The Real Cost of Buddy?

[Matt80]

Why can't Buddy be a Michael Tuck or a Dustin Fletcher? He is a better natural athlete that both those players. I fully expect the club to give him one year contracts from his 36 birthday and onwards.

I think the Buddy escape clause is that we keep paying him until the contract is up, whether he plays or not.

Lol attentive porpoises I love porpoises!

White and lamb are spuds. No loss there. Mummy is short term loss but if we had a fully fit list, I cant fit him in. We would be too tall.
Everitt might be the one we miss the most.

Anyway, the buddy knockers seem to get caught up in the 10 year contract issue. If you pretend its only 5, it seems much better. Swans will have an escape clause, don't worry about that.

Fremantle are down by 57 points to the Hawks at half time. Fremantle are missing Fyfe, Barlow and Michael Johnson amongst others. Just like the Swans, when you have your better players out, you will struggle. Having a healthy list is imperative to have success in this league.

As ugg said, look at hawthorn. Didnt have a ruckman for last night and still flogged last years grand finalist. Injuries in my opinion are only an excuse if you make them an excuse. Certainly no excuse for our 2 feeble attempts so far against mediocre teams at best.
