Best thing ever the Tiges DIDNT pick up Buddy Franklin | Thread profile

If we had, he (Buddy) surely would have been the difference in a few games in the last few years to alter our selection number, and we wouldn’t have picked up Cotchin. So it beges the question. Cothin looks the Likely type to join Ablett and Judd as Champion midfielders (not putting pressure on him, but he dose look special) and with recent media debates on who is this years best, Buddy ...

Interesting perspective. I still would've preferred Buddy

Bazaar this is absolute stupidity! Best thing ever you say? This thread actually pisses me off. We made a mistake we should all have accepted it by now.

I agree. Cotchin will be about equal with Buddy in a couple of years, but Cotchin has mroe value to us because he is 4 years younger.

Its hardly a strategy. Only time will tell to see how this all works out. Winners are grinners...?

I'm being real here. And anyway who knows like someone said before we ...
