That ten year deal is looking poorer by the day.

No doubt the corrupt AFL will find a way to let Sydney out of the contract early. They will do anything to protect their beloved Swans

He could feel a weight off of his shoulders now this mental health issue is out in the public.

or the glare of a million spotlights !!!
 

very sim ilar to Clark, including the lack of loyalty

Do not agree C and B he gave them a number of years plus 2 flags.


Agree OD, if Hogan leaves after two flags, he'll have my begrudging blessing...

he's into photography too?

Particularly if offered a similar deal to Buddy.

The whole loyalty thing is bollocks in my eyes. It's their job and they have a short window to make it pay.

Herald Sun is reporting Buddy rushed to hospital last Friday following a seizure.

Could the issue be seizure-related (epilepsy, perhaps?) and not depression? I realise seizures and depression are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

still bolted for the $$$

So would I and 99.9% of the others.

anyone (mental issues or not) would go for that large a mountain of $$$s

I wouldn't

Curious as to why my post was deleted as it was a reasonable question yet others are aloud to post freely....

Any issue that affects the wider community will also affect the AFL community. Particularly considering the demographic of the players. Mental health issues, substance abuse, alcoholism, gambling, etc. Whatever Franklin's issues are, hopefully he can overcome them.

i am glad most of the posters on here have never had to deal with the black dog, it takes a long time,and learning but you never get totally right ,you just learn to cope with it,believe me it is real and shocking

Yeah absolutely identical. Clark left us as a FA after many years of kicking big bags of goals, helping us to 2 flags and we got band 1 compo when he left.

You mean like banning them from freely trading and reducing the COLA? Bit early to assume his contract will be dropped. Cut the guy some slack.

Keep fighting Barney.

There are moments of light in life that make it all worthwhile.

Sometimes everything seems futile and worthless but it is the struggle that counts.


I hope for Buddy to get well and return to the form of the glory days ( just not against us) I am indifferent to the consequences for Sydney of losing him. Nor could I give two hoots about how the AFL feel.

Was rushed to hospital after having a seizure.

Geez you guys are bloody flogs sometimes. Real tough bashing guys with illness, be proud.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
