The Lance 'Buddy' Franklin Non Thread

Featured Replies

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?

No!

 

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.....?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

    It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

  • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
