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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
