Will Buddy Franklin leave or stay at Hawthorn?

A large sum of money will be offered to Lance Buddy Franklin at some point this year. Some are even saying that it could be the largest amount of money any AFL player has ever been offered; even Ablett!

I speculate that Franklin won't be able to refuse the offer; if its meant to be as large as what people are saying it will be too good to be true. We watched with teary eyes when Ablett left the team he loved - where his career started; and I believe the same situation will happen here.

You can tell the offers are getting to Buddy's head, his form prior to this year  is well down compared to previous years at the club.

So what's your thoughts? Will the temptation be to much, or will the love for the Hawthorn Football Club be enough to keep him there?

Eddie McGuire thinks Adam Goodes could promote King Kong?

After Eddie McGuire’s landmark interview apologizing for the racial comments made at Friday night’s match , he gets himself into an awkward  situation by making inappropriate comments.

What I am asking is if Australian's really takes racism seriously?

Each year in Australia we have a great round of football known as the Indigenous Round, where Indigenous players show off their AFL skills. However in this developed nation, people are still naive enough to make Indigenous and racial comments. Eddie McGuire has been grilled after implying Adam Goodes could promote an upcoming King Kong musical. This Age.com.au (2013) has quoted McGuires’ slip up “Triple M breakfast co-host Luke Darcy had described a promo for the musical as great and McGuire replied: 'Get Adam Goodes down for it do you reckon?’”. This of course is in reguard  to the taunt that was made by the 13 year old on Friday nights clash against the Pies.

I have respect for the apology McGuire did after the match, but it makes me wonder could he really mean it  if he can make a remark like he did this morning, high lighting the point 'Do Australians take racism seriously?’

Should Butcher be playing at AFL level at this moment of time?

Should the big Key Forward John Butcher be playing AFL football at this moment of time.

I have been looking into John for sometime now watching his progress in the SANFL, and my opinion is that he has struggled at even that level. He broke on to the since with that incredible start to his career but since hasn't really done match.

I understand that he was riddled with injury last year and struggled to get consisted form behind him because of that, but throwing him in to AFL level with out consecutive good form games under his belt is the wrong thing to do.

I do believe that he has the talent to be something special for the Power but i believe putting him in the twos, letting him get some good form under his belt, and don't play him at AFL level until he is kicking bags of goal consistently.

Adam Goodes Saga

The Adam Goodes saga. If any of you heard the interview that he had post game with Eddie McGuire you will know what I am talking about.

 My first question is should that interview be shown in schools to teach the importance of this issue and to show that racial discrimination is wrong.

 Whats your thoughts should it be shown in schools?
