Phew very lucky to not be punished for having Cox as captain instead of Gazza, only got knocked out of one random league finals in DT.

Did much better in SC though with 2400+ could've got 2600 if Gazza was captain!

Congrats on beating me dude, I thought Cox would have dominated too :O

I purely had a shocker and recorded my lowest score in a very long time dissapointing to be out of the MMGN league but I'm still in a few more.
After going undefeated in the DT league with no donuts I get a heap in the last two weeks and I'm out in straight sets.

Looking good for the Prelims in the SC league though.
Straight sets for me in SC, but should be looking good in DT.

Franklin out cost me the game.
That's not fair, I'm out but got the highest score in the MMGN league this week :( One bad week killed me!

Yeah sorry for being the one who knocked ya out Jason, the way my teams been up & down I don't expect to get much further in the finals unless Buddy stops the stuff arounds.

Was Buddy's illness just a side-effect from all the drugs?

How many games has Buddy been named in and then pulled out of now?

It's a bit suss he was due back two weeks ago then for some reason they've held him back even though it's ruined his Coleman medal chances.
Doubt it. They get tested right through the off-season, when they're not scheduled to play.

Is it true the players only get drug tested if they're scheduled to play? Might explain why he's been given an extended lay off to get it out of his system



No, you can get tested any time. They can rock up at your house mid week if they want.

I'm sure they are all rubbish & they're just resting him against easy beats but sportsnewsfirst is the last place you'd go for a reliable source lol.
Bud you dont rest a player for 7 weeks [Facepalm]
Yeah he needs to be back this week to have any chance of being dominate in the late finals.

Needed to be back 2-3 weeks ago to be ready for finals, so he'll be a liability at least the first week.

If the Hawks get a week off, he should probably play VFL.

What? Because they'd misquote him? It's a quote. Helluva lot more reliable than bullshit Facebook rumours.

Don't underestimate Buddy. :)
They just talk a lot of crap & have been terribly wrong with a lot of their groundbreaking rumours since they started.

Yeah I hope he's back this week so I don't have to rely on a 30-50 points from Tippett who's rusty as after all these nasty concussions & trade rumours :P

They rested hodge, and then kicked 5 goals in his comeback game.
Buddy needs a rest :P

Bring on the swans =) We smashed them last time at the SCG
lol wouldnt it be really funny if the Hawks lost there last 2 and gave up 4th spot to the west coast :)
If they did, it won't be because Franklin is out.
Their forwardline has been better without him.

As I said a few weeks ago when he was meant to return, I doubt he'll spend too much time at full forward. He'd be better off as a pushing far up the ground chf who occasionally pushes back deep (not most of the time as he has done in the past).

But not sure he'll have the fitness to essentially play as a midfielder.

Bring it bitch! *_*

It should be a good game and it's a great preparation for the finals, it's also good to see the game has been sold out for quite a while too.

Ben said: Their forwardline has been better without him.

I agree in a way, but they weren't great against GCFC. Roughead wasn't 100% and no Cyril either. Gunston has been a great full-forward replacement for Buddy, he is really hard to man up on because he is tall, athletic and a great mark (and kick). I wouldn't be surprised if they park him in the goal square with Cyril at his feet and then have Buddy & Roughy roaming half-forward. It could be pretty potent.

Gunston would've been a great replacement for outgoing Kurt Tippett, I actually think he's a better forward the only advantage Kurt has is he's also a decent part time ruckman.

I've said it before but the Crows must be pissed to lose Gunner, he was a great pick up for Hawthorn & will be a very good 10 year key forward.
