Buddy Franklin?

[Remi Moses]

Wondering on people's thoughts on where he'll end up.
Worrying for Hawthorn , and Clarkson will be more prickly than ever when asked on a constant basis. Apparently offered 900to 1 mil a year to stay.
Reckon West Coast or Freo would be a show,and pie in the sky stuff be we'd have salary cap room.

Whoever offers him the most money but from what you said Remi Hawthorn offered him a lot of money and he hasn't signed on which is a surprise. The quality of Franklin would be a good fit for us up forward as we are lacking in that area.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

We'd have to give up Griffin, Higgins and a 1st rounder to get him in trade and I'm still
not convinced on that type of deal based on the Judd outcome. Think WC are getting a better return/will do long term.

Sydney will most likely pop up at the end of the year and announce they have a lazy $2.5million
left in their bottomless salary cap...

If I was him, I would take the one million, he isn't going to get much more than that with another club, or even with the Hawks. You never know what happens in a year, he could be hit by a bus and never play again. A bird in the hand as they say.

West Coast for mine. No way we could afford him.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

He'll be going home to WA.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

One day, a player like that will come up and we will be able to say ' we might not take him, but we could if we wanted to $$"

Won't he be a FA?

Think it will be Freo if anywhere.
His mate Wellingham has gone back, not great for Hawthorn.
Should run a poll on when Clarkson gets cranky on the issue.

Restricted FA I believe.

How could he get to the Eagles?
Kennedy and Darling in the side.
We have a truckload of salary cap room coming up .
Won't happen but we could afford him I'd think.

Pretty sure they'd make space for Buddy if he wants to go there.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

More likely Freo.
Pav and Sandilands would be on the vets list.
Put in a massive bid for Cloke , so they've got the coin.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

I hope he doesn't leave the hawks. Not sure why. I just like the mega stars to be one club players, even if not for us...

Yep, fair call. Forgot Pav and Sandi are on the vets list.
