It was not buddy’s fault that Hawthorn butchered the ball in perfect conditions against North Melbourne at Aurora stadium last week; Buddy was omitted from the side due to a “Virus,” and was not well enough to fly to Tasmania.
Lance Franklin is young. He's in the team, week in and week out, putting his body on the line and kicking oh so many glorious goals for the hawks. Youthful, strident, assertive goals. Goals that old people couldn't kick.
