    Cool Suns Pick 1 for Buddy (Big Question)

    Well time to start a rumor, or seed a thought.

    Buddy has recently bought an apartment on the gold coast. Gold Coast have offered up their first round selection for an experienced player. Can we join the dots in any way?

    * He would be an ideal one / two year player for them.
    * There would be a connection between Dew, Tippett and Shaw and buddy
    * Takes $ pressure off the Swans cap...

    End rumor and start of conjecture.

    Is this good for the swans generation next? Yes - Room to grow.
    No he has not finished with preparing the new kids for the future..
    Would anyone else be traded as part of a package. Hmmm. One rumor at a time.
    next step submit this thread to the masses, for comments.

    While Buddy is still a fantastic player, I'm not sure if anyone would part with a high draft pick for him, as any hamstring problem, would almost be game over.

    The Suns have made some woeful list decisions in the past but not even they are giving up pick 2 or 3 for Buddy who is a week to week proposition this year and probably next.

    But, some team like Melbourne could get lucky offloading a player like Weideman who probably won't make it anyway to GC thereby continuing the long list of GC list mistakes.

    GC a massive worry for the AFL, look to be ready to implode yet again. Vic and SA clubs circling the talent on the GC list and ready to ream them in the process ala Brisbane's Go Home Five of a few years ago.

    If he goes I think it would be as a learner coach, not as a player.

    And I bet if so he'll do very well.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Lots of people have apartments on the Gold Coast. They have nice beaches and lots of golf courses up there. Didn't Bud flag maybe
    going an extra year with the Swans after 2022 just recently? Besides his wife has a career in Sydney. She probably makes more money
    than him.

    I feel he Buddy a lot a value to the Swans and not a preference to trade. And not just on the paddock.

    And yes a lot of people have appts on the gold coast..

    Hmmmm, you could be right but I thought the AFL were so upset by the length of the contract and considered it ridiculous.

    So upset they only signed it off by stating he must play it out even if he couldn't move physically and his salary would have to stay on our books until the end.

    Oh, also a trade ban as we all know.

    I suspect even Gil (privately) would concede the absurdity of that position now.

    It would be a holiday home.
    He put down $5 mil on a unit in Rose Bay last year as their new family home.
    Thanks to the late Eddie Everywhere, I think that even if we trade him, we STILL have to count the cost of his contract into our salary cap.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
