    Not much cred with that list. Franklin is #2 without a game, Craig Bolton misses the list altogether??

    Jason Ball was a pretty handy trade too. As was Mumford. And Jolly. And Morton. And Mattner. That list is full of @@@@.

      Buddy was good in the press conference, took a while to get going but became more relaxed the longer it went. Got the impression he just loves his footy and is looking forward to a new challenge.

        The Buddy effect.

        Lance Franklin will help Sydney's bottom line

        BUDDY Franklin has had an instant impact on the Swans bottom line with his arrival creating unprecedented membership inquiries.

        The day after he signalled his intentions to join the red and whites the Swans office had nearly 500 fans expressing interest in becoming members.

        The extraordinary number was more than three times the previous best day in their 31 year history.
        The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible news

          Buddy looks good in Red and White. Imagine if Coca Cola sponsored him!!!! Hawthorn would just die from the irony

            It's good he's having an effect on fat bottoms as well.
            Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

              I know I missed the entire finals series, but everytime I see a Hawthorn sticker on a car I have this weird feeling that we are the winners here, and they are the losers!!!

                There should be a new drink called Buddy Cola.

                      If we could persuade AJ to part with it, I'd love to see Franklin in 34. Who wouldn't want to run around in the number immortalised by the great Troy Luff?

                            Regarding Buddy's number.......surely the early call of "Thirteen!!! Thirteeeeeeeeeeeen!" is still the best - especially with Dre almost certainly going.
                            24 is available. We could say he's gone one better.

                              Is 10,200,000 available?

                                Apparently so.
