    Buddy Contract Extension

    Due to Buddy's outstanding form recently and his match winning performances over Port and Richmond, time the Swannies offer a further 2 year contract extension to his existing deal!

    2 years is an insult, nothing less than 5 years will do

    Perhaps you are right. In 1981 Magic Johnson signed a 25-year contract in the NBA for $1 million a year, to start in 1984 when his then current contract was due to expire. So Buddy's contract is just a doddle.

    I'm up for it as long as it gives us first dibs on his offspring in perpetuity.

    Now that's smart thinking. Hope Jesinta wants a large family with plenty of boys.

    Imagine if he married the Aussie Netball defender Laura Geitz at 186cm

    now that would have been a serious little child prodigy for netball, basketball or more importantly AFL !!!

    He is amazing marketing value. The only player my 4 year old knows is "Franklin". When he sees any AFL game he always says "where's Franklin, had he scored a goal".

    We were watching some local Sydney AFL football on Saturday and he calls out to the amusement of bystanders "where's Franklin".

    Same with my 4 year old. Everytime he sees the swans on tv or at the ground he says "Is that Lance Franklin?" It was helped by having their photo together on swans fan day at the beginning of the year

    More outrage from Eddie - Swans players getting outside assistance!

    The bloke has amazing charisma. It must be the tattoos, the swagger, the confidence. My boy knew he was a star the first he saw him!
