I don’t care who plays on him as long as they stop him. Last time Rivers played on Buddy, Buddy played awesome and I remember Buddy saying Rivers couldn’t keep up and was [censored]. I don’t think Rivers is the right person for the job

I can't remember if it was the NAB cup loss last year or not, but in that game Ferguson and Frawley were tried on him, and got poleaxed, then Rivers was moved on him and while he didn't stop him completely, he corralled him and the goals stopped raining... they kind of drizzled after that. Franklin is an arrogant peanut. One of those players who's overconfidence is useful at times.

Don't get me wrong, I reckon Brown is number one at the moment, and when he declines ion his 30s Franklin will take over as the power forward with the most impact... I'd recruit him, but I don't rate what comes out of his mouth as anything but trash-talking twaddle... in the same vein as Feva.

Buddy Franklin tore MFC apart in the last quarter of the 2007 pre season cup at Telstra dome. FWIW, Warnock was on Franklin in the last quarter. But in due respect of the situation, MFC's underdone midfield were overrun in the last quarter and Franklin stylishly finished off the hard work of others up the ground.

Warnock... Yeah that's right. Not Ferguson. I knew something was wrong there as I wrote it...

To be fair to Warnock, alot of Buddy's goals were the loose man overlap where Warnock was drawn to cover other players left loose further up the ground. I dont recall many one on one contests in that last quarter. Nevertheless, Franklin would probably cut Warnock to ribbons in them anyway.

Warnock, is he still on the list? I'd actually rather Ferguson than Warnock.

I doubt he features in anyone's plans around here for 2008.

Better still, win the midfield and cut the supply to the Hawks forwards. Make Franklin contest for marks. Silky on the lead and the ground but not so much on the contested mark. Slow the movement of the game and get numbers back to assist the defence.

Too many capable options up forward to allow an effective double team to work consistently.

sounds good, but should that fail, line him up and smash him....fairly off course

Well there is that.

Common knowledge...is it that common?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
