I've got to much time on my hands replying to this thread. If there has every been a player that went on a season too long that's buddy this year. Absolute champion that is done as an AFL player

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

    Buddy's getting less of the footy these days.  Imagine no possessions.

    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. 

    Surely you aren’t suggesting that we “manage” Stephen May 😮🙄

    I respect his greatness and contributions to the game.

    But I can never forget the beltings we suffered at the hands of buddy and the Hawks during their dynasty.

    He wouldn't have joined us during our darkest days, he doesn't deserve a look in during our brightest. 

    Good luck to him doing supplement commercials with his wife in his retirement.

    Thanks, but no thanks.

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

    I’m not angry… I’m just disappointed.

    It's not a 100% certainty that the round 24 game will be Buddy's farewell game like we assumed it would be.

    Apparently Buddy now wants to play on and it's up to Sydney on whether they want to give him an extra year.

    Buddy will have a farewell lap of honour before our game at the SCG, but will not be playing.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
