Personally I say * him on behalf of the thousands of little kids who had 23 on their backs.

Why?
Summed it up perfectly 89AdopterBecause the way he left characterised that he's a campaigner of a person. He conspired to join them while still contracted to us for a year. He and the other snake, Pickering, then concocted the 9 year deal which meant we had zero capacity to match the deal and force a trade from them. Compare that to Dangerfield who was also a RFA, but pretty much requested Geelong to trade for him so Adelaide didn't get screwed.
I have no qualms with him leaving to be with his partner - he's only human. But he could have gone about it in a better manner. To stab us in the back on the way out - I concur with the above - **** him.

This thread is really sad to read. How the hell can you still be bitter lol
TBH I think buddy's main problem is the lack of space he has to play in at the SCG. Bud has always played his best footy on wide open grounds where he can run his opponent up the ground and then burst into space heading back towards goal much like he did vs the Bulldogs the week before.We can take solace in the fact that we had him at his best. He is now well and truly on the decline (as is Gaz). His genes are starting to catch up with him and he's just too big now. He's no where near as fast or agile as he once was and that is what made him a star. He's never been contested mark gorilla. Sure, he'll throw in the odd cameo performance for 5-10 minutes here and there but 99% the dominant Buddy games are behind him. It's actually going to be a bit sad watching him try to do the things he used to do but now can't. Still, we have the DVDs and the premierships to keep us happy. What do the Swans have other than 6 years of salary cap problems?
Nice vintage, you chose wisely.
Deep down buddy would be feeling slightly guilty about leaving hawthorn if he doesnt win another flag. I can guarantee that. Sometimes money isnt everything and neither is having the hot model girlfriend on your arm who instead of supporting her bloke and moving to melbourne forced him move to sydney so she could continue to live her self absorbed pretentious life. I see cooper cronk in that same light now. Your only a footy player for a part of your life if the other half cant compromise on that maybe she isnt worth it. Just my little rant on the topic.
I reckon
Like the bloke obviously wanted to live with his missus
Footy isn't everything
Its not about moving to different states you could maintain a relationship while living in different states, i know many people that have done it and are doing it. Just because thats not how you view the world doesnt make your opinion right. Cronk has possibly 2 years left in the game, his missus couldnt wait that long? Please if its meant to be than its meant to be. Dont understand the haste. You should both compromise in the relationship, not bend over because your partner wears the pants.
