Lance Franklin a late withdrawal ... again

Featured Replies

Can't the AFL testers rock up to his house to test him at any old random time they like?

I stress this is just another variation of the rumour. But I suspect he has numerous girlfriends, address unkown he can shack up with if need be till he is clean. Given his golden boy status and the AFL's track record, bending the rules for Buddy is also a possibility.

I find this very hard to believe adc

In today's media environment the need for stories is huge

No one could successful hide a story like that.

As I said, just another rumour. I don't say I believe it but I did hear it. And there have been plenty recently.

One hundred women in under one hundred days, apparently. Quite an effort.

Oh boy, what a hoot that was. Do you know the name he gave himself for that feat?

'ologists did. When I let it slip a few years ago. Much to their outrage and my total stupidity / naivety.

Maybe the problem really was a late withdrawal but it had something to do with one of said women and not the Port game?

No I don't. Do tell.

Lets see if he comes out with a No 1 haircut?


No I don't. Do tell.

Something about three figures from memory, there's a word in there that might be a bit too offensive for this forum.

I'm inclined to believe what Hawks have come out with...but is it possible the story is true and an injunction has been sort to delay any announcement/decision whilst it is challenged?

Believe believe believe, but wouldn't you want to come out 'yourself', to deny the mischievous & false accusations...?

Looks like it turned out to be bullsh!t

Or not.

That's the problem with club officials and players these days. You can never be sure if they're telling the truth or not.

You mean it has changed ?

I am reliably informed RR that one of the major reasons the media get stuck into us is they believe they have been told pork pies by a senior manager at the MFC.

On more than one occasion.

That may be OD, but then why doesn't the media get stuck into other clubs to the same degree? Can't just be the porkies surely ...

I heard he lives in a castle and does heaps of drugs.

(God people are stupid).

I did say it was one of the reasons.

The other of course RR is we do lead with our chin.

We give them plenty to work with.

Agree with that. Also, if the club official who you speak of is the same one I'm thinking of ... well, he's trodden on quite a few toes over quite a few years now ... it shouldn't surprise that they're lining up to sink the slipper when we're down.

Some serious grudges going on the footy fraternity.

100% agreement on that one

If the grudges existed purely outside of the MFC, it probably wouldn't mater that much, if at all. Problem is, I suspect some of it emanates from within as well.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
