Took Swans to top of the table in 14 and 16..Most country's in the world would recognize this but in Australia the lower ranked teams can get gifted a grand final at there own venue when they haven't earnt the right to host . What Are Victorian teams record at at finals outside Victoria-18%..His record and his legacy will only look better and better in time.If anyone in the AFL should have no regrets and be happy it's Buddy.
In 2016 the grand final was played at a venue Sydney had played at more than their opponent
Yes, and the hometown umpiring definitely helped your mob.
I think there’s a case to mount in 2016, rightly or wrongly.All Sydney had to do was outscore the opposition, relatively simple. Swans were not good enough on the day but resort to blaming the umpires!!
His neighbors?

Mark Evans admitted that 4 of the Bulldogs goals were from terrible umpiring decisions. 4 goals is enough to sway the game, in fact those 4 goals probably determined the result. I forget the exact stat but halfway through the 4th quarter the Bulldogs had a huge free kick advantage. The Swans got a couple of square ups in the dying minutes, but even with those it was still massively one sided. Hannebery got injured when he was taken out by a bulldogs player and was never quite the same after but for some reason even that was not a free kick

I'd argue there was more than the 4:
Add these to the list:
- Grundy handballing to Mills who tries to take on Cordy in the pocket and is caught holding the ball. Terrible decision by Grundy & Mills.
- Buddy attempting to outrun Morris who brings him down in the centre square. Ball spills to Boyd who kicks that huge goal. Terrible decision by Buddy.
- Grundy leaving Boyd all alone in the goal square for the Bont to hit him uncontested. Terrible decision by Grundy
- Grundy attempting to take a mark one handed and in the process of Grundy never controlling the ball, it spills to Dickson who snaps a goal.
Im sure there's more than this tho.
Maybe Tippett had a point in the change rooms after the game.
- Buddy attempting to outrun Morris who brings him down in the centre square. Ball spills to Boyd who kicks that huge goal. Terrible decision by Buddy.
BTW: Buddy playing at Spotless for GWS in 2016 Prelim (alternate Buddy universe).i

It is actually about Hawthorn fans wishing Buddy had regrets, hoping he had regrets. It is about Hawthorn fans who are still bitter he is no longer with their club, that he decided he wanted to leave their club.

I like to display my emotions. What’s wrong with that?No Swans fan has created a thread on the main board about Tom Mitchell.
Who is this Buddy you speak of?It is actually about Hawthorn fans wishing Buddy had regrets, hoping he had regrets. It is about Hawthorn fans who are still bitter he is no longer with their club, that he decided he wanted to leave their club.
but like Lewis Jetta, goes missing under duress...
Quite the opposite I’d say.Another Brownlow or us winning a flag with him before Sydney next win a flag then I dare say we will see a fair few pop up. On top of the many which you seem to have missed over the last couple of years.
Do Bulldogs even win if the umps were brave enough to pay a 50 very late in the game to Scully after a doggies player gets so close to him whilst trying to kick after a mark he had to change his own line to avoid the player? Worst ever non call of a protected space violation I can recall.BTW: Buddy playing at Spotless for GWS in 2016 Prelim (alternate Buddy universe).
Do doggies win?
Given Sydney 0 premierships, destroyed their list management plans, permanently removed 2 million dollars of cheating money from Sydney's salary cap, while costing himself at least two premierships. Yep, fantastic deal. Has set Sydney back a decade.
At least he helped us win a p'ship in a year where other teams where injecting some youth in their club.
right to host . What Are Victorian teams record at at finals outside Victoria-18%
Hannerbery got injured when he was taken out by a bulldogs player and was never quite the same after but for some reason even that was not a free kick
Would of made the same coin at Hawthorn.I think footy fans severely overrate how much some of these blokes care about premierships etc. Particularly when they've already won two. I'm sure everyone one is amazing but you constantly here players talk about how special their first flag was.
Sure maybe when he meets up with his Hawks mates they give him a bit of s**t about leaving but do you honestly think this bloke is sitting there often and going "gee why the **** did I come up here?"?
He has set himself up for life, no doubt lives in a nice house in Sydney, has two flags and still gets s**t load of attention.
He has the best of both worlds.
Hawthorn were offering him the same long term deal?Would of made the same coin at Hawthorn.
