About 40 if no-one else scores any
He's been out since round 14, where does the time go.
Goal Kickers 2019
Daisy Pearce seems to have a healthy respect for our club as I heard her make another positive assessment after hearing Buddy's presser this week. She originally thought Buddy might hinder the progress of Blakey & co in his last few seasons but after hearing Buddy is genuinely passionate in developing his young team mates, she now thinks we could genuinely catapult back up the ladder again next year.
I always secretly hoped that - if his body was ok - that Bud might continue on with us on yearly contracts once his 9 year deal was up. Maybe sitting in a forward pocket and contributing 2-3 goals a game while
Blakey, McCartin & Reid (any anyone else we get in future) share the load.
But it sound like that even if all is good with his body and he gets back to a level that he is satisfied with, that he intends to pull the pin after the final year. He’s earned his retirement (whenever it comes). But I will always hope that it goes as long as it can
Wish I could be there tomorrow, really wanted to enjoy both Buddy's 300th and a farewell game for Macca and KJ - but unfortunately some bad health news from Mrs MCS's family means we have to tighten the belts so that we can get her back to the UK to see family in September/October. So won't be there - but hope its a great day and we get a big celebratory win (I think we will).

If anyone needs reminding of just how good the Budmeister is, which you obviously don't, watch this. It's just incredible.....
