Buddy has just been reported

[craigsahibee]

Similar to Goodes of last week. I'm not even going to try and guess if he will go or not.

[aker39]

He's gone for at least week.

Very similar to Murph

[MikeSheahan]

The Goodes hit was much worse, so I'll tip Buddy will get off with a warning or reprimand.

[LostDoggy]

Buddy is an overrated showpony who has had a blinding 11 weeks. He has been an inconsistent, flashy player his whole career, and his last 11 weeks has blinded the footy world -- some on this forum have even suggested he's better than Jon Brown, as ridiculous as that assertion is.

Those who think he's a gun, just watch his kick out on the full, 30 metres from the goal on a 45 metre angle. He is a ball-hog (which is why he has 11 shots at goal a game), protected species by umpires and will not win the flag in his career, because the Hawks are not anywhere close to premiership standard.

The Dogs showed the footy world how to beat them, and now every team will just put them under pressure and put them out of their soft-ass misery. They will not finish top four this year -- mark my words.

ps. Buddy will not be suspended, even though it was the same as Murphs. He is a protected species, even more so than Goodes.

It was nothing like Goodes.

Selwood was bending over the ball last week. The Adelaide player was standing up.

More like Murphy than Goodes

More like Murphy than GoodesNever said it was anything like Goodes. I just considered Goodes indescretion was more serious than Buddy's. Both were worse than Shaun Burgoyne's tap and he got three weeks. Consistently inconsistent.

Yeah, you're probably right there aker39. I noticed Channel 10's clock was counting down all the way to the end of the third quarter. Have they done away with the 5 minute warning?

[Scorlibo]

If he gets weeks it will turn into a 3 horse race in the Brownlow, Cooney, Ablett and Black.

[hujsh]

Yeah i would have said gone but after seeing Goodes i'm not so sure

[1eyedog]

Who cares, I couldn't give a stuff about an opposition player to tell you the truth and I am dreading hearing about it all week

[The Coon Dog]

They only have it for the last quarter.

[LostDoggy]

I think that if Murphy can be suspended for his hit, then surely Buddy deserves to be be suspended for what he did, but knowing the AFL he will get off simply because of who he is.:(

[aker39]

Never said it was anything like Goodes.


Never said you did.

I was referring to the opening sentence of the thread.

You could extrapolate that to cover the Hawthorn team as a whole. Their lack of disipline and professionalism is the major barrier seperating them from success. Clarkson has to stop excusing petulant acts from the likes of Jordan Lewis or they will never have success.

[Twodogs]

Speaking of Murphy how come the Brisbane player who ignored the ball in order to shirtrfront Murph on the wing today wasnt reported? It was pretty much exactly the same thing as Murph's report. I was waiting for one of the self important piss and wind merchants to hold up some insignificant piece of play, such as a centre bounce, in order to inform the World of the report.

[LostDoggy]

He's gone for at least week.

Worse than Murphys but similar to Goodes. The guy had his head down.

With the lack of consistancy at the tribunal and no precedents, he'll most likely get off as he is a protected species.

[Topdog]

Well the only thing of importance is how they grade the "impact"

This basically means "did the guy who got hit leave the ground or be attended to by trainers".

It's like a small algorithm

'If No = low = 1 week - early plea = reprimand but no Brownlow'.

'If yes = medium to high = 2 weeks - early plea = 1 week'

[Sockeye Salmon]

I haven't seen it, but this morning's paper said "forearm to the face". That's a lot more serious.

^^^^^^^^
Very good.



Any chance of composing a Haiku about it?

Buddy is a gun, a freak, a match winner call him what u like. Would be very handy in a dogs jumper

Looked a classic 1 week report with a reduction into reprimand territory for the early plea. Didn't do an awful lot wrong to be honest.

Ding ding we have a winner!

[The Pie Man]

little more than 'unsociable football' really - still didn't like it, but I can not like it and be comfortable he gets off. With the other guy tackling, I thought it was a pretty weak thing to do, all he needed to do was join the tackle...though to rub him out would be harsh.

I do not like Franklin. I get this feeling he'll rip that club apart Ben Cousins style (not drugs exactly..though I've heard rumors...more just by being a tool and getting into trouble) and I'll laugh if/when it happens.

I also didn't think there was much to the incident. But as we know the MRP is a ball of contradiction these days.
