Buddy's belly

[Enviable Tradition]

Did anyone else notice that Buddy looked like he had a bit of a beer gut yesterday?

I don't know if he was just bloated or of his lifestyle is catching up with him. It would be a real shame if Buddy doesn't get the bet out of his unbelievable potential by not looking after his body.

Having said that Buddy is probably the kind of guy who could carry around a beer gut and still dominate the comp.

Im glad that this is all you could take from last night's loss. He ran all over the field all night (albeit without his usual effectiveness) so it's pretty fair to say there are no problems with his fitness.

That's all that matters isn't it? People get too worried about skin folds and fat %'s etc.

If the guy is still playing well, that's all that matters

Stewy Dew is the perfect example of why low body fat is over rated.

Yeh, I believe he's also got a few love handles. More pushin' for the cushion'.

He's had a good pre-season, at the ground it looked like he was fairly fit.

Word is that Buddy has tested positive twice for Krispy Kreme donut usage. Three strikes and the team nutritionist is going to suspend him.

Dew is clearly a bad influence.

I don't think there is any doubt that in a general sense, Franklin is fit. However I saw the footage of him and it did look odd that he seemed to be carrying a bit, don't know if it was just an illusion or if he was bloated for whatever reason.

In any case, the man is an absolute gun regardless.

just more of him to love

Really hitting the big issues now, aren't we?

Rioli looks a bit heavy as well

Its a muscle gut you muppet, similar to that of Richo.

Seriously, if you are going to start a topic, at least make it interesting.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Buddy has put on a gut. That means he has been eating well. A healthy buddy is a good buddy.

 

[DerpWerls]

This is just like the Grant Hackett gut story

This thread is nothing without pictures.

Yep Buddy's just got that sort of build. His gut has always protruded out a bit.

Funny you mention this, my mate rang me during the game last night saying exactly the same thing !

I didn't agree though, it looks like muscle.

That's fair enough and is probably spot on but, to be honest, can't remember it protruding like that last year.

good post

Yeah it's just his build. It's muscle. Someone mentioned it last year too so it's nothing new.

He's played 100% game time two weeks in a row. I don't think many other players in the comp would have done that (partly a reflection of our personnel at the moment but shows there is nothing wrong with his fitness).

Richo is the same

 

[Pessimistic]

I reckoon his 'chinstrap' beard is to make his underchin look a bit more lean.

Never worried Piggy Dunstall though - I was also thinking Dunstall would have kicked 1800 goals with the rules these days

 

[BLPC08]

Still a fair few pints away from Dean Rioli and David Calthorpe.

 

[stui magpie]

he's only young yet, but we've all seen his dad.

I give him 3 years and he'll be the AFL answer to Grenville Deitrich.
