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.

Looks like it turned out to be bullsh!t

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...?

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.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
