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...

Mahatma! I'm sure you are going to draw some flack for this, but I like the way you think....

Re: Buddy Franklin?

Freeo has the money but I would think west coast would be more likely the preference if he was to choose. Imagine nic nat and Franklin, scary..

Re: Buddy Franklin?

Can't see us being in any position to pay significantly more than what Hawthorn has offered.....and there would be no other reason for him to want to join us in preference to Hawthorn.

You would think this is more about him wanting to get back to WA rather than chasing more money. You wouldn't want to leave a club with serious premiership potential unless the coin was significantly greater elsewhere...and I'm not sure it would be a hell of a lot more than what Hawthorn have apparently offered.

Caught up with my mate today who is a Hawthorn supporter and he feels this year is the last premiership opportunity with the current players, such as Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and even Buddy (expecting to lose him). Excited they have Lake at back so the spine looks pretty good.

Would Buddy pass the quality people test?

Re: Buddy Franklin?

If I remember right he elected to stay at Hawthorn during his last contract negotiation for a lower price to be part of the team, pushing for flags. I think he's just holding out for his right whack now. Similar to Brian's situation with us a few years back.

Realistically, would the best player in the league need to?

Slightly tongue in cheek question. Does Buddy fail the "no dickheads" policy?

Would Buddy pass the quality people test?

Damn beaten to it.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

Don't think Hawthorne will actually win the flag this year either. I hate to say it but I think the pies will be right up there again along with westcoast.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

I reckon they are as good a bet as any. At the cost of some good depth they have fixed their biggest problem - a high quality gorilla FB.

If they get this flag, Franklin might deem himself to have done enough for Hawthorn.

Re: Buddy Franklin?

How funny would it be if Buddy went to another club and Hawthorn decided that Brian Lake could play forward for the last two years of his contract?

Funnier if he came here.

Pleaae God. If you exist make it happen!

That would be awesome for so many reasons.
