Preseason Day1

[wolftone57]

I guess the Franklin article should have specified that he may hang around for a light kick-to-kick session and then maybe some autographs afterwards, rather than actual training and conditioning. If I was Buddy I would have run the trial, silence the critics. I am not a critic, just someone who thinks he needs to show some substance at some point soon for everyone to be A-OK cool with everything.

By some of his pics on fronting for preseason training at the Hawks he probably can't drag himself past the gym door. I have a feeling he is pretty fond of the odd choccy eclair or mud cake in the off season. If you see a bloke that looks a little like Jabba The Hutt anywhere around the club, look in the cafeteria, you might just have found him. The other possibility is he might have got lost coming to training, after all it is difficult to see when you have just left a Day Club in Bondi and are still wearing super sunnies.

Anyone have the order of results of the time trial? Wonder who came back in ordinary shape?

Dane Rampe 1, Dean Towers, Harry Cunningham, jordan Lockyer and Swampy.

Also in the short video of the finish looked like Dan Robinson just ahead of Marsh.

Looks pretty fit here wolfie. Not an ounce of fat to be seen!

But it was Buddy, via his manager, who made the call that he'd be there 2 weeks early.....If he was, I'm sure there would of been some coverage of 'Buddies first day'...

So my assumption is he hasn't followed through as promised. We'll wait and see if he shows at all this week...Before his 'little break' before he is actually due for training.

Or maybe he didn't want Goodesy seeing him out of shape, so he's training the house down, privately, before showing up.....Somehow I doubt it.

How awkward.

But I thought he was a big fat whale like his dad? How can an elite 26yr old athlete turn up to training in shape?!

There's always a dark side - it looks like Gary Rohan has shrunk.

Lance looking down at another player. How disgusting. Not true Bloods spirit.

Only in SE Qld.

I think Buddy is under some pressure from his peers to make a good showing.

And one other thing. Buddy Franklin used to play for Hawthorne. Not anymore. He is currently a paid up member of the Sydney Swans Football Club. He plays for the Swans now. I don't understand the slagging off.

He doesn't have to be on deck yet, that is an understood situation by most footballing fans. If he wants to get in amongst the boys early well and good. However it could be that the coaching staff don't want him to do the type of training some of you appear to thing he should be doing right this very instant. After all he has come off a GF campaign. So its all about training management timing which most of us have NO idea about.

The end.
