BUDDY FRANKLIN IS GOD

Yeah Fev did a great job, but he just wasnt good enough. Cant say i like the way Fev goes about life, but he surely is a good player. Better then Jonathon Brown who everyone seems to think is the best. But Buddy is in a class of his own. Not bad for someone who has had multiple players tagging him just about every game

And great game by the Crows by the way. Top stuff

who cares lets keep it to travelling and 4wd stories.

al

why'd you bother opening up the thread al?

I agree that John Brown isnt in the same class as Buddy............WELL above actually. You cannot compare the two. And dont forget the 3 Premiership Medals around his neck.

Cheers

Premierships are a team effort mate not individual. Lets see who polls more Brownlow votes shall we, thats the true way to tell.

And as for Al, what a sook. Obviously your as Australian as a peperoni pizza. Its the national game mate and someone has made history. Alot of posts on here are off topic mate so get over it.

Does everyone have to stop wishing people Happy Birthday on here, thats not travelling or 4wding.

Luke, I agree - Go the crows! I thought Franklin was from Tassie but I now stand corrected. Yes he is good, but he's no Jonno Brown.

Brownlow votes the true way to tell? Are you kidding or are you just winding me up? You'd be the only person in Australia to think the umpires know what they are talking about.
Brownlow votes...............LMAO!!!

Cheers

LMAO!!!

Franklin is a very good Full Forward, but not yet a great one. Doubt he ever will be.

Brown is a great Centre Half Forward.

Matthew Lloyd always kicked more goals than Wayne Carey. Carey ws a champion CHF, Lloyd was/is a good FF. BTW, I'm an Essendon supporter.

Jim.

Ken Farmer

And in SA they have the Ken Farmer Medal.

A true champion.

Go the crows
Go the tigers (Glenelg)

I'm sure he was a champion in the SANFL.

But......

" in the best competition in the land at the time". That is simply incorrect.

The VFL/AFL has always been the premier Football League.

Point taken Jim, but vfl has ALWAYS been the premier comp you say? Then how come in the late 60's/early 70's SA teams won the championship of Australia? I can't remember how many times. I remember Barassi came over here with Carlton once and were beaten by North Adelaide led by Barrie Robran, now there's a champion.

Eddie Macguire had a dig at Robran once about being put into the hall of fame and most people just laughed at him.

Barnesy

I hear what you are saying Barnesy.

The simple fact is that players from SA and WA went to VIC to prove themselves. And make some money. Polly Farmer, Graham Moss, Stephen Kernahan, Dorotich, etc.

VFL was the big time and many VFL clubs spent huge amounts of money luring interstaters. Quality footballers come from all places and races.

I apologise for Eddie and Ron. Two blokes whose ego's far exceeded their abilities. Barassi was amongst the best footballers ever seen, but he should have left it at that. Eddie, well.......

Jim.

Some guys played the game because they loved the game, and never took a cent to play, BC Robran included. Apparently Leigh Matthews said recently that one of his biggest challenges as a coach preparing for a game is dealing with the players that play because they can get paid lots of money for it, not because they are passionate about footy. My son is involved with a league club development squad. Talk about passionate; he gets a buzz out of playing on the same ground as the league guys. Hope he maintains the passion, just needs to play for a good club!!! LOL.

Fair enough Jim. As a South Australian I still have a hard time accepting vics.
As a point of interest, which club has won the most Championships of Australia? Port Adelaide.

Port Adelaide

Are sorry Barnesy, I thought you didn't know the answer.. LOL

:-)

being a South Australian and all ... :-(
