i dont know if we need him/or want him, my mind hasn't yet been made up on him. There seems to be alot of extra weight associated with him (ie party boys image) COuld turn out to be another Taz. And there is always the factor of him wanting to go home.

I would only think that if we do get him we would stick him in a foward pocket/or even try to make him into a backman



what do u guys think about him??

Don't bother, he'll re-sign with us.
 
Two points.
One He'll re-sign with the Hawks
And Two We have had enough unsavoury characters (with talent) at the club over the last few years (Angwin, Norman etc)
We don't need any more baggage like that corrupting the other young players on the list.

Big fish like Franklin are getting harder to come by these days. Adelaide got Scott Thompson a few years ago, and we got Stevens, but it's not like the old days when players would dispute their way into fatter contracts at other clubs on a regular basis.

Essendon will have money to throw around (sheesh, even we will), but it's more likely they'll snare a "come-home" type like Stevens. Let's hope there's more than one, or the Bombers take the "Jade Rawlings" option, so that we get a quality pick-up as well.

I'm underwhelmed by our pick-up last year McLaren. He's not terrible, just average, but he'll never be great either - all as expected. Mediocrity is something we already had. I know we need backup for Barney, but some options need to be passed over.
 
why the hell would we go after him? What is the obsession going around that we go for players we DO NOT NEED?????

We shouldnt go after Buddy-will be a good player, but not what we need. Leave our forward line as it is and concentrate on the real weak spots on our list, of which the forward line is not one.

Our forward line has potential but is far from settled. Our 2nd highest goal kicker for the year has 10 and we have kicked 50 points less than anyone else in the comp. Yes Waite, Fischer, Kennedy all look like they have potential but Franklin would walk into our side in a heartbeat.
