Can't deny there are plenty of rumours flying around now about Buddy.

Dunno about anyone else but he just stuffed my Dreamteam semifinal to boot!

    Sorry I must have missed all this. What's the insinuation about Buddy, RR?

    This doesn't look good maybe they have put buddy on ice till finals or buddy took it upon himself to do it

    Seems almost as tho he has lost his license to play drive, to get to the line?

    Stuffed my super coach team.

    Maybe the rumours have merit. If he mysteriously doesn't reappear then I will keeping my ears to the ground.

    In all seriousness if there has been 3 strikes shouldn't it be an immediate suspension? Would for arguments sake Matthew Bate (Sorry Bater) get the same treatment with 3 strikes as one of the games superstars? Or am I in dreamland where everyone is equal.

    I know it is speculative, but hell if the rumours turn out to be true then the AFL has a big problem by not coming out and saying what is what!!

    Bringing the game into disrepute if they just leave it under the covers.

    they don't need him, bring him to melbourne! B) :)

    That makes 6 weeks off. The 2nd offence drug strike policy is that a player must have a 6 week ban. Coincidence?

    Dear Buddy ,

    Please remember when you were a child and the mighty Demons were your heros.

    Whatever you have done wrong- we forgive you.

    Come home son.

    We still love you.

    If nothing else it's a superb rumour to wind up my Hawk mate with. He obliges by biting every time.

    Had bench cover for him in Dream Team. Already through to the Prelim in all my Supercoach leagues so the donut there doesn't matter much.

    If true he'll be back soon.. They wouldn't want to interfere too heavily with the finals campaign.

    Like the cogs in your gearbox, they're all working but you cant see them.

    I originally heard this rumour about 2 years ago, it's now just going round and round in circles again. I reckon it is rubbish and I'm one who loves a good conspiracy theory.

    Would be the biggest non-football story in AFL hsitory if true. Bigger than Cousins. Truly a nightmare for the AFL.

    We are talking about him plagiarising Guns 'n' Roses lyrics on his fashion label t-shirts aren't we?

    Stealing from Axl Rose.. that is just plain wrong. He'll go Eddie McG on his ass.

    'Designing' a line of t-shirts - nothing screams "I've got nothing to do in my spare time" more than this.

    HYPOTHETICAL:

    Choice 1: Confront a huge problem with a high profile player in a successful club,

    or

    Choice 2: Drip feed the media fuel for a fire involving a struggling club to generate massive diversionary coverage.

    Which is easier?

    Which is right?

    Am I paranoid?

    Am I right?

    No but he should be sent to Abu Ghraib for that atrocity.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
