Buddy gone for 2 weeks!

[Ryder_Hooker]

Its official....

 

[ghostdog]

Oh Yeeeaaahhh!

 

[DonMania#5]

If they win now with no Buddy or Roughead then we are really shit.

 

[essendon2008]

I feel for him but it's a good result for us

 

[Kaan]

Heard Roughhead might play?

 

[ghostdog]

Dowler must be given respect. If we treat him with the same contempt we have Richmond, West Coast, freo etc... we all know what could happen.

 

[footycool]

Ohh yeahh!!!

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I never thought I would post a Pink music video, but the Buddy decision calls for it.

Oh what a shame...

What a waste of appeal money. The AFL were always going to make a statement with this particular case about head high contact, and there could be no better statement than against one of the star players in the competition.

The Dawks will most likely bring back a totally underdone Roughead or Williams now... they will be that desperate... will be a good result for us...

 

[Charliebrow 16]

It's a bonus and an advantage, not a cause for celebration.

 

[rainman06]

Smell you later, Buddy

 

[Millington Magic]

Start counting your stars Dons fans.

Roughy won't play..Williams might. This obviously doesn't make them more dangerous as Franklin is a star, but it could in a way surprise us with some strange match ups .. Hodge forward??
We've just gotta make sure we are still on our game.

Agreed.
"Campo, yeah it's Matt. Listen, find every tape of every Hawks game from the last two years where someone other than Buddy or Roughy is playing forward. Step on it champ. Outty, 5000."

All the best you guys, as good as Buddy is one player doesn't make a team. Our other players will have to share the load (i'm tipping that there will be more goals scored 'on the run' as opposed to marking contests ).

Whomever wins, i hope they kick Carlton or Adelaides arses the following week

 

[Skeeta Olly]

They'll appeal it...?

 

[bushbomber]

always thought cousins would get us into the finals!

Agree on all counts. Thanks for a good sportsmanship post.

 

[Kaan]

Oh and also.... hopefully we play Hawthorn round 1.

And here I was thinking Essendon were a tough lot who appreciated physicality. Disgraceful night for football, your small gain doesn't compare to what we've all collectively lost.

 

[OzBomber]

That's awesome! Even though it's not worth 2 weeks it's all good.

But I reckon they'll appeal it.

We do appreciate a contest. It was not our club behind the suspension. Just think of our relief as a sign to how much of a threat we think Buddy is.

That was the appeal. He was given 1 match with an early plea but risked appealing and lost so now has the 2.

EDIT: sorry realised it can be appealed again.

We never said that he should have been reported. Not up to us mate. We're obviously happy with the decision considering hes the best forward in the comp....

If this doesn't go to the courts, the club will feel our (the members') collective wrath. The fat Greek is ruining our game for his own wanky philosophy about safety and political correctness. The ban must be overturned, the rule must be overturned, Demetriou must be removed - he's only a servant of the clubs.
