v 22 on Saturday afternoon, winner takes all.

That's all that matters.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

We're already 9 goals down.

Cheer up, thats only slightly worse than Rd 7. (44 pts)

Strange you only think Buddy and Roughy are worth 1 1/2 goals.

gold.

Interesting odds.

All even at 1.85 now.

At one stage we were 2.40 and Hawks around 1.40, something around that.

Worth a Buddy dollar!

I reckon we would've won whether they had Franklin or not.

Big call. I spose it is our 'win week' though.

Jeff was on SEN this morning and said that Hawthorn would not take any further action.

Glad not only because Buddy is out, but also that they didn't open a can of worms that could lead in a very sorry direction. Football should not be wasting the courts time over trivial matters like this.

I do feel for Buddy and Hawthorn. The rule is ridicilous, but the simple fact of the matter is you can't bump anyone in the head when you can tackle. Too say that Buddy's 6'6 and Cousins 5'10 is garbage. For Hawthorn to appeal and then too threaten a supreme court injunction is just plain and simply silly. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail this morning and they won't proceed with court action, because the game doesn't need it.
