    Easily the best decision from the club
    Been an absolute pleasure to watch
    Even when he takes on everyone and gets tackled

    My brother and his mate (both Tigers fans) were in town for Dreamtime last week and I went along with them. Later in the evening, Brother's rum asked me "Do you love Buddy?". My scotch answered "absholutely I love him".

    It's been an amazing journey. He plays his heart out, wins games, lifts those around him and gives so much commercially to the club.

    We are fortunate to have him and it is great that we are only at the half-way mark of the initial engagement. I genuinely think he will play out the contract unless cruelled by an unfortunate serious injury. Why not?

    Doesn't change the fact that it shouldn't have been imposed though.

    At what point does Buddy become a 'win'
    Most would say he is already.
    He certainly is worth his weight in the publicity etc he generates for the club.
    But as far as a player goes, 6 years? 7?
    Assuming he enters a decline at some point, I'd say if we get 7 solid years from him it's a win.
    A win would be a flag, surely ?

    It would be for the whole team/supporters etc but not necessarily for Buddy himself. Getting out of the fishbowl that is Melb would have been a big win for Buddy. regarding his life
