we will regret not taking franklin
No regrets!!!! Tambo will be fine, and if he isn't then that's just the way it is. Franklin will be whatever Franklin will be and quite frankly I couldn't care less. :
Frankly I can't see why you guys care either. Let Franklin be Hawthorn's problem. If he does a knee next week how many of you guys will be wishing we took him. You'll all be off his band wagon saying "urrr we should have taken Jordan Lewis or John Meeson urrr". Stop living in the past. I am so looking forward to two years time when Tambos an absolute champion and if he isn't, well boo hoo. I'll be sorry for the boy because I think he deserves better.
i am just being realistic in stating that at this moment we look like we have drafted an injury prone skinny kid who played some good junior footy and looked like could be anything. at the end of the 04 season and even now we are ldesperately lacking in kpp forwards. franklin reminds me of a very young richo. he will end up a very fine kpp forward. mark my words.
if you are not the slightest bit dissapointed by the injuries ritchie has had so far in his short career than you should be.
i would like nothing more than this to be a short term thing and he gets fit and comes along like we all know he should but im sorry to say at this point in time we drafted a big problem.
Of course I'm disappointed as I'm sure he is. I'm also sure Franklin will end up at least useful if not, as you say, a very fine kpp forward. My point is, we didn't draft him so he won't be playing for us in the near future. End of story. Every time we talk about Tambling someone mentions Franklin. Why? We drafted who we drafted. I'm sure we had our reasons.
We didn't put Rory Kirkby or Kurby or what ever his name is on our rookie list and we took Thursty instead. Lots of people were screaming then. Looks like we won that one now. Win some lose some and I reckon we are far from having lost on Tambo just yet. Statements like "we will regret not taking franklin" are pure guess work and serve little purpose. If Tambo was to read some of the stuff posted here he may feel pretty low.
Luckily I don't reckon many of the football players would be stupid enough to read a fan forum. Unfortunately it would probably be the young ones who may be tempted.
