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.

    “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 

    will be happy clapping day but as he is not playing we shouldn’t see an extra effort from them

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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
