The Lance 'Buddy' Franklin Non Thread

[John Demonic 5,795]

Was listening to Corbin and Ben on the ABC and there was a discussion on whether this was his last year or not, with Brett Sprigg saying Sydney want to move on next year without him, given they want to give others opportunities in their forward line. And Buddy wanting to go on next year. With very little information out there about a supposed 'final game' in round 24. Could we look to snag him on a 1 or 2 year deal and play him alongside JVR next year instead of TMAC/BROWN/GRUNDY who look even less athletic and nimble than Buddy has shown on a few occasions this year where he's played some decent games. 

Flesh it out or throw it out?

In my defence, im benevolently wanting to reunite him with the club he grew up barracking for. Like half the board did with Gaffman 🍷

I think you’ve just disqualified yourself from being allowed to listen. 🤪

Now if you invent a Time Machine and bring back Prime Buddy then I’m onboard.

Nice try, Jacinta

Can’t wait for the “drop Buddy” posts next year calling him old and soft and a has been.

Not the absolute worst I'll give you that.

One of the very best who is playing a very serviceable final season.

No!

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Wouldnt even want him as a forward coach

[Hawny for Gawny 451]

Hear me out, sign him and play him for 100 games, an investment into his kids.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,754]

The better question, and a better use of this thread, is to ask what should we do in Round 24 given we play Sydney in Sydney and it will almost certainly be his last game? He absolutely deserves a quality send-off.

One day the Bud will join us, and the forwards will live as one.....?
