Buddy's kicking for goal has been poor, but it is just a confidence thing.
His around the ground play looked alright on the weekend.

Buddy will click in due course, I actually think the failed move to the midfield has effected his forward play, the confidence looks to have taken a definite battering.
Most forwards would kill for 18 touches on a bad day. Has kicked 85 goals more than Richo at the same age. He is freakishly good.
A frustrated Jake King goes in hard and gives away an (automatic?) free and possibly 50, commentators slate him for being undisciplined and not smart enough. A frustrated Buddy Franklin repeatedly hits late in the marking contests and slings players to the ground well after they have disposed of the ball, Umpires/commentators "Nothing to see here, move along........."
Buddy is on pace to set a new record for most behinds in a season,
He currently has 36 and Sumich has the record for 88 in 1991.

Buddy could also have at least one out on the full per week too. The day it connects for him is carnage for the opposition.
I was listening to 774 in the first half while in transit to a joint with foxtel. And the commentators made mention of Maric getting into our mate Buddy. They went on about how unwise it was to fire up Hawthorn's best player after their poor showing in the first quarter. WRONG. Correct move by the dominant male on the park. Surely enough, minutes into the second quarter, they were calling Maric marking over Franklin. Lance is pretty fragile IMO. Wasn't surprised to see Maric emasculate him.
Can you imagine the amount of heat that would have come Clarkson's way if the Hawks hadn't won in '08? The flag's the only thing that has bought him extra time since then.
Poor kicking by the Cats and clever use of rushing a behind to get a quick restart again won the Hawks the final - I know the margin was about 5 goals in the end, but if the Cats had kicked straight in the 1st half it may have been different.
