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.

    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

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.
