Can't believe all the whinging about Buddy being named captain after Rance was last year.
I was surprised reading that Buddy isn't in our leadership group. I thought he was.
The thing I find ironic is that Malcolm Blight said yesterday that Ben Brown should be in the side instead of Buddy as he has kicked more goals. Yeh right dipstick let's drop the best player in the last 20 years to the 2nds. Enjoy your captains cry Buddy! " kick it to me".

Delighted for the Bud and just love this photo. Seriously, how lucky are we to get to watch this genius run around every second week? Will plonk our grandkids on our lap and bore them senseless with tales of his wizardry.
Ronke: I'd love to play under captain Buddy

“Lance Franklin's selection as captain in the 2018 All-Australian side has come in for much criticism and debate, but one man who can't understand the reaction is Swans teammate Ben Ronke.”
“Young forward Ronke, who kicked seven goals in his third AFL game in round three against Hawthorn, told Fairfax Media that Franklin was a wonderful leader at the club despite not being in the official leadership group.”
"Absolutely [I would enjoy playing in a team that Franklin captained]," he said. "I think anyone would, I don't know how there is any conjecture around that to be honest.
"Just this year from my experience the effort that he puts in with the younger players around the club, and to see the enjoyment he gets out of the development of us younger players in the forward line and just experience that first hand. One hundred per cent you'd love to play under him as a captain."
