Not everyone can get their goals from 2 meters out. Looks like you didn't get a fed of the game there dud.The_Dud wrote:Buddy vs Richmond, 1 goal 7.......

Roo has a higher goal % than Buddy this year. This is however, based on overall goals rather than set shots.The_Dud wrote:Buddy vs Richmond, 1 goal 7.......

You have to take into account the quality of some of Buddy's points.The_Dud wrote:Buddy vs Richmond, 1 goal 7.......

Some players have to try from much harder places within the forward 50. (like 35 meters out, 40 degree angle)
Seriously dude, here is some advice.The_Dud wrote:Spinner wrote:Not everyone can get their goals from 2 meters out. Looks like you didn't get a fed of the game there dud.The_Dud wrote:Buddy vs Richmond, 1 goal 7.......

Franklin has two distances
he can kick them from 50, and he can kick them from the goal square
anywhere inbetween there and he is much more unreliable than Roo
i think Roo's shanked a total of 2 kicks this year, and has never returned figures of 1.7 or 1.11......
It's pathetic how our fans bag other teams' players, yet so willingly talk up our players as something special.Spinner wrote:Seriously dude, here is some advice.
Don't bag players that are stars that happen to play for opposition clubs.
It made you look like you watch very little outside of anything red, white and black.

Here's the thing: Buddy has an off day, Roughy bounces up and fills in.
Hawthorn are a quality side.
Let me get this straight - Buddy Franklin kicks 1.7 but that's okay because Hawthorn are a quality side? 1.7 is a scoreline that would have placed a loss on Buddy's head if they weren't a quality side, or if Richmond were.evertonfc wrote:It's pathetic how our fans bag other teams' players, yet so willingly talk up our players as something special.Spinner wrote:Seriously dude, here is some advice.

Buddy and Richo have very comparable percentages, very comparable dominance of the game at a young age, icluding the hype Richo used to get.Spinner wrote: I heard somewhere, which I totally agree with.
Buddy has been front page news ALL WEEK. Compared ALL WEEK to the greatest our game has seen.
He was always going to crack. And I dont see 1.7 at all that bad. Its better than 2.4 every other week like Roo and Richo alike.
I never said it was a good thing; I only commented that they have the flexibility in player ability to cover for any problems that emerge.BAM!

Right.By the same token as the comment above about Saints supporters being biased in favour of our players, I am continually disgusted by the number of Saints supporters who fawn on others teams stars as if doing so made them objective. Franklin's done this before, it's the remaining flaw in his game.

I guess you didn't see Buddy's goal. One metre at most.Spinner wrote:

Well, that's certainly not what happens on SS at any rate.evertonfc wrote:

Exactly.BAM! (shhhh) wrote:
If you don't see 1.7 as that bad, then you're missing a lot of what Reiwoldt, Pavlich, Brown and even Hall do in order to help their team by being team players and not simply taking a shot every time the ball's in their hands. .
By who?Lennon wrote: Riewoldt gets blamed for us losing, when most of the team plays like sh1t, because he misses a shot on goal, despite easily being in our best players for the match.
You need to apply some perspective mate.Buddy kicks 1.7 yet is not to be criticised because somebody else stepped up and the Hawks still won.
You have got to be joking. Have you been reading the vitriol posted on here about him after losses for about the last three years?evertonfc wrote:
He almost never gets blamed for us losing. What an odd thing to say.
But that is completely irrelevant.evertonfc wrote:
Not only that, but someone else stepped in.
