Very funny photo but not sure its the look Swan's mgt would be hoping for.

I just hope Buddy can keep his mind on footy.

he was probably yawning.
They would have taken a hundred pics and found the two that looked the most incriminating.


BTW, not much Kirkness in the winner.

I suspect Scott is right.
And what a junky mag! Complete with "a picture tells a thousand words" - where do these journos learn their craft?

wish everyone would just give it a rest.

It's pretty clear now that News Ltd has him in its sights (or is it sites). All editors have been briefed. Poor bloke. I think he is out of the frying pan and into the fire. I wonder to what degree this sort of muck was anticipated by him and by the club. I wonder if it can be sustained or will the muck rakers get sick of him and move on. Sydney trash media is something else.

This x 100000000000

I don't know who i am fed with the most, the news limited rags selling gossip and innuendo as a sports news item, hawk and adelaide fans online, the "bloods culture" wil be tested mantra OR our own fans who are not dealing with having such a huge name who attracts a lot of publicity play for us.

Chillax everyone and take some xanax.

It was the same in Melbourne except the melb media mafia pulled a few strings (due to ex hawk players working in the media) and wernt as full on.

3/4 of AFL fans in melbourne want to see him ruin the clubs culture and him fail, news limited is just feeding the machine.

I really shouldn't have clicked the link - it's what they want.

yep not gunna read that, good luck with the anti melbourne rants.

i'm not victorian, I live here.

You have no idea (from someone that's currently here.).

Not sure what the point of that rant was, particularly in response to a post that was ignoring the obvious click bait.

Cant see the anti Buddy agenda lasting long, or gaining any traction in Sydney. Melbourne media would enjoy any negative publicity to sell papers / generate clicks. If he keeps it together and starts to perform on the field we wont see these types of stories for long.

As someone who travels back and forth between Syd and Melb quite regularly, owns a house in brunswick and in summer hill, lives 9 months of the year in melb, has an office set up in east melbourne and works with the advertising industry i think i know enough to form opinions from a decade and a bit of observations.

Oh sorry we dont want to offend the hyper sensitive victorians, i tend to forget that respect is a one way street in Melbourne, silly me.

You own a house that's in Brunswick AND Summer Hill? It must be huge!

Ultimately, who cares what they think? No one is standing up for the Melbourne media here. I personally understood your single message 91 posts ago. We follow the Swans, a Sydney club. Most of us live in Sydney. Whether we are scorned or adored in Melbourne is of zero consequence to my day.

On one hand, people liked us and we never really got credit for being as good as we were. Now it seems we are enemy number one, its because they fear us.

Get over it, move on.
