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.

    R24 - Beat Swans and get Port over there. 
    “Manage” a few and its a home final.

    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.

    good result for us i reckon

    i’m  happy to clap Lance. a legend of the game

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
