ScoMo !

Reckon it's a good idea to keep politics to the Skilton bar - heaven knows we fight enough amongst ourselves when we all support the same team!

Wayne Carey article regarding Buddy's return;
(It came up as a free article so hopefully available to everyone)

How Buddy Franklin can get his swagger back

Even after 18 months out of the game, Sydney veteran Buddy Franklin roams almost in a stratosphere of his own.

www.theage.com.au

Essentially a complimentary article, along the lines of enjoy Buddy while the game still has him.

However there is also this snippet;

Buddy will take the best defender and considerable heat off younger team-mates like McDonald and Tom McCartin

, who has already showed plenty of promise.

Not quite up there with his view that Sam Mitchell wouldn't get a game at any club other than Hawthorn or his article mid last year declaring Richmond couldn't win the flag.
But hardly an expert opinion when he appears ignorant as to where Tom now plays.

 

[momentbymoment]

If Carlton take this game after Eddy got his hopes up ... my Thursday is complete haha.

Agree

good little 'hype up' video of Buddy on Swans website.
must admit, I've been a bit nervous re Buddys return.. Will the Swans be too Buddy centric? Does Buddy still have it after 18 months out, half a practice game in the reserves and 34 years old?
Not nervous anymore.. just excited!! Buddys back
good video

Article on Logan McDonald;

From three-goal debut to running out with Bud, Logan's living the dream

Three goals in your first AFL game is nothing to be sneezed at, but Swans young gun Logan McDonald is eyeing loftier ambitions

www.afl.com.au

Couple of quotes from Logan;
Good;

"I'm not happy with just getting drafted and playing one AFL game," he said. "I want to potentially be one of the best key forwards in the comp."

Bad;

"I'll be running as many dummy leads as I can for him (Buddy obviously) ."

Back yourself son and hope the other players take the best option.

He'll be ready if the ball comes his way and Bud will be right there if he nails the goal.

The article assumes Buddy, but he could have been talking about Gulden.

vs

Swans considering how best to manage Buddy. I suspect they'll be looking at the 6 day turnaround games closely.

After 581 days between games, rest already looms for Franklin

The superstar forward will almost certainly miss one of the Swans’ next two matches as part of the club’s conservative management of the prized spearhead.
